I am not sure how you run a retail outlet and not honor the prices on the product. I said, "You are not going to honor the marked price on the box"? "oh no cant do that." And I left. "Oh, no.that was the old price the new price is. "What.no, here is the price on the box, $105.95, you have mispriced this. At the register the floor staffer says, $145.88. About six months ago that was what I paid for a box of the same. Granted this is not the groovy brand of cigar the floor staff might find to be hip, but for a Christmas party for most non cigar smokers a good choice in my humble opinion. So, I intended to buy a box of Cohiba Red Dots. In years past I have found cigars priced in the store and been a bit shocked to find that it was not the same price at the register. This is not the first time I have run into this at Corona but a bit of a bigger problem this time. To stay up to date on the progress of the first Drew Estate Lounge, visit.

We probably should have jumped him for his cash to finish up the factory roof! Hahahahahahahaha… well, the rest is history.” Jeff told me that he respected our hard work and humility. Half the factory had no roof we were drinking borrowed iced tea while we placed bands on each cigar ourselves. on some random day in 1999 when Jeff Borysiewicz walked by our little factory in Estelí, Nicaragua and saw us working, prepping the boxes for the release of the “Natural by DE” line.
