Re: Drew Estate cancelling some of their cigars
So FSG line is still going to be produced but only distributed to Corona Cigar Company and their locations?

Re: Drew Estate cancelling some of their cigars
well, some will be disappointed but i've never been a huge connoisseur of the drew estates line but i do enjoy their FSG lines. making it exclusive to corona cigar doesn't really effect me so that's good but that may be bad for some others who won't be able to find them in their local B&M. God bless you all!

Re: Drew Estate cancelling some of their cigars
Not a surprise that Corona Cigar will still carry them... they own the farm land where the FSG tobacco is grown. This tobacco was originally re-introduced in 2012 (after something like a 50 year haitus) by Jeff Borysiewicz, Pres. & Founder, Corona Cigar Co. & FSG Tobacco Farm. Back then, FSG cigars were exclusive to Corona. It wasn't until 2016 when he partnered with DE for broader distribution.

The article reads like DE will still produce them but only distribute them to Corona Cigar Co.

Re: Drew Estate cancelling some of their cigars
That's exactly it. They're not stopping it, just making it exclusive. Getting FSG in Florida is easy but for many out in the rest of the country DE was the only FSG they could get ahold of short of ordering online now. They won't find it in their local B&M now. FSG is very good and unique in it's flavors. Very cubanesque to my palate

Re: Drew Estate cancelling some of their cigars
Man I'm out of touch, I didn't even know they rebranded the Natural line.

I was there in Esteli with a group when they handed all of us these prototype cigars to try. Jon Drew was talking about how the cigar was more densly rolled and the weight of the leaves, etc... when one of the guys, in a bad impersonation of Al Pacino's Scarface voice, blurted out a lyric from a rap(?) song. "My UZI, it weighs a TON..." And that's where the name came from. Jon loved it. ...and now it's done... I'm getting old. |

Re: Drew Estate cancelling some of their cigars
I always liked the MUWAT Baitfish as a short smoke, but haven't had one in a couple of years. I might need to grab some while they last.

I always thought MUWAT were good. It is just a stupid name so I always avoided them because of it. SUPER petty, I know. Packaging matters in some cases. All that said....for the right price, I may just take all the bands off :-) |

Re: Drew Estate cancelling some of their cigars
I smoked one though. It’s a shame I had to pay to find out what a crappy cigar it is.
