Nica Rustica Shade by Drew Estate Gordo (5x66) The Nica Rustica Shade by Drew Estate is a smooth, flavorful take on the fan-favorite Nica Rustica line. Wrapped in a silky Connecticut Shade leaf grown in Ecuador, this cigar dials back the intensity while still delivering that signature Nicaraguan punch.

Perfect for both seasoned smokers and those looking for a mellow yet flavorful smoke, Nica Rustica Shade is medium-bodied, easy-going, and full of character. Handmade in Estelí, Nicaragua, it’s a great everyday cigar that balances smoothness with complexity—an inviting new way to experience the bold tradition of Drew Estate.
