During the course of the visit, I was gifted a pre-release of the Short Run 2016 which is scheduled to ship to retailers in early May. There are a few things new about this year’s release and the most noticeable is the band which is the first […]
Back in 2009, I recall sitting in a New York City Cigar Shop is a shoe shine chair with David Lafferty of Drew Estate. It was right around the time of a Cigar Aficionado function that might have been The Big Smoke or something entirely different. It was here that I was gifted with my first Dirty Rat. Over the years it feels like the Dirty Rat went from cult status to a cigar that […]

Living in New Hampshire, I have learned that New England weather is the definition of bi-polar. With the temperatures of 70 degrees yesterday and today, this weekend is bringing an arctic blast with some snow and high winds. […]
In January it was announced that early in Q2, Drew Estate would begin the sales and distribution of Debonaire cigars.
