Story and Accolades:

Born from Drew Estate’s passion for celebrating Nicaragua’s deep tobacco heritage, the Nica Rustica Connecticut El Brujito pays tribute to the mystical origins of Nicaraguan tobacco, symbolized by the iconic “El Brujito” (the little wizard) petroglyph etched into the fields of Estelí. This cigar is a bold twist on the original Nica Rustica line, replacing the dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade that adds refinement without sacrificing character.

Despite its lighter hue, this cigar stays true to its roots—offering the same rugged soul and working-class grit with a smoother, creamier delivery. It’s a Connecticut cigar for those who want more depth, complexity, and Nicaraguan spice than the traditional mellow stick.

Pairing:

Pair it with a wheated bourbon or a rich cold brew coffee to highlight the subtle sweetness and creamy spice. Perfect for those quiet evenings when you want a rustic yet refined experience.
