The Story

The Collaboration

The collaboration began with James Hetfield and Rob Dietrich, who frequently enjoy cigars together after forming a close friendship through their work together on BLACKENED. Dietrich and Jonathan Drew, who’s friendship spans over a decade, always wanted to combine their talents to collaborate on something special. This seemed to be the perfect opportunity and became a passion project – bringing together three immensely talented and experienced cigar enthusiasts.

The Process

Samples from the Drew Estate portfolio were sent to Hetfield and Dietrich who kept cigar journals to critique the cigars and identify what they liked and disliked about each one. After two years of enjoying and sampling cigars together, the group decided on the exact flavor profile that would become BLACKENED Cigars “M81” by Drew Estate.
