Handmade at the La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Drew Estate Factory Smokes’ Claro Shade grown wrapper features an Indonesian binder and filler. Whether you’re admiring your freshly mowed lawn, enjoying a Saturday BBQ, or just chilling with friends, the Drew Estate Factory Smokes is the priced-right cigar that’s perfect anytime.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
Strength

Medium
Wrapper Color
Claro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Claro wrapper is light, yellowish brown in color.
Wrapper
Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
Binder
Indonesia
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Tobacco is grown in many islands of the Archipelago but, as far as cigars are concerned, Sumatra and Java are the ones. Sumatra Wrappers are worldwide known. Central Java (Vorstenland) and East Java (Besuki) give fillers and wrappers in abundance. Indonesia is a key country for cigar tobacco.
Filler
Indonesia
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
Drew Estate
Drew Estate was founded in 1998 by New Yorkers and friends Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel. Their dream to make great cigars has turned into one of the best success stories in the industry, and their factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, called "La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate" is today one of the five largest premium cigar factories in the world.

For what we’re paying for them they’re great. I cant really nit pick slightly, sometimes uneven burn not that bad really. Little bit of wrapper may come lose?? so what. Ill grab a bundle. If nothing else but to fill out the humidor. Price point ?? great

david d.10/21/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

OK cigar, nothing spectacular...

Drew Estates Factory Smokes Shade Churchhill is a very nice smoking cigar really enjoyed it with morning coffee.

Raphael C.08/14/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Good for the price.

good for every day smoking

scott w.08/01/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Very light, grassy and enjoyable in the morning.

Wade M.07/15/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Still get what you pay for. Way better than the Maduro. Bit of pepper on the start. Disappears into washed out dull ceder which remains thru the rest of the smoke. Construction was poor.

Wmayban M.07/04/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

Its okay

Ian C.04/10/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Great budget smokes for the money!

Kasey L.04/06/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

very easy smoke

Tom C.03/26/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

I wanted very much for this cigar to be a good buy. I purchased a bundle based on reviews here, and online. Unfortunately, this was a complete disappointment. Placing them in my humidor, they looked like a well-made cigar. After smoking several of them, I cannot recommend this cigar for any reason. The burn is very uneven, the ash is very flaky making this a very messy cigar, and you need to constantly puff of it to stay lit. I could tell by lightly squeezing the cigar between my fingers that these cigars are poorly made, with gaps in the binder tobacco. I smoked (or at least started 7 of the 25 bundle), but threw away the remaining 18 cigars. Smoking these makes for a very unpleasant cigar experience. Don’t waste your money as these cigars are not worth purchasing at any price.

Mahmoud N.02/14/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Shade is my favorite from the Factory Smokes cigars. Highly recommend.

Mahmoud N.02/14/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

Fantastic cigar for the price and probably my favorite from Factory Smokes.

Mahmoud N.02/14/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Easily one of the best cheap smokes I've had. Very creamy and nutty and extremely light in strength for those who don't like full or medium cigars.

aaron02/13/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Great value

Bill M.02/07/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

Mahmoud N.01/01/2024About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

This cigar is probably my favorite of my budget smokes. It is great for the price and makes you feel like you're smoking a cigar 4x its actual price. If you want a daily smoke on a budget, this is it right here.

Adam H.12/16/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Great

Michael F.11/23/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

The 2nd third is great, the first doesn't taste the best and the the last starts to fall apart. For $2 a stick though, it is a solid everyday smoke.

Johnathan R.11/20/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Great smoke

Matthew R.11/07/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Craig M.10/18/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

I find they need a bit of humidor time as they can burn a bit slow.

janet k.10/09/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

A great mild great tasting cigar. Love the length.

Marcus S.10/05/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

chrisitan c.09/12/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

For the price this is a great cigar, definitely worth buying a dozen or so to have for guest and friends. Smokes better than many $5-$8 price cigars. Draw was excellent.

Alex B.09/06/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

the wholesale of cigars, not good not bad, just that. 6.5 out of 10.

Great cigar. A everyday stick. Excellent with a coffee in the morning, or, anytime you want a smoke. Just buy them and find out.

