Story and Accolades:

A powerhouse tribute to the raw beauty and spirit of Estelí, the Nica Rustica Belly Belicoso is a bold expression of Drew Estate’s dedication to traditional Nicaraguan craftsmanship. Featuring a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper and robust fillers from Nicaragua’s prime growing regions, this cigar embodies the grit and heart of the Nicaraguan people.

The name “Belly” refers to the generous size and full-bodied nature of the cigar, while the belicoso shape adds a refined touch to its otherwise rustic soul. The “El Brujito” emblem on the band stands as a proud nod to the region’s ancient tobacco legacy—this cigar doesn’t just smoke, it tells a story. Originally introduced as part of Drew Estate’s grassroots-focused Nica Rustica line, the Belly offers complexity and strength in a format meant for those who crave authentic, unapologetic flavor.

Pairing:

Pair with a bold, peaty Scotch or a stout craft beer to complement the cigar’s earthy richness and Maduro sweetness. Ideal for experienced smokers seeking an evening of deep, contemplative indulgence.
