The Herrera Esteli Miami Smoke Inn 25th Anniversary The Raji was a bit of a rare miss for me. The first third was a fairly intense spicy and earth combination that I found worked. As the cigar progressed, the earth components took over and it became more earth forward which took away from the complexity and other flavors.
The Herrera Esteli Ho’ala Tienda Exclusiva is a 4 7/8” x 46 petite corona wrapped in a toothy Mexican San Andres capa, with undisclosed binder and filler leaves hand selected by Willy Herrera for their strength and exquisite taste. The Ho’ala was inspired by a trip to the island of Maui where Willy watched the sun rise over the clouds on top Haleakala Crater.
The Herrera Esteli TAA Exclusive is a 6 x 52 Toro features a rich Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, bold Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and lush Nicaraguan fillers. For 2020, the boxes have been re-designed to complement the other Herrera Esteli lines and also feature the bold red banding that signifies Willy Herrera’s exclusive projects.
The Herrera Estelí Miami Robusto Grande is an awesome cigar and it has a good amount of positive traits. The blend is complex, lots of depth from start to finish and there is transitioning present as well. I think this is one of the best blends Willy has done with Drew Estate, it is the best Herrera Estelí offering in my opinion, and I love that it is made in Miami.
The Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro Toro Especial is an interesting departure from the blend profile that makes up the original Herrera Esteli line. The overall smoking experience was good, and I'm eager to try this offering in another vitola format.