Faisal J.08/07/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

What a amazing smoke. Every time I light one up as cowboy with black coffee and honey after long day work for me there's no aftertaste in my mouth. Thanks for great price in great cigar.

Michael B.06/12/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

Quite a good cigar despite the budget price point. Nice smooth flavor, very even burn, and a good amount of smoke.

John C.06/11/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

I smoke these everyday, great budget friendly cigar, highly recommended.

JOSEPH K.05/23/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

I'm blown away by the quality of these cigars! Wrappers have been flawless, no holes or stems, draw is smooth and even, and ever cigar in the bundle was consistent. Just ordered a second bundle. If you're looking for a quality "budget" cigar, look no further.

Yu Chung H.05/13/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Not bad everyday cigar

Mario T.05/02/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

Excellent budget smoke - do not hesitate!

mark v.05/01/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

This was a fast burning and unevenly burning stick. It was nice in appearance but had a very weak and off flavor. I know these are a budget stick but I'll stick to the maduros going forward.

james j.05/01/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Great cigars as always !

Devin H.04/28/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

For the price, these sticks perfection. 1.80ish a stick and these things pack so much into that. I get some medium roast coffee, and some caramels. Not much pepper, but was expected from a shade. I will be ordering this again to use as a filler in my smoking so I'm not smoking my wallet away. I would recommend these to anyone and everyone

John S.04/21/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

My favorite everyday smoke

Best value for a budget stick

Taiyoung A.03/18/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

My goto budget smokes. A little air in the draw. Some burn unevenly. Affordable good smoke.

Kyle G.03/17/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Good cheap smokes for when you don't want to burn through the super good stuff.

Martin S.03/03/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Good cigar

John C.03/01/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

Great everyday smoke. Not a premium cigar, but not bad at all.

Taiyoung A.02/21/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

I’m rating this cigar bias to it’s economical affordability. No complaints about it’s draw, even burn, and fine smoke.

Roberto A. M.02/18/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Good 95% of them but there is always 1 or 2 that don’t burn right or hard to draw

D Richard H.02/17/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

These are THE $2.00 smokes. Outdoes all other bundles at the price. Easy to clip and burn relatively straight. Aroma and flavor are well-beyond good-enough. To my experience these are far better than the others. I'm going to try the Madoro wraper and see how. Good smoke every day.

02/17/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

It's ok

Darrin G.02/02/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

Very easy cigar

A Ellis V.01/10/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

A good smoke for when I want a cigar but won't be able to fully enjoy it. I usually take the wrapper off - a good prop that can scratch an itch without going all in. Good value.

Jesse H.01/09/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

A reliable everyday smoke. Good draw, good burn, consistent enjoyable flavor. Makes that morning cup of java more special when paired together. This shade blend also goes well with a light champagne.

Seth B.01/08/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

I'm a fan of Connecticuts, and I've had my share of less-than-great ones, but these aren't too bad. You can definitely find much better at just a little higher cost, but if you're just jumping in, or on a very tight budget, you could do a lot worse than these.

michael n.01/05/2023About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Jeff S.10/17/2022About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Three stars for the burn as it seems it loosely wrapped. It burns way to quick. Not quite as a quick as a cigarette but pretty quick

Alan B.09/29/2022About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Cigar was enjoyable and burned very well considering the price point. Flavor profile was simple, with some spice and very clean tobacco taste. A good "throwaway stick" to have when out and about, at the beach, or pool party where your cigar might get damaged by water and you need to throw it out. Will purchase a handful to keep in humidor

Neil H.09/21/2022About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

Nice consistent smoke. Burns clean and even

Antonio P.09/20/2022About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Strictly thinking in terms of $2 per cigar... wow. Very clean cigar. Has a light taste but you can hardly smell the smoke so it's relatively safe to smoke in your apartment. Honestly, this is a better smoke than a couple AJ Fernandez cigars I had in the past week. I'm impressed with this cigar for the price.

Gilles M.09/20/2022About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

There was a nice cedar flavor that had a mix of orange and graham cracker at the very start of the cigar. As I proceeded, a more buttery note contributed a nice creaminess to the cigar. The finish produces a very pleasant mixture of butter, baking spices, cedar and a hint of orange. Nice draw that remained consistent. I used a straight cut and the cigar produced a fair amount of smoke which never varied. Easy to smoke throughout.

