Any update on the LP Undercrown Corona Viva?

[jesseboston81]

As far as I know, these were scheduled for release this month. Has anyone seen them anywhere or heard any update as to when they will be available? I'm really looking forward to this Undercrown vitola!

[Volusianator]

All I know is that they are freakin' delicious, my favorite of the line by far.

[LigaPrivadaT84]

I know I got money saved up for a box; haven't heard a release date yet.

Great stick, need a box when they come out!!!

[maninblack]

Good to see JD taking care of this. Stand up move.

[TJtorpedo]

Wow, I haven't heard of these. Are they an LE, or same blend but a different size?

[jesseboston81]

There are various reviewers who have smoked prerelease samples and can characterize the Corona Viva better, but to my understanding it's essentially the same blend as the rest of the Undercrown line, only tweaked to be just slightly stronger. I also believe they're going to be a regular release vitola that is added to the rest of the line.

That is all 100% correct :)

Does the name imply a corona sized vitola?

Yup. 5 5/8 x 46.

Now that gets me excited! I want some!....:dr

Same, I'm becoming more and more of a fan of RGs lower than 50, so I'm excited to try these when they release.

Excellent. Glad to see someone come out with a move towards a smaller ring guage.

X2. I have came to appreciate coronas in particular recently. Just a good size for my attention span and commute to town without trying to keep a hold of a ridiculous looking 60 RG.
I have really enjoyed the couple Undercrowns I have had so I will keep high hopes for these. :banger

[Brooks W]

Well, technically a Corona Gorda, but yes :) and they are excellent, if you thought the bigger sizes were missing something (as I did), this vitola found it :)

UNDERCROWN CORONA VIVA:


We shipped some boxes to Cigars International for the Cigar Fest. They are releasing them daily for a few days so they should have some boxes in stock.

Best,

[maninblack]

Thanks for the update Jonathan!

[jesseboston81]

I don't know about JD' response, but this I can state:

Earlier this week, I stopped by my local B&M, Valencia Cigars & News, and spoke to the owner Javier. I asked him when did he think that he was going to possibly receive the new Undercrown Corona Viva (he does carry the full line in the humi)? He said that he's never heard of this size, and further stated that the rep was just in yesterday and didn't mention anything.

So, with me standing there, he picked-up his cell phone and called the rep. After some going back and forth, the answer was this:

1 to 2 months Valencia Cigars and News "should" receive the new Corona Viva. "Should" is the key word folks. That could be June 12' or July 12' if Javier is lucky.

So, take a deep breath and relax:D

[MurphysLaw]

Just a heads up, Podmancigars.com has these in stock

[Jonathan Drew]

Some boxes definitely shipped out this week to stores spread out throughout the country.

Everyone who has the Iphone or Ipad can download the free Drew Estate APP and use the store finder to call a few places for availability. This really makes it easier to find DE products in your state or area.

Additionally, the Drew Estate APP has 9 categories on it that are pretty good, so check it check it out Ya'll ....!

Best,
JD

Smoked my first one last night and this size is a fantastic size for this blend. Smoked the damn thing down to a nub. This will be my go to size when smoking the Undercrown. Viva Undercrown! :D-(P

[maninblack]

Podman cigars has them in stock. And some good freebies also. Just a heads up.

[Partially Deaf]

[Superbad]

Had one on Saturday at a dinner with Jonathan Drew. Great cigar, I am liking the undercrowns.

[TJtorpedo]

The owner at my B&M brought a few pre-releases back from Drew Estates. They look great, and I was told that they come off stronger than the other vitolas.

It's such a great size, and I can't wait to get some.

Just Ordered, Tim! Thanks!:tu

[danreeve]

Just got back from Safari (awesome trip, more on that later) and smoked a ton of new and old stuff from DE. I have to say, even with everything else going on (and there is a ton of it trust me).. this still might be my favorite from DE.

Dan

[longknocker]

You Guys Are A Bad Influence!:r Just Ordered Another 5-er From Cigars At Your Price.:)

[never_enough]

Maybe there will be a few at the Drew Estate event next saturday at a B&M near by. I guess I should probably go and check it out.

[equetefue]

Bought a box this past week and they are definetely the best vitola of the line. Strengh is up there and creeps up on you.

[kelmac07]

I've put a 5er in the cart twice now and just can't seem to pull the triger. Was not very impressed with the Undercrown. I think I will wait on this one.
