Buzz has been going about with Willy Herrera and his release with Drew Estate. Needless to say, I am excited to try it. Has anyone here had another smoke blended by him? I have (the Cremo Classic was blended by him at El Titan de Bronze), and I loved it (which is why I joined the company). But I was wondering if anyone here had anything else, or anything at all for that matter, blended by him?
Favorite Willy Herrera smoke

I have a box of the Chinnock Cellars Terroir (or had, I'm down to 3). It was a good smoke, but nothing out of this world, IMO.
I've had one of the redemption maduro and sun grown habano and liked the maduro better. I have a couple more of each that I am looking forward to smoking before I make my final judgement, but so far I thought they were decent smokes, not as good as the Herrera Esteli though.
Willy blended the Casa Miranda for Miami Cigars - a fantastic cigar I highly recommend. I also enjoyed Chinnock Cellars' Terrior. Have heard about but not tried the Cremo Maduro. Very excited for Herrera Esteli to make its way to B&Ms across the country. The samples have been fantastic, that's for sure.
+1 on the ETB SG and Casa Miranda. Dont know whether the 13th Floor Foundation series was blended by Herrera (rolled by ETB) but it's a damn fine stick. I am eying a bundle of Bonita's 18th Anniversary Blend as a next buy. Also like to try the Sudeste Cubano, if any left.

Isn't everyone?
I know it wasn't fully his work, but the Goldie was faptastic! Great balance and unbelievable flavors.
I love the Casa Miranda. One of my favorites at that price point. Ran into David from dre estates and he was kind enough to give me a Herrera Estelli and I can't wait to try it. Especially if its as good as the Casa Miranda
FWIW and entirely IMO - the Herrera Esteli is dramatically different smoking experience between the larger rings and the smaller rings so I suggest you give a Toro and the Lonsdale a try when sampling. Personally I love the smaller girthed Lonsdale Extra and Short Corona Gorda.

I just got a few of his other smokes today. Going to let them rest after their cold travels. I loved what Willy did in making the Cremo Classic, so I figured I would see what people thought of his other stuff. Now, I get to try it.
