Big round of applause for Broadleaf junkie

"Alright guys," Pedro says jokingly, "let's give a big round of applause for our broadleaf junkie here!" I laugh: "Thank you, thank you," and Pedro says: "It's always an honor to be here and celebrate the cigar community."

Pedro looks enthusiastic as he starts: "At Drew Estate we have a lot of great things going on. I'm talking about La Liga Privada #10, Selección de Mercado, Deadwood Cigars, Acid Cigars, Tabaco Especial, Nica Rustica, and of course the classics like Liga Privada #9 and H99 Anniversario. But do you know what's particularly exciting?"

Pedro Gomez in his element.

Papas Bravas!

"Tell me," I ask him and I'm excited. Full of energy, he continues: "Our new products for the international market - the Papas Bravas! If you know the Papas Fritas or Nasty Fritas, then you'll love the bigger version. This cigar is simply brilliant: tobacco from Honduras and Nicaragua, combined with a Broadleaf wrapper. It really is a delicious blend, you'll be delighted."

"Sounds fantastic," I say as I try to keep the whole list in my head. Pedro continues: "And then we have something else special - our collaboration with Metallica! The Blackened Cigars from Drew Estate, in combination with Blackened American Whiskey. These cigars are just beautiful - medium to full-bodied, exactly what you expect from Drew Estate. We've incorporated tobacco from Nicaragua, Ecuador, Mexico and even Connecticut."

Liga Privada Seleccion De Mercado - Only for the European market.

Did you just say Metallica?

"Wait, you just said 'Metallica'?" I ask in astonishment. - "Yes, that's right. Metallica! The M81 and S84 varieties. And for the international market, we have something really exclusive - the Undercrown 10 Flying Pig. This cigar is something very special."

I nod appreciatively. "That sounds really great. Drew Estate really knows how to surprise again and again." Pedro concludes with a smile: "On behalf of Drew Estate, I thank you and all our fans for the support. Stay tuned, keep smoking cigars and stay blessed!"

"My man, that was really good!" I praise him. We go for a handshake, but... we mess it up. We both laugh out loud. "Next time, Pedro, next time we'll do it right!"
