I get to start out my joblessness with just about the worst head cold I’ve had in a very long time. So here’s some news out of Drew Estate. I was surprised that Fabian announced his resignation. He was the face of Acid and Larutan (nee Natural) cigars and the voice of their podcast for the last few years, and MC’d the Barnsmokers. I didn’t know him well, but he seemed like a pretty cool dude. I’m not sure where a guy like him fits into the cigar world other than where he was, but I’m sure he has a plan. Maybe Alec Bradley made him an offer he couldn’t refuse ?. As far as the second item, I am a fan of the Deadwood line, and would certainly smoke this Gordito without hesitation.Â