Cigars were given as gifts to party goers and those who smoked cigar right away gave good reviews. Therefore I was very satisfied with the product. Will recommend to others....

GEORGE W.07/14/2022About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

A good smoke for the cost conscious. Fairly consistent throughout the bundle, some canoeing and tunneling but overall a decent stick for the price.

Carrie E Sifuentes07/08/2022About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

Emil K.12/14/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

For this price range, this is the best you can get.

Mark S.12/12/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

My every day smoke. Great smoke for the price. I haven't found anything better at this price point. Consistent burn, nice flavor, and great draw

James M.12/11/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

This is a smooth burning, easy draw cigar.

Tony E.11/28/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

Okay cigar, but great for the price. Construction is questionable and all of the factory smokes give me a headache.

David T.11/24/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Great daily cigar

James L.11/16/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Not a bad cigar. Drew Estate has a very good reputation and these factory smokes are a good indication of their product quality.

Cal O.11/08/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

I’m a big fan of Factory Smokes, working my way through all the different sizes and wrappers. This one is a little larger than I prefer, but the flavor, draw, and overall construction is just excellent.

Scott W.11/04/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Decent Connecticut flavors of grassy/hay and mild wordiness. Nothing complex as this is an everyday cheaper stick to enjoy without guilt to the wallet.

Chris A.10/27/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

Excellent stick for an everyday smoke. Mild flavor. My only complaint is that more often than not it doesn’t burn evenly and the wrapper tends to detach.

Kazuki W.10/21/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

smells very nice good taste a really good budget option for everyday cigar

I'm a big fan of Factory Smokes, working my way through all the options. This was pretty mild, lacked much character, and canoed pretty badly. Maybe worth a second chance.

Chris W.09/19/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

I thought I would try these cheaper cigars to see if I could get along with them and I was very surprised with the quality.

Matthew S.08/24/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

I'm a huge fan of the Undercrown series, but when you smoke quite a bit, the price adds up. These are fantastic cigars for the price and will definitely pick them up again in the future to mix things up.

Ryan A.08/19/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

Forse the price a decent family smoke

Joseph W.08/18/2021About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

I always buy these as a go to daily budget smoke. They're perfect for that. Quality control is usually pretty good. I rarely have a bad one in a bundle. You can't beat them for the price.

Ranjan S.09/14/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

This was, surprisingly, a disappointment, since I enjoyed the Factory Smoke Sweet so much. Very much like the Sweet, it is a well made and firm cigar, and it too stays firm right to the end. That is, however, all that it has in common with the Sweet. There is no discernable aroma, and just a bland tobacco taste. Perhaps it's just me; I am new to this hobby, cigar smoking, so my taste buds haven't had the time to have a decent education about cigar flavours. I'll give it some time before trying it again, but for the time being, it's a no for me.

Robert S.09/08/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

Very good

Kent C.07/31/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

You ain't going to fool anyone with this one. No fancy label here, just a straight shot of honesty. 'Factory Smokes" say's it all. I have been smoking these Factories for a year or so, but this is the first time I've tried the "Robusto". I have also been searching for a short smoke for those times when I've not got the time to spend on a longer smoke. Had some disappointments, but finally, I think this one might be the cigar I was searching for. Short smoke, maybe twenty-five minutes, and certainly affordable. Don't be fooled by the bundle price, this one's worth every cent. And to top it off, if you haven't got that much time, you won't mind snubbing it halfway through either. Nice little cigar, think I'll order another bundle soon

Clyde G.07/20/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

John E.04/17/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

A fair cigar but certainly not my favorite. For a one-a-day smoke, it's better than nothing, but I prefer to spend slightly more tightly packed cigar. I found this cigar's head tended to fall apart easier than other's I have smoked.

Chris M.04/15/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

I've sampled all the Factory Smokes and for $2 I can't think of a better deal. Impressive flavor and aromatics, easy draw and good smoke output for just $2. Not bad!

