"Jonathan Drew is the new kid on the block in Esteli, Nicaragua. La Vieja Habana is his statement that he is here to stay. Several times during the past decade when inferior grades of cigar boom tobaccos and then the ravages of Hurricane Mitch forced him to discontinue production of La Vieja Habana, Jonathan Drew persevered. Such is his commitment to his first brand, an extremely limited production boutique cigar that despite non-existent advertising and marketing continues to receive surprisingly high ratings and acceptance in every national cigar publication. Recovered now from the travails of the 1990’s, 2002 marks the third nationwide launch of La Vieja Habana. The interim has been spent wisely as Drew has had time to grow, select, and age genuine Corojo wrapper as well as purchase award winning tobacco that has turned out to exceed even his own high expectations. Always committed to the concept of Small Batch Production, Jonathan Drew is able to price La Vieja Habana below what you would expect to pay for this magnificent experience. It’s a cigar that you can smoke to the nub and still crave more." |
