The Drew Estate BLACKENED S84 Shade to Black is a bold homage to Metallica’s iconic 1984 track "Fade to Black," fusing the intensity of music with the craftsmanship of premium cigars. Created in collaboration between Drew Estate, Metallica, and Blackened Whiskey, this cigar embodies the evolution from light to darkness, offering a dynamic and complex smoking experience.
 
Handcrafted in Nicaragua, the S82 Shade to Black is a medium-bodied blend that delivers depth, balance, and a gradual transition of flavors—much like the song that inspired it. Wrapped in a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf, this cigar starts off smooth and creamy, but as you progress, the Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a rich filler blend of Nicaraguan, Pennsylvania, and undisclosed tobaccos bring darker, bolder notes into play.
 
Smokers can expect initial notes of cream, cedar, and toasted almonds, which evolve into a deeper complexity of earth, cocoa, spice, and subtle sweetness—symbolizing the shift from light to dark. This makes it an ideal pairing with Blackened Whiskey, enhancing the interplay of smoky, caramel, and vanilla undertones.
 
Available in Corona, Robusto, Double Corona, and Toro sizes, the S84 Shade to Black is for those who appreciate a cigar that tells a story—one of transition, depth, and raw emotion.
