WELCOME TO DREW ESTATE

The Rebirth of Cigars.

Drew Estate started in the mid-1990s with a 16-square-foot cigar kiosk in the World Trade Center, run by founder Jonathan Drew Sann and his fraternity brother Marvin Samel. After Hurricane Mitch wiped out their supply chain and left the company near bankruptcy, Jonathan moved to Estelí, Nicaragua in the fall of 1998 and opened Drew Estate's first factory with six rollers and no electricity. That gamble reshaped an industry. Today Drew Estate rolls its cigars at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate — the largest premium cigar factory in Nicaragua and one of the largest in the world — and its portfolio spans Liga Privada, Undercrown, ACID, Herrera Esteli, Nica Rustica, Deadwood Tobacco Co., Kentucky Fire Cured, Tabak Especial, Blackened, Factory Smokes, and more. Beyond the leaf, they built a culture: Barn Smokers, Family Reunion, and Tour de Liga turned cigar smoking into a community instead of a transaction. Thirty years in, they're still expanding — Drew Dominicana, a new factory and farm in the Dominican Republic, arrives in early 2027.
