Undercrown Connecticut Shade Gordito

Description

Undercrown Shade Gordito is a 6″ x 60 cigar developed by Master Blender Willy Herrera at Drew Estate. An Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf covers a Sumatra binder and a filler blend of Dominican Criollo 98, Nicaraguan Corojo, and Nicaraguan Criollo tobaccos, delivering a medium-bodied, flavorful smoke aimed at Connecticut wrapper fans.

About the Undercrown Shade Gordito

Undercrown Shade was developed by Willy Herrera as a Connecticut-wrapped counterpart to Drew Estate’s original Undercrown blend, built on a multi-country filler recipe combining Dominican Criollo 98, Nicaraguan Corojo, and Nicaraguan Criollo tobaccos. This gordito vitola brings that blend into the line’s thickest 60 ring gauge.

Flavor & Smoking Profile

Shade Gordito smokes medium-bodied with a smooth, well-balanced profile shaped by the Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and the multi-origin filler blend. The thick 60 ring gauge gives the smoke a slow, cool burn well suited to a long, relaxed session.

What Makes Shade Gordito Different

Within the Undercrown Shade sub-line, Gordito is the thickest vitola, sharing its wrapper, binder, and filler blend with the Connecticut Shade Gran Toro but offering a slower burn at 60 ring gauge versus the Gran Toro’s 52. Compared to Undercrown’s Sun Grown and Flying Pig lines, Shade is the mildest, most Connecticut-forward option.

Who Is This Cigar Best Suited For

This cigar suits Connecticut wrapper fans who want a thick, slow-burning, medium-bodied smoke with a long session length.
