Kentucky Fire Cured Swamp Rat is a distinctive 6 x 46 cigar from Drew Estate that combines two dramatically different wrapper styles: green Candela and smoky fire-cured tobacco. Handmade in Nicaragua, Swamp Rat was created as part of the MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured family and offers a unique contrast between the grassy character of Candela and the richer character of fire-cured leaf.
The majority of the cigar is covered in a green Candela wrapper, while the upper section transitions to a dark fire-cured wrapper near the head. Drew Estate introduced the Swamp concept in 2016 before nationwide shipments began in 2017. The unusual dual-wrapper construction distinguishes Swamp Rat from the standard Kentucky Fire Cured lineup.
