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.
TABAK ESPECIAL MEDIO
Drew Estate has taken the art of blending coffee and cigars to new heights. Slowly infusing rich tobaccos with the finest estate-grown coffees from the fertile mountains of Nicaragua, they have created a smoking experience that is pure tobacco velvet upon the palate with the perfect nuance of luscious espresso. The Medio features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over the finest Nicaraguan tobacco creating a smooth and sweet smoke.
“Tabak Especial is a really special cigar that I have worked on for over five years. Perfecting all of the nuances that we learned in the making of Kahlua Cigars Delicioso. We present our new Coffee Infused cigar, using the very finest Nicaraguan tobaccos and Nicaragua estate-grown coffee. Tabak Especial is truly a work of art that will appeal to even the most die-hard traditionalist – smooth and easy to enjoy!”
