News: Drew Estate’s Flying Pigs Set for Spring Release

The site has been down for a couple days for maintenance, but I’m back and catching up! Here’s some news from Drew Estate. They aren’t going to mention it, but the FLying Pig vitola was Steve Saka’s idea when he was president of Drew Estate.  It’s a cool size, I have a few floating around one of my humidors someplace, maybe I’ll pull one out this weekend!

Drew Estate’s Flying Pigs have been cleared for take-off for their annual Spring release!!! One of Drew Estate’s most popular vitolas, the Flying Pigs (100mm x 60) are now available.… Continue reading »

Liga Privada H99, Villiger San D’Oro and Nica Rustica Adobe Cigars

Monday was Memorial Day and that called for some special smokes. I pulled out the Liga Privada H99 that Joe Gro of Drew Estate gave me back in January at the TPE show. I’m not sure why I had been waiting to smoke this, but I figured a nice afternoon off was a great time to light it up. … Continue reading »

News: Drew Estate Introduces Liga Privada H99 Phineas Gage Lancero

You know, I haven’t even smoked an H99 yet. I have one, just haven’t gotten around to smoking it yet. This cigar looks interesting, although I have no way of knowing how it might work in the lancero format. I can’t imagine Willie Herrera would make a bad cigar, let alone a bad lancero, so this must me OK. 

During last Thursday’s “Freestyle Live: Special Edition” broadcast, which aired from 7 to 9 p.m. Eastern on the company’s Facebook Live page (facebook.com/drewestatecigar) and YouTube channel (youtube.com/drewestatecigar), Drew Estate announced that it is adding a new vitola, a 7 x 40 Lancero, dubbed Phineas Gage, to its Liga Privada H99 Connecticut Corojo lineup. The taste and aroma of the Phineas Gage’s Connecticut Corojo Hybrid tobacco might just make you a changed person.… Continue reading »

News: Drew Estate Launches New Nica Rustica Expression – “Adobe”

I watched the Freestyle Live last night where they announced that the mystery cigars were the new Nica Rustica Adobe, and I was a little surprised, even though Kevin at CigarProp was confident that this was the case. I really didn’t like the Gordon, but the toro was much better. I’ll have to try the robusto, my sample had a noticeably darker wrapper. I love the original broadleaf version, I’ve often said that I’d happily by two of these (or more) to one Liga Privada. This is a nice line extension.

Drew Estate has revealed the secret identity of the mystery cigar inside its latest Freestyle Live Event Pack … the all-new Nica Rustica Adobe, the second expression in Drew Estate’s value-priced Nica Rustica line. Nica Rustica Adobe’s introduction happened during last night’s “Freestyle Live: Special Edition” broadcast, which aired from 7 to 9 p.m. Eastern on the company’s Facebook Live page (facebook.com/drewestatecigar) and YouTube channel (youtube.com/drewestatecigar).… Continue reading »

News: Limited Edition Herrera Estelí Lanceros Return As Diplomat Exclusive

Here’s some news from Drew Estate. There are some Herrera Esteli cigars I really like, and a few I’m not fond of, but the Lanceros are usually really good. I may still have a few hanging out in the humidor someplace, I have a whole mess of various lanceros for some reason.  Don’t forget to check out tomorrow night’s Freestyle Live event!
