Drew Estate Goes National with Florida Sun Grown (FSG) Offering - Cigar News

The fine folks at Drew Estate hath announced ... so very, very much lately. Oy vey iz mir, gentlepersons. The latest bit a' news is that their FSG brand shall now be available to its Drew Diplomat Preferred Retailers, nationally. The offering will have a high-lit spot at tomorrow's IPCPR trade-show.

Mr. Jeff Borysiewicz, founder/owner of Corona Cigar Company, grows the Floridian leaf down on his Claremont farm. The FSG, as ya may or mayn't be awares, was till now exclusive to Borysiewicz's shop. All FSG formats are parts and parcel of this national unveiling, including the Limited Edition Trunk Press.

Borysiewicz via Press Release: “Drew Estate’s commitment to the American tobacco movement is unmatched. From the Connecticut River Valley, to barns in Kentucky, and to my farm in Clermont, Florida, nobody supports American leaf farmers like Drew Estate. Since 2010 I’ve pioneered the resurgence of Florida tobacco, believing that consumers in the United States would be excited to bring American tobacco agriculture back to the forefront. When I purchased the land for our farm, I spent countless hours analyzing the temperature, sunlight, wind, humidity, and altitude that would bring my farm as close to the conditions of Pinar del Rio, Cuba as possible. These are very exciting times for this farm and for American tobacco.”

President and co-Founder of Drew Estate, one Mr. Jonathan Drew: “My friendship with Jeff spans almost 20 years. When Jeff first approached me about his idea to bring Florida tobacco back to the premium cigar industry I promised him that Drew Estate would stand by his side, just as we have done with the farmers in Connecticut and Kentucky. Pioneering anything is never easy, but what Jeff and his entire company have done is a truly breakthrough innovation. Drew Estate is genuinely committed to American tobacco.”