Robin C.04/12/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Good value/money! For sure to re-purchase

Kent C.03/31/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

While I'd like to smoke one of my Ligations Undercrown's everyday, it's just not an affordable option. In light of that, I have been exploring some more affordable daily smokes. While browsing bundles, I came across this one. A "Factory Smoke" from Drew Estates. I am impressed. As Drew Estates is a quality brand, I should have guessed that this cigar would be just what I was looking for in a daily. It will not be the last time I order these, in fact, I'm planning to order a bundle for a friend as a gift. We both enjoy a quality/affordable daily cigar.

Kenneth J.03/18/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

A good every day cigar. Short filler, a little loose but consistent draw, and some burn unevenly. Overall a good stick for the price.

Mark L.02/04/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

a couple of them were a little too dry, but these are still a good smoke at a great price

Lance H.01/29/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Enjoyable mild Connecticut wrapped cigar. notes of sweet tobacco, mild cream, and pepper. Good to just puff on while working.

Dominick l.01/25/2020About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Great everyday stick. Have to keep a bundle in the humidor

Brian B.12/23/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Not bad for a 2 buck cigar.Mild,little sweetness, good burn.Drew is usually good no matter the cost.Much better than expected for the price.

Tj C.12/19/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

My fav of the factory smokes line, but that isn't saying too much. There are better budget sticks imo.

Sharay Bennett12/18/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

The draw on this cigar was pretty loose, but I didn't mind that. It just meant I wouldn't have to work too hard to draw from it. I loved the aroma and taste. A pretty good shade flavor. I plan to buy more of these.

Alex P.12/16/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

Like this factory smoke. The taste is amazing.

Gaylord W.08/13/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

The draw is way too loose for what I like and I’d rather buy a Oliva maduro for just a little more.

HECTOR G.08/09/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Great smoke for the price! Screams rustic.

Jeffrey C.08/06/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

OK for a budget cigar. They do tend to unwrap.

Greg K.07/19/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Dang good cigar for $1.60. If your expecting perfection, you won't get that with an under $2 dollar cigar. The price point is right and a good stick. Will definitely being buying more.

Rolando G.07/12/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Churchill 7" * 50

Mark L.06/11/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

It was not easy getting an accurate evaluation of this cigar because the two I purchased were very dry and started to crack as soon as I lit them

Mike P.05/23/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

I found it to be "ok." It's not luxury, it's not vintage, but it'll do for like an ordinary smoke while cutting the grass or cooking on the grill. Construction is average (definitely not a Liga Privada) and taste was good for the first 2/3rd's but then became a bit bitter towards end.

JIm S.05/20/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Gordito 6" * 60

Ok cigar for the price

Ben W.04/15/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Nick C.02/19/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

I was blown away by these! A fantastic option for a budget smoke, and they've even made their way into my normal smoking rotation. Don't let the price scare you, they're great cigars! Flavors, burn, construction-all the type of quality you'd expect from Drew Estate

Michael S.01/14/2019About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

Good stick. Has a weird taste about halfway down.

Tonio D.12/11/2018About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

The price was so low for this bundle that I had some concerns that they might be short filler (or at the very least Cuban sandwich style). I was pleasantly surprised to discover that not only were they long filler but the taste was very similar to the Connecticut Shade cigars which cost MUCH more. The only drawback (so to speak) was that they were not very dense, which lead to an almost too good draw and burned the cigar through pretty quickly. All in, I would buy these again (as well as recommending them to someone looking for an affordable every day smoke). - Tonio D.

Scott L.11/15/2018About: Factory Smokes Shade Robusto 5" * 54

Like the Toro size of the DE Factory Shade offering, I feel these aren't very well rolled (they're extremely soft), and the filler used tends to produce too many "floaters" in my mouth after using a Colibri deep "V" cut, and the flavor and aroma is not at all what you would expect from Drew Estate. I wanted to love these, but probably won't order them again.

Scott L.11/15/2018About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52

I was probably expecting too much from a cigar that sells for just over a buck a stick. But with the Drew Estate name on it, I just honestly feel these cigars should taste a lot better than they do, and be more consistent in how they are rolled. I use a Colibri deep "V" cut on most of my cigars, and these cigars never failed to give me a mouthful of loose cuttings from the filler used. I don't honestly think I'll order these again. I wanted to love them, I just can't.

Beau B.11/13/2018About: Factory Smokes Shade Toro 6" * 52
