The Blackened M81 Flying Pig by Drew Estate is an audacious creation born from the minds of James Hetfield of Metallica, Rob Dietrich, Master Distiller of Blackened Whiskey, and Jonathan Drew, founder of Drew Estate. Handcrafted at La Gran Fábrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua, this compact 4” x 60 perfecto, complete with its signature pig-tail cap, embodies the spirit of intensity, creativity, and craftsmanship shared by its creators.

Wrapped in a thick, oily Mexican San Andrés maduro leaf, the M81 is built over a bold Connecticut Broadleaf binder and filled with a potent blend of Nicaraguan and Pennsylvania Broadleaf tobaccos, including Drew Estate’s strongest Pennsylvania ligero. The result is a full-bodied masterpiece layered with espresso, dark chocolate, charred oak, leather, and earthy spice, creating a slow-burning experience that’s dark, gritty, and unapologetically powerful.

The Flying Pig vitola intensifies the blend’s complexity, producing dense, aromatic smoke that saturates the palate with each draw. Presented in elegant black and copper-accented boxes of 20, the Blackened M81 Flying Pig is a must-own for those who crave depth, strength, and artistry in every cigar.

Dark, rich, and musically inspired, the Blackened M81 Flying Pig delivers a performance as powerful as its creators, a cigar that’s built to be savored, not just smoked.
