Drew Estate has unveiled its Freestyle Live Event Pack, a new release that centers on Dominican tobaccos. Produced at La Gran Fabrica in Estelí, Nicaragua, this cigar departs from the company’s well-known maduro-heavy, full-bodied offerings. It features a Connecticut shade wrapper and a mellow character, blended with Drew Estate’s signature sweet cap, aiming to honor the Dominican Republic’s tobacco heritage while reflecting the brand’s manufacturing approach.
Jonathan Drew, Founder and President of Drew Estate, called this a deliberate move into the Dominican cigar space. “We’re doing it our way, The Drew Estate Way,” he said, emphasizing that the cigar wasn’t designed to appeal to everyone. He added that it represents the company’s current direction and responds to feedback from fans who have long requested a lighter, more traditional smoke within Drew Estate’s portfolio. “It comes from a deep place,” Drew remarked, hinting at more Dominican-focused projects to come.
Retailing at $40, the Freestyle Live Event Pack includes four unbranded cigars, a torch lighter, a dog tag necklace, and a 10-count travel humidor in a tackle box design. Available at select Drew Estate retailers across the United States, this limited-edition pre-release gives consumers an early chance to try the blend before its official public launch. The unbranded cigars add an element of mystery, with Drew Estate planning a full unveiling later.
Known for nearly 30 years as a brand that explores premium tobaccos and unique blending styles, Drew Estate positions this release as part of its ongoing evolution, blending its Nicaraguan roots with a nod to Dominican traditions.
