Chateau Real is a smooth, mild to medium blend of Nicaraguan long fillers rolled with a Connecticut wrapper.

Drew Estate is best known for its premium infused blends that use exotic tobaccos and special oils to impart unique flavors into all of their cigars. With that in mind, Chateau Real is a slight departure for the Nicaraguan based cigar maker, using only premium long leaf tobacco to create a smooth and creamy cigar that has no infusion.

Blended to compete with the likes of Montecristo, Macanudo, Don Diego, Romeo y Julieta and a host of other well known national brands, Chateau Real adds the boutique touch to the most popular flavor profile in the United States. Notes of wood, cedar, light spices and bread are present on the palate with a toasty and moderate finish.

An extension to the original line, Chateau Real Maduro creates rich, leathery nuances and offers a slow; even burn with a perfect draw to create a medium-bodied blend worthy of bearing the Drew Estate name.

When originally released, Drew Estate cigars were sought after for their intense flavors and aromas created from an extensive, highly secretive infusion process, which still has yet to be replicated. Drew Estate still produces their famously infused, Acid brand cigars, but have progressed into creating more traditional blends, such as Liga Privada or Chateau Real. Regardless of style, Drew Estate is known for putting quality control first, utilizing only the finest tobaccos available, and creating blends that are completely unique from one another whether they are traditionally produced or made under the Acid flag.

Chateau Real Maduro is a smooth blend, but offers a hearty burst of leather and spice upon the initial light. The wrapper originates from the San Andres Valley in Mexico and is incredibly dark, sporting an oily sheen while producing rich notes of espresso and earth. This beautiful wrapper surrounds a balanced blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos, which add some spicy nuances to the cigar but create an overall, mellow experience. The finish is smooth and long, leaving sweet nuances on the palate that lend to an enjoyable aftertaste. This is another, traditionally made, top-notch cigar by Drew Estate.
