Not only is he busying making his own lines, in his new state of the art factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, but he has been blending cigars in collaborations with many other cigar manufactures.

Drew Estate Pappy Van Winkle Tradition Belicoso Fino
One of the best pairings while smoking a cigar is a nice bourbon. The flavors compliment each other nicely and are perfect for a nice relaxing nightcap. Pappy Van Winkle is one of the greatest bourbons on the market so I was excited to hear that they teamed up with Drew Estate to produce a couple […]
Romeo Y Julieta Short Churchill
Romeo y Julieta is a Cuban cigar brand that I’ve never really taken too. The only one I’ve ever really enjoyed was the Churchill. Even the Edicion Limitadas didn’t really appeal to me. Romeo y Julieta also has never had a robusto in their regular line up until the Short Churchill was introduced in 2006. […]

They convinced the family to share their […]
CAO Amazon Fuma Em Corda Robusto
CAO released a cigar called the Amazon Basin in 2014 to much fanfare. I was never able to get my hands on one, though and, to be honest, I thought it was a gimmicky cigar. Fast forward to 2016 and I was able to get my hands on the 2016 release of the cigar at […]
