whats up Brad, Chad. Happy New Year guys. HE will be shipping sometime Feb. We had some packaging issues and we think we have solved them. HE will be in about 50 accts to start with and there are a few reasons for this.
FIrst reason is that i currently have 10 pairs working on my cigars. These rollers are coming frm the Liga crew of boncheros and roleras which have been trained in the traditional cuban method of making cigars. Second reason is that I personally want to go out to every single acct and introduce and have a rolling event and i physically wouldn't t be able to visit more that 50 accts in a year in top of my monthly trips to Nica , Cigar Safari's.
So there you have it guys, first year 50 accts and we will be opening up more accts as time goes and have built up my crew. Cant take all the Liga boncheros and roleras or i would become a marked man! jajaja

Since the HE's are only being shipped in small amounts to just 50 accounts, is there a published list of the stores that are receiving them so we can try to hunt some down?

Received my Toros yesterday. They look absolutely gorgeous, and smell even better.

I had read about the extremely fragile wrappers and packing tolerance issues. Two of them have a crack from the tip of the foot about 2 inches up.

Tyler,

Please see the message below from JD. You should be able to get the damaged ones replaced.

Guys.

Many of the Herrera Esteli that were shipped into the USA in December had cracked feet. This was due to the boxes being just a bit too loose in packing.


We have been working on resolving this issue to stop it before the January cigars leave - so nobody will have to worry down the road.

If you have purchased the Herrera Esteli and had some cracked cigars, which you probably did - please email John Brooke at jbrooke@drewestate.com and copy me on it at drewnica@yahoo.com so we can replace them.

Sorry about this speed bump.

Best
Dizz

Any word on a ballpark time frame for when the replacements are gonna go out to those of us who did receive HE boxes with cracked feet?

I received my replacement box today sent in a box of Lonsdales and they sent back a box of Robustos so guess I get to try another vitola but so far besides cracked feet the Lonsdales and the toro were excellent smokes!

In regard to the December Allotment with cracked feet issues, I am about to send approx 18 emails to John Brooke with replacement info. I was waiting until our annual DE sales meeting was over so it would be freshly on his desk when he got back - also when the new batch arrived.

In regard to January Allotment - good things to come.

Best,
JD
