Finally, we have the Undercrown 10 Corona Doble. This luxurious 7x50 gem was created to celebrate 10 years of Undercrown.

Because these cigars were so good, the company decided to release them to the public, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The Undercrown 10 is rolled under the supervision of Drew Estate’s master blender Willy Herrera. It features a vintage Connecticut Broadleaf binder that is stuffed with expertly aged Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos. The whole thing is held together by a top-shelf San Andres Mexican wrapper leaf that showcases a hue of rich dark-chocolate brown.
The result of this cigar is a medium-to-full-bodied smoke that offers flavor notes of hot chocolate, dried fruit, espresso, wood, earth, and tons of black pepper. This is a beautiful looking cigar that is sure to look exquisite in your humidor.
