Glenn Wolfson passed away last night. He was a friend, a mentor, and teacher. A man of unassailable character he was one of the first people to call me to welcome me to the Drew Estate family when I got hired in the winter of 2016. I was bottles deep into Bourbon County Stouts, a kid they picked up from the streets with zero professional cigar experience. I knew I hit the jackpot and I let him know!!

A leader who could never be outworked he set the pace and raised the bar because he believed in you and knew you had his back. Glenn loved to challenge us but he always took the time to call after a meeting to say he appreciated us and our hard work.

Glenn was going to ride into the sunset this year with a long planned retirement. When asked why he chose to work with a ragtag band of wildings he said he stayed because he loved us. A man who was not afraid to cry in a meeting, an unforgettable character that left you in awe of his mastery - a winner through and through.

That will be Glenn's legacy at Drew Estate - he taught us how to win. I am heartbroken with the news of someone who I looked up to, who leveled me up and everyone around me. Glenn was a man of class and grace. He was famous for the Glenn Wolfson hostage hour - one of the few times he would pull out the CEO card to tell each and every one of us why he loved us.

I will miss ranting about how bad the Bears and the Cubs were, I will miss the legendary wine he was always willing to share and teach you about, a standard bearer that will live in our hearts as a measure of a man. A transformational character in all of our lives - grateful to have been graced by his command. We will live to honor your legacy and keep our winning ways.

I am so happy to have been introduced to Vinya for the first time by friends on Saturday during their Patio Pounders Grand Tasting event! What a great opportunity to get to know a small business with a huge heart! Allegra was on top of every single detail & everyone involved in making this event a pleasure left me anxious for the next one! So pleasantly surprised with the bites provided, but the selection of wines & sommeliers at hand was SO impressive. The true testament to this event was the number of times we heard Allegra's name being mentioned over & over again by the wine reps at each table... "Allegra's own private picks" or "Allegra's top choice" or "Allegra's favorite". This is how you know a small business will continue to succeed - when those that are there representing their own brands know the owners first hand! Beautiful staff, beautiful day, beautiful setup! Just beautiful. Thank you for having Aldo there representing Gin No 3 & Macallan. What a special treat to taste such an amazing whiskey like the Macallan Litha. I am a Spring/Summer Gin Gal & a Fall/Winter Bourbon Gal so these two specially selected spirits were perfection!

I'm hoping to be back for their winter event!

finally made it to @tambourineroom and it is a definite new favorite. the chefs do a wonderful job with presentation, creative flavor mixtures, and incorporating techniques from their own cultures. thank you for your commitment to your craft. this is one i hope to revisit again and again.

p.s. i typically dont opt-in to caviar service, but this one paired with the meal perfectly- well worth it 💫

Wheels down in Estelí, Nicaragua and straight into the heart of tobacco country! 🇳🇮 Had an absolutely incredible trip with @thebourbonbrain on a “Cigar Safari” for a project we are incredibly passionate about.
We’re working with the legends at @drewestatecigar to relaunch the Brothers of the Leaf cigar for our @botlwhiskey partnership!
This was a full immersion—from seeing the end-to-end production process to getting a masterclass education in tobaccos and the industry. The absolute highlight? Getting our hands dirty at the blending table and creating two distinct cigar profiles that may one day be the soul of the final product. 🤞 many tobaccos tried and were excited to see where this goes!
The passion, tradition, and artistry here are on another level. This is just the beginning. Big things are coming! 🔥

Special thanks to Toña Cerveza for keeping me hydrated all week!

Many thanks to @goatking @drewestateben @herreraesteli Ian Blanken, Henry, Francisco, subculture studios and the whole DE team for everything!!

Very dope 4th of July weekend!
Got to go to the NASCAR street race block party, where I won free tix to the race, linked up with my longtime homie @goatking , ran into some old friends, chilled on a good friends rooftop for fireworks on the 4th and last but not least I survived a other wild ass Blake party! 😜🔥🙌🏾

On May 15th 2015, I stepped into the Drew Estate factory for the first time as a visitor on Cigar Safari and signed the wall. Nearly 10 years later and 8 years with the company, I had the privilege to go back to the factory with our employees who had been hired and never got the opportunity to experience our factory as employees.

There is nothing more magical than seeing the heart and soul of our company: our people. Whether it's Drew Estate Miami or Drew Estate Esteli, we come from shared values - service to our community of stakeholders, passion for our craft, and an inflexible discipline to deliver outstanding cigars and experiences.

The most meaningful part of the trip was hearing from our factory leadership team about the history of Drew Estate, where we came from, and the bright future we chase. We try to hold ourselves accountable to a high standard and deliver excellence every day - that's our culture.

I once felt that my greatest satisfaction working at Drew Estate was the ability to be part of a team in developing the next great cigar. It was a personal transformation to realize that the real meaning of the work meant that the people of our factory maintain their livelihoods and gain the opportunity to thrive. In this same vein, I know our Drew Estate Miami team has learned the lesson that our work is meaningful and serves a greater purpose. It was a trip that enriched our lives and a lesson we will never forget.
