Blackened S84 Shade to Black by Drew Estate Corona Doble Cigars
After shaking up the cigar world with the wildly successful Blackened M81, Jonathan Drew, Metallica frontman James Hetfield, and Blackened Whiskey’s Rob Dietrich are back with round two: Blackened S84 Shade to Black Corona Doble. This one dials back the aggression while keeping the soul of the blend intact. “S” for the shade-grown wrapper. “84” for the year Metallica dropped Fade to Black. You get the idea—this is still rock and roll, just smoother, silkier, and meant for those who prefer the lounge to the mosh pit.
Crafted at Drew Estate’s La Gran Fabrica in Nicaragua, the S84 blend includes bold Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania maduro fillers, a Connecticut Broadleaf binder, and a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut shade-grown wrapper. The result is balanced power—medium-bodied, complex, and deeply flavorful. It’s still a concert, but you’re in the VIP section this time.
The sleek white boxes, minimalist black bands, and gold-accented “S84” foot band make it feel premium from the first glance. Light up, and you’ll be hit with white pepper, oak, and earthy tobacco right away. As the smoke deepens, coffee, dark chocolate, red pepper, and even a touch of cream and citrus emerge. It finishes crisp, clean, and satisfying—thanks in part to the smooth draw and impeccable construction. The 7" x 50 corona doble vitola ensures you have the time to enjoy every note in this performance. A must-smoke for fans of Blackened or anyone ready to explore a more refined side of infused cigars.
Though the Blackened series is obviously aimed at more experienced enthusiasts, S84 is certainly appropriate for a wider range of cigar freaks. Those who want a ton of flavor without the heavy, spicy background will find this stick to be quite a refreshing addition to the line. Pair it with your favorite whiskey or beer or enjoy it alongside a hot cup of espresso—there are no rules with this one! Fans of flavorful Connecticut cigars such as Camacho Connecticut or Padron Damaso should definitely give this one a try, as let’s be honest, it’s tough to find a cigar where “Connecticut” and “flavor bomb” can be used at the same time. As Metallica legend James Hetfield said, “’Shade to Black’ is more than just a cigar for us, it’s a celebration of passion and a tribute to the craftsman who strives for excellence in their lives.” With a proclamation like that from a true rock and roll icon, we needn’t say more! Grab a S84 Shade to Black Corona Doble and enjoy the true flavor of heavy metal, hardcore craftsmanship, and balls-to-the-wall innovation!
