BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

What I respect so much about both these guys is that they blaze their own path in this world. So very few people do so--particularly in an industry practically drowning in its own traditions.
Good luck to both of you guys. I'm gonna buy the shit outta these nosotros.

Curious to see what comes outta there. I just tried a Liga Privada #9 and thought it was a pretty good cigar.

When I visited Drew Estates (Cigar Safari) last fall that's "all" I smoked for 4 days....love them Liga Privada's!
....and I was smoking 6 or more a day!

Very cool - I'll echo what you guys have already stated: I'm not into the infused cigars at all, but I respect what these guys are up to & look forward to trying the results!
I have not been a fan of Drew Estate in the past but it seems as if they are trying to change their image a little..... Such as the Liga Privada No. 9 (Great smoke) As for Dion's work, he knows how to make a good cigar so I will be looking forward to this release and wish them both the best.
The guys at Drew Estate are all about quality... both in terms of product and their state of the art facilities. They are passionate about the work they do...
In the past (as the article states) there has been a stigma for some because the early DE stuff wasn't necessarily "traditional" (flavors and infusions turn off a lot of guys) The LP#9 is one excellent example of the quality traditional work these guys are capable of.
Can't wait to try the finished product. With Drew and Dion working on the project together, it should definitely be worth checking out.

I have faith in Dion. It will be good, especially if the Cruzado and Epernay are any indication...
I like DE other than the Acids, and a couple in the natural line. I'm not one for infused but those Tabak Especials aren't bad for a flavored cigar. I recommend them to customers looking for the Javas, which we also carry, blah. A majority of the natural line I thought was good when I last smoked them. Sort of like a pipe with out a pipe.

I'm really looking forward to this! Dion's stuff is great, as we all know. But Jonathan is a great cigar blender as well. This infused sticks are very popular and so that's what he's most known for, but his non-infused stuff is great (Liga Privada, Chateau Real, La Vieja Habana, and the Natural line). I think this will be a really cool partnership!
