德鲁庄园公司出品的埃雷拉埃斯特利迈阿密(Herrera Esteli Miami)系列曾经只在区域市场销售,如今已经扩展到全美市场。2016年迈阿密系列推出的时候,是作为埃雷拉埃斯特利的分支品牌亮相的,当时只有一个尺寸,大皇冠,48环径,5.75英寸。
2018年,德鲁庄园公司重新规划并推出了迈阿密系列,作为一个常规生产线,烟叶混合保持不变,茄衣是厄瓜多尔烟叶,茄套是厄瓜多尔烟叶,茄套、茄芯是尼加拉瓜、多米尼加的混合烟叶。迈阿密系列参加了当年的国际高级雪茄和烟斗零售商贸易展。
如今迈阿密系列有五个尺寸,特制公牛(Toro Especial),52环径,6英寸。大罗布图(Robusto Grande),50环径,5英寸。金字塔(Piramide Fino),54环径,6.5英寸。奢华朗斯代尔(Lonsdale Deluxe),44环径,6.5英寸。加大短皇冠(Short Corona Gorda),48环径,5.75英寸。这个系列的雪茄售价从每支9.8美元到12.75美元不等。
当初的埃雷拉埃斯特利品牌雪茄是在尼加拉瓜的德鲁庄园大雪茄厂卷制的,如今迈阿密系列是在迈阿密的青铜泰坦雪茄厂卷制的,这是一家小型雪茄厂。
埃雷拉埃斯特利系列雪茄的烟叶混合是由德鲁庄园公司的首席烟草调配师威利·埃雷拉(Willy Herrera)研发。这个系列的命名,点明了烟叶混合研发者、烟叶产地、生产地。
Once only available in select markets, Drew Estate’s Herrera Esteli Miami is now shipping to cigar stores nationwide. The brand debuted in 2016 as a limited-edition offshoot of the original Herrera Esteli and was available in only one size, a 5 3/4 inches by 48 ring gauge corona gorda.
At the 2018 International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers trade show, Drew Estate repackaged and relaunched Herrera Esteli Miami as a regular-production brand with the same blend as the original—Ecuadoran wrapper and binder leaf with filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
The cigar line was expanded to five sizes: Toro Especial, at 6 inches by 52 ring gauge; Robusto Grande, at 5 by 50; Piramide Fino; 6 1/2 by 54; Lonsdale Deluxe; 6 1/2 by 44; and Short Corona Gorda, at 5 3/4 by 48. The cigars are priced $9.80 to $12.75.
Unlike the original Herrera Esteli line, which is made in Nicaragua at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate, Herrera Esteli Miami is made in the United States at the small El Titan de Bronze factory in Miami.
Both the original Herrera Esteli and the Esteli Miami were created by Drew Estate master blender Willy Herrera.
