My home shop W.Curtis Draper is celebrating their 125th Anniversary this year. To celebrate this milestone W.Curtis Draper will be releasing four limited edition cigars made by Pete Johnson (Tatuaje), Guiellermo Leon (La Aurora), Jorge Padron (Padron) and Carlito Fuente (Arturo Fuente). Kicking off this year’s festivities is Pete Johnson with a redux of a cigar he did to celebrate the 120th Anniversary of W.Curtis Draper. That cigar was called the Cabaiguan WCD 120; this time around its called Cabaiguan WCD 120 Redux. The Redux, and the subsequent anniversary releases, are limited to 250 boxes.
Pete Johnson was in town and visited the DC location on Friday, February 3rd and the Bethesda location on Saturday, February 4th. Below you will find a few snapshots I took of the events. You can also check out my annual interview, 23 Minutes with Pete Johnson. More material to come with a great video conversation between Pete Johnson and George Brightman. Enjoy.

Jerry were you able to sample any of the Little Monsters? If so, any thoughts?
I didn’t sample any of the Little Monsters. In fact the picture of George inspecting them was the only picture I got of them.
Looks great, I’m going to go ahead and pick through the interviews in a bit and check it out. I’ll have to get my hands on a box and try it out soon.

I was lucky enough to split a box with a fellow BOTL, and I gotta say these 120 Redux are pretty good! Not sure if they’re worth $9 apiece for the size, but they are very good.
Re: the Little Monsters, I heard one of the attendees say that they had asked and these are available yet … But Pete did say this year, so I’d bet on them around Halloween, personally.
