Jonathan Drew at Famous Smoke Shop Cigar Expo 2008
www.famous-smoke.com Taken at Famous Smoke Shop’s recent Cigar Expo & BBQ Bash 2008, Jonathan Drew, co-founder of Drew Estate Cigars, talks with Gary Korb about what’s new at Drew, including Cigar Safari (www.cigarsafari.com), a cigar expedition where cigar smokers will travel to Esteli to tour the tobacco farms and factory operations, while also learning about the history and culture of Nicaragua.
Cuz thats been done by 100s of companies already dude… Its tired and old. There are only so many ways to blend some leaves. This is different. Definitely not for everybody, and there will be plenty like yourself who just don’t get it. Go get yourself a Cafe Con Leche and pour a nice capacino, or Patron XO Cafe and enjoy the burn. Give it a shot, if you enjoy stogies you’ll love it
Again, why can’t you let the tobacco speak for itself?
He doesn’t just Flavor Cigars man… Anybody can do that… Drew takes Premium Tobaccos and blends them and in the curing process they infuse them. Infusing is different than just adding flavor… Its subtlety is his true craft. Smoke a Natural Root or the Tabak Especial he references here. Cafe Con Leche is SO GOOD!
Referring to Popeful’s comment: If you were to have a nice Pizza, and you pick any style, u are still providing a flavor…but what really makes the pizza good is the crust!! is the flour used into, so cant cheap out on anything….therefore, it is NOT scary for the price at all, it is OBVIOUS its done with 1st class tobacco otherwise, they would be good!
When I’m not smoking a nice smooth Maduro; ISLA DEL SOL is my main fav Cigar to smoke for when I have a sweet tooth especially after a big meal.
Theres only one Acid I hate, a couple that are ‘okay’, the rest are fantastic. While I still enjoy other premium cigars, I really do prefer the Acids. Absolutely the best.
Doesn’t the price scare you? If you flavor everything that means you can get a cheaper tobacco. No wonder they’re so cheap. And even if you do get a good tobacco, why would you want to flavor it? Seems like a waste to me.
