BLACKENED S84 Shade to Black Toro is a 6 x 52 cigar created through the collaboration of Metallica's James Hetfield, BLACKENED master distiller Rob Dietrich, and Drew Estate founder Jonathan Drew. Handmade in Nicaragua, S84 combines an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper with a dark Maduro core for a different interpretation of the original BLACKENED M81 blend.
Beneath the light Connecticut Shade wrapper is a Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf Maduro binder surrounding Nicaraguan Maduro and Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro filler tobaccos. Drew Estate describes S84 as medium-bodied, combining the smoother character of its shade wrapper with the richer Maduro tobaccos underneath.
