The UZI story began on the very first final consumer blending session at the Joya de Nicaragua factory during a Cigar Safari tour.  After conducting blending sessions for the previous three years at their own factory, the Drew Estate team was amped up to extend the concept to Joya de Nicaragua. Working together the team finally reached the perfect blend and called it "The Uzi." When Jonathan Drew went back to the factory to pick up a 50-stick bundle, he exclaimed, "Damn, My UZIs Weigh a Ton!" and the brand was officially born.

The "My Uzi Weighs a Ton" blend consists of a San Andreas maduro wrapper from Mexico - a rich, super flavorful leaf with a raw earthy finish and a touch of bittersweet chocolate - which conceals a special Connecticut Capote binder on top of Nicaraguan and Brazilia Mata Fina long fillers. Complex from head to foot, you can expect thick smoke with an effortless draw as these enormous cigars all have a 60 ring gauge. Expect ample complexity with a savory finish!



WRAPPER: San Andreas Negro
BINDER: Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade
FILLER: Brazilian Mata Fina
STRENGTH: Medium to Full Bodied
