Chief Evangelist of Southern Draw Cigars, Robert Holt, made a simple offer in the beginning of 2020. He asked cigar retailers to take a chance and purchase a cigar blend without any details ahead of release - other than the fact that is was being nmade at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez, we didn't even have a name. Famous was one of only 10 retailers to take the plunge. Nervous, however, we were not: our relationship with the Holts runs long and deep, and we knew we could count on Southern Draw's flawless track record as a top boutique producer.
It was a gamble that paid off in spades. Teeming with flavors of nuts, sweet spices, red peppers, and cream, Southern Draw Manzanita is a sure-fire winner that we can now share with you.
The name means "little apple," Robert's nod to the obvious dark reddish hue of the cigar's Habano Hybrid wrapper. As with most of their cigars, there's also a charitable aspect: a portion of the proceeds from each box goes to First Nations Development Institute to provide food and health services to Indigenous Americans and their families. It's a box that tastes great and feels even better to buy, so add one to your cart and check off flavor - and a good deed - today at Famous!
