Metallica frontman James Hetfield is releasing another line of cigars.

Blackened “S84 Shade To Black” cigars by Drew Estate are ready to ship.

The Nicaraguan-made cigars, formed in partnership between Hetfield, Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate and Rob Dietrich of Blackened Whiskey, come in a white box, in stark contrast to the black box of Hetfield’s original Blackened cigar: Blackened Cigars “M81.”

Hetfield says the new ‘Shade to Black’ line is: “more than just a cigar for us, it’s a celebration of passion and a tribute to the craftsman who strives for excellence.”

The cigar comes in boxes of 20 in the same size lineup as “M81,” with prices ranging from $9.15 to $10.35 per cigar.

Unlike the original, which was only available to Drew Diplomat retailers, this new brand is being offered on a nationwide basis.
