Drew Estate cigars have sent a shock wave into the cigar industry in less than a decade. Seemingly coming from nowhere, Drew Estate, lead by visionary founder Jonathan Drew, have created a variety of successful, quality cigars. Beginning as a retail kiosk in the World Trade Center in the mid 1990's, Jonathan Drew and partner Marvin Samel have brought fresh new ideas to the cigar world. Although most people associate Drew Estate with flavored and infused cigars, they have also made a name for themselves in creating classic, handmade cigars in the old tradition. Natural cigars are their first, and most successful venture into this field. The name is perfect for the cigar, simple and right to the point.
Natural cigars were created in the late 1990's, after Acid cigars had already begun to take off. Jonathan Drew wanted to create a cigar that featured non-traditional tobacco blends, while also utilizing traditional Nicaraguan filler tobacco. It took him quite a while to get the correct combination, but once he did he knew he had done something special. Natural cigars also feature flawless construction, as we have rarely seen a Natural cigar that didn't burn perfectly all the way to the nub. Drew Estate knows cigars, and Natural is no exception. Debuting on June 14th, 2000 aboard a luxury yacht in New York City, the popularity for Natural cigars has only risen. Drew stated that June 14th was one of the most memorable nights of his life, stating, "I walked around and noticed that everyone was smoking Natural and remarking how unbelievable the taste was. I'll take that experience with me to my grave.” Even to this day, Drew Estate is continuing to work on the Natural cigar line, hoping to be able to cater to all smokers who desire different ring gauges and sizes.
Most traditional cigars use tobacco from between one and three countries. When we learned that Natural cigars were going to contain tobacco from twelve different countries, many of us were skeptical. Featuring tobacco from Syria, Turkey, Haiti, West Africa, and the U.S. as well as a variety of other countries, the flavor of a Natural is unlike anything we've ever smoked. The beauty of the Natural is that it seems so familiar, but unique at the same time. Natural cigars are also medium, and full bodied cigars. One could describe the flavor of a Natural cigar as containing caramel mixed with leather, coffee, a little bit of pepper as well as chocolate. An all around treat for any smoker.
Natural cigars feature a base leaf from Nicaragua, in combination with it's myriad of tobaccos blended from all over the world. Natural cigars are offered in three different wrappers: a powerful Maduro wrapper, grown in the black soil of Pueblo Nuevo, Nicaragua, a mild Sumatra wrapper, or a spicy Cameroon wrapper. The great thing about Natural cigars is the variety in sizes and ring gauges within the line. There is a torpedo, there is the Jucy Lucy which is 3 x 38, all the way up 6 x 50 Root Deluxe. Natural cigars also offer some variations on the traditional cigar. It wouldn't be a Drew Estate product without some innovation. There is the Natural Egg, which looks exactly like an Egg, boasting a 60 ring gauge, these cigars are offered in Natural and Maduro in singular quantities. A perfect gift for the smoker looking for something out of the ordinary. Natural also offers the Medusa which is a cuelbra that is 6 x 38, available in singular quantities.
Drew Estate has continued to produce quality cigars ever since it's inception at that retail kiosk. Natural cigars is a no-brainer for any smoker looking for a strong, powerful smoke. This cigar won't knock your socks off, but it does pack quite the punch. If you're looking for something new and unique, but not too far off the traditional path, look no further than Natural cigars.
