Experience Drew Estate: The Rebirth of Cigars
At Boisdale’s online shop, we are delighted to showcase Drew Estate, one of the most innovative and dynamic names in modern cigar making. Founded in the heart of New York City and rooted in the rich soils of Estelí, Nicaragua, Drew Estate is celebrated for redefining cigar culture through creativity, craftsmanship, and bold flavour.
A Story of Passion and Innovation
Drew Estate was founded in 1996 by Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel, two friends driven by a shared dream to create cigars that would break conventions while honouring tradition. What began in a small kiosk in New York’s World Trade Center quickly evolved into one of the world’s most distinctive premium cigar brands.
In 1998, Drew moved production to Estelí, Nicaragua, where he built the now-legendary La Gran Fábrica Drew Estate — one of the largest and most advanced cigar factories in the world. From there, the company pioneered a new era of flavourful, artisanal cigars that captivated enthusiasts around the globe.
Tobacco and Craftsmanship
Drew Estate cigars are handcrafted using meticulously selected tobaccos sourced from Nicaragua, Honduras, and beyond. Each blend is aged and rolled under the supervision of expert torcedores, ensuring perfect construction and a distinctive character in every cigar.
The brand’s groundbreaking lines — from the aromatic Acid series to the rich and complex Liga Privada and Undercrown collections — reflect Drew Estate’s philosophy of combining artistry, innovation, and tradition.
Typical Tasting Notes
Drew Estate cigars are celebrated for their unique diversity of flavour and aroma. Expect:
-
Aromas of earth, espresso, and cocoa balanced by notes of spice, leather, and sweetness.
-
On the palate, layers of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, oak, and molasses with a creamy, resonant finish.
From the smooth and aromatic Acid Blondie to the bold, full-bodied Liga Privada No. 9, each cigar delivers a distinctive and memorable experience, crafted to suit both adventurous newcomers and seasoned aficionados.
Perfect Pairings
The expressive character of Drew Estate cigars pairs beautifully with both classic and creative choices:
