HISTORY
What humbly started as a one-man retail kiosk in New York has grown to become one of the greatest success stories in any industry.
“The Rebirth of Cigars” is more than a corporate slogan; it is the Drew mantra. It reflects how they approach everything they do within the cigar industry, from their production techniques, branding, creative direction and even how they designed their factory. Drew always charts their own course and does things their way and never looks back. There is only one direction at Drew Estate, and that is forward.
The real art takes place on the factory floor at their Gran Fabrica in Estelí, Nicaragua, where over 135,000 handmade cigars are rolled daily following the classic, artisan Cuban handmade techniques of crafting cigars. Drew is ceaselessly experimenting with methodology and even the perception of what a cigar is supposed to be.
It is this willingness to experiment and open-minded approach that has enabled Drew to not only produce sought-after brands but also create entirely new segments within the premium cigar market.
UNDERCROWN MADURO
In early 2009 Drew Estate asked their torcedores to smoke fewer Liga Privada cigars because they were leaving too few to be exported. This request was met with the disappointment you would expect, but rather than being disgruntled, they responded by blending their own signature liga. Incorporating many of the same rare tobaccos, but of different vintages and primings, the cigar they created was no mere replacement, as from this Undercrown was born!
It is an exceptional smoking experience of uncompromising quality and flavour that deserves to be smoked by all.
Lush, smooth and creamy with a natural inherent sweetness, these cigars are refined and balanced with excellent depth.
