News | Drew Estate Rumor Mill
As we have heard over the last couple of weeks via a posting on BOTL.org and The Cigar Nut there is a rumor of Drew Estate heading to Swisher International. This rumor has begun to pick up steam lately.
Last week we heard a faction from Swisher was at the factory, and now The Cigar Authority has learned that Alex Goldman’s team was at the factory in Nicaragua yesterday. What does this mean? Only time will tell, but the rumor mill is in full swing and one has to wonder when/if this one will become fact.
Stay tuned to TheCigarAuthority.com for more on this as it develops.
I would be stunned if Jon sold the house with his name on it. So much more than others because its scope and success, to sell out such a labor of love for him, something he’s put so much into and has seen grow into the powerhouse that it is…I don’t see it. Jonathan Drew is NOT Moe Green; he’s Michael Corleone. YOU don’t buy him out—HE buys YOU out.
This is bogus! These rumors are untrue! The Cigar Nut has already posted a follow up apologizing to Jon Drew because he(Johnathan Drew) came out the same day saying these rumors were far from the truth, instantly contacting the team at Cigar Nut and confirming this. The only reason Goldman’s team would be at the factory would be because he has the Nirvana made their. I wouldn’t be surprised if DE saw this post and got angry about it because they were very upset about The Cigar Nut post;

Charlie- these rumors may not be untrue. Many of our industry sources are stating its a done deal. However we won’t report it as such until an official press release
TheCigarAuthority Jon Drew has already denied these allegations and said that he will never sell the company. He also said that he would never sell a portion of the company to a big boy. If you read his press release denying this, you will then understand how bs these claims are. DE makes cigars for Swisher Int. but I can tell you that this is as far from a done deal as it can get.
Charlie86 Actually if you read his comments there was never a flat out denial.
His statements were If someday we take a major partner or sell DE, I will tell CATS
immediately, Myself.
and
If DE were to ever sell, I will be there the way Fred Noe (Beam)
watches over Jim Beam because I love my company and will never let
anything happen to our quality – ever.
What that says to me is when DE is sold, JD will stay on in some role for a period of time. As I said in the article, only time will tell.
JD never said, “These rumors are false”.
He did say the rumors are false, as soon as the Cigar Nut post happened my buddy from CigarFederation talked to him about it and he did personally deny these statements. I guarantee these are just “rumors”, DE is not in the process of selling the company and like you said only time will tell…
