Herrera Esteli Habano Robusto Grand Cigars | Selected by Cigar Aficionado 2021 #15 Cigar Of The Year – Rated 93
The Herrera Estelí Habano Robusto Grande stands as one of Drew Estate’s premier non-infused ultra-premium cigars, following in the footsteps of iconic lines like Liga Privada and MUWAT. What makes this blend even more special is its origin story—it was the very first creation by Willy Herrera, Drew Estate’s master blender who introduced a true Cuban influence to the factory. After joining the company, Jonathan Drew handed Herrera the keys to the tobacco inventory, a bench in Nicaragua, and only one instruction: create a “great cigar.” After nearly a year of tireless blending and dozens of discarded attempts, the result was Herrera Estelí Habano, a cigar that would go on to earn a spot on the Cigar Aficionado Top 25 in 2013 and eventually be celebrated around the world.
In 2021, Herrera Estelí Habano Robusto Grande earned an impressive 93 rating and was selected as the #15 Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado.
Built on a Nicaraguan filler blend with a Honduran binder and crowned with a flawless Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, the Robusto Grande (5 ¼” x 52) delivers everything aficionados love about Cuban-inspired cigars with Drew Estate’s signature richness. Each draw opens with creamy spice before unfolding into layers of pepper, cedar, raw tobacco, and earthy notes. Smooth yet bold, it sits firmly on the medium-to-full spectrum, never harsh but consistently flavorful.
With its seamless construction, firm pack, and effortless draw, the Robusto Grande is a work of art from start to finish. True Cuban-style packaging completes the experience, but it’s the depth of flavor that keeps connoisseurs coming back. Best paired with bourbon, scotch, or strong coffee, it’s a cigar that rewards a refined palate and isn’t designed for beginners. For a broader comparison, pair it with the Herrera Estelí Norteño and discover the full brilliance of Willy Herrera’s work. A Cuban at heart yet distinctly Drew Estate in execution, the Herrera Estelí Habano Robusto Grande is a must-have for any serious aficionado’s humidor.
