Drew Estate is home to some of the most popular premium cigar blends on the planet.

This concept motivated both men to coin Drew Estate – “The Rebirth of Cigars”.

Unlike many other brands produced by a generational family of Cuban-born cigar makers, Drew Estate was founded by two frat brothers who in 1998 daringly opened a small 16-square foot retail cigar kiosk in the World Trade Center in NYC.

With such a unique and extensive catalog (including but not limited to the extremely popular ACID, Liga Privada, Undercrown, and Herrera Esteli lines), it’s no surprise that Drew Estate cigars has amassed a huge portfolio of top-rated brands that are unlike any other.

Along with using conventional Nicaraguan tobaccos that are all grown on their prestigious farms throughout the country, Drew Estate imports tobaccos from Kentucky, Syria, Brazil, Turkey, Louisiana, and other leaves often found in premium pipe tobaccos for some of their unique creations.
