Blackened by Drew Estate M81 Cigars is the result of a unique creative collaboration between Drew Estate, Metallica front man James Hetfield, and BLACKENED Whiskey master distiller Rob Dietrich. What began as a shared passion for bold flavor and craftsmanship evolved into a premium cigar line built around deep, dark richness and a modern, unapologetic edge. The M81 blend—named after Metallica’s 1981 founding year—uses an all-Maduro recipe selected through hands-on tasting and refinement by all three partners. Designed to showcase power, balance, and complexity, Blackened M81 has quickly gained a dedicated following for its heavy, earthy profile and its distinct connection to music, artistry, and American cigar culture.
The Blackened by Drew Estate M81 Corona delivers a rich,
slow-building profile crafted through the collaboration of Drew
Estate, James Hetfield, and Rob Dietrich. This corona format
concentrates the blend’s deep Maduro character, bringing forward
earthy sweetness, dark cocoa, espresso, and a smoky edge that
nods to the project’s heavy-metal inspiration. Balanced yet bold,
it’s a size that lets the flavors unfold gradually while
maintaining a clean, satisfying finish—perfect for smokers who
prefer intensity without overwhelming strength.
