The Drew Estate narrative is one of courage, heartbreak, and success, but most importantly, one of passion for cigars and the country of Nicaragua, where we have been producing cigars since 1996.

Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel are not your typical cigar producers; their journey does not begin in Cuba or with fathers in the cigar industry. Drew Estate began with a dream and has grown into one of the world's leading cigar manufacturers because to its can-do spirit and never-say-die mentality. The two New York fraternity brothers began with a little shop kiosk in the World Trade Centre, measuring only 16 square feet.

Jonathan Drew relocated to Esteli, Nicaragua in late 1998, hoping to begin a new chapter in the cigar industry. With a handful of rollers and an even smaller handful of money, the narrative of "That Crazy Gringo" began.
