Agents also seized $5 million in funds related to a loan between House of Oxford and another major cigar company, Drew Estate. The documents don't say what the loan was for or if Drew Estates had any involvement in House of Oxfords' criminal activity.

Hmmmmm

Swisher has a "premium cigar division"?

I wonder how this is gonna shake out?

Appears Goldman and Drew Estate just cranked out the "Nirvana" line of cigars (http://drewestate.com/drew-estate-royal-gold-cigars-announce-nirvana-cigar/), maybe that had something to do with the loan?
This was supposed to be about circumventing California taxes, I'm thinking DE is based in Miami?

Maybe some of you guys can put two and two together, I'd like to find out who "customer number one" and "customer number two" are?

Amazing how this comes out all of the sudden when the FDA is trying to tell us how to live and ruin the cigar industry.

Drew Estate doesn't have any involvement in Alex's legal situation. The loan marker was likely seized as an asset of Goldman's.

Scott, you are correct, DE is not a California company all their shipments come from Miami.
