Drew Estate has introduced a new super-premium cigar line called 20 Acre Farm. This new cigar line made its debut on Nov. 11, 2021, during Drew Estate’s latest Freestyle Live Special Edition broadcast.
20 Acre Farm is described as a “complex and medium-bodied cigar with super oaky and cedar notes accompanied by a whisper of white pepper and a bright hint of citrus.” 20 Acre Farm’s blend consists of an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade-grown wrapper, a Sun Grown Habano binder, and filler tobaccos grown In Nicaragua’s Esteli and Jalapa regions. The filler also contains Florida Sun Grown tobacco leaf that was grown by Jeff Borysiewicz on his 20-acre plot of land near the central Florida town of Clermont.
“Florida was once a big tobacco supplier for cigar factories in Tampa and beyond,” Borysiewicz explains. “The farm that I bought just west of Orlando proved to be the perfect plot of land to resurrect Florida’s cigar tobacco growing heritage. We combined age-old tobacco-growing practices along with the most advanced modern agricultural techniques to produce Florida Sun Grown tobacco, which is unique in every aspect of flavor, intensity, and aroma.”
Jonathan Drew, president and founder of Drew Estate, added: “Jeff’s magnificent farm in Clermont has the feel of being directly transported from Cuba’s famed Vuleta Abajo region, where the best Cuban tobaccos are harvested. While carefully blended into the cigar so it doesn’t overpower the rest of the tobaccos, the Florida Sun Grown tobacco serves as 20 Acre Farm’s backbone, and it leads every aficionado on an exclusive journey through history, space, and time to the gilded years of Cuban cigars.”
20 Acre Farm will be available to all premium cigar retailers beginning in early December. This ultra-premium cigar will come in 20-count boxes and will be available in three sizes: Toro (6 x 52), Robusto (5 1/4 x 54), and Gordito (6 x 60). MSRP per cigar will range from $12.40 to $15.40.
