In early 2009 we asked our torcedores to smoke less Liga Privada cigars because they were leaving too few to be exported. This request was met with the disappointment you would expect, but rather than being disgruntled they responded by blending their own signature liga.
Incorporating many of the same rare tobaccos, but of different vintages and primings, the cigar they created was no mere replacement. Rather it is an exceptional smoking experience of uncompromising quality and flavor that deserves to be smoked by all.
It is always the master makers who are heralded, but the reality is that great cigars are the product of many talented people, most of whom toil in factories with no publicity ever. They are the uncelebrated heroes who make all of our lives more pleasurable with the cigars they craft. And therefore, it is with great pleasure that we are now sharing their factory floor creation with you as Undercrown, borne of our worker’s ingenuity, resourcefulness and passion for a great cigar.
What humbly started as a one man retail kiosk in New York has grown to become one of the greatest success stories in any industry. "The Rebirth of Cigars" is more than a corporate slogan, it is the Drew mantra. It reflects how they approach everything they do within the cigar industry from their production techniques, branding, creative direction and even how they designed their factory.
Drew always chart their own course and do things their way and never look back. There is only one direction at Drew Estate and that is forward. The real art takes place on the factory floor at their Gran Fabrica in Esteli, Nicaragua, where 135,000 handmade cigars are rolled daily following the classic, artesian Cuban handmade techniques of crafting cigars.
Drew are ceaselessly experimenting with methodology and even the perception of what a cigar is supposed to be. It is this willingness to experiment and open minded approach that has enabled Drew to not only produce sought after brands, but to create entirely new segments within the premium cigar market.
