To coin an outdated phrase, “everything old is new again” would certainly suffice for Drew Estate’s newest cigar release, Chateau Real. Yes, the groundbreaking brand that opened a big new door for Drew Estate in 2006 is back after a 12 year hiatus and being made available exclusively to Drew Diplomat Digital retailers.
Chateau Real helped change the face of Drew Estate at a pivotal time in the company’s history, when it was working to expand its boundaries beyond the world of “infused cigars” and into “traditional cigars.” Moreover, while Chateau Real never achieved the worldwide prestige of Liga Privada, Undercrown, and Herrera Esteli, for whatever reason the brand mysteriously faded into the mist.
“Chateau, along with all of its secrets has since become one of the most sought-after ‘Drew Estate Ghosts’ with collectors keeping the brand and its folklore alive,” said Drew Estate Founder and President, Jonathan Drew. “We simply had to resurrect this prince of a brand.”
Crafted to highlight the cigar’s Connecticut Shade-forward flavor, a fully-aged Nicaraguan Habano binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos are seamlessly rolled in a silky, golden brown Connecticut Shade wrapper. Like the original, the new Chateau Real is predicted to redefine cigar smokers’ expectations for traditional, premium, mellow cigars at a very fair price.
Available only at Drew Diplomat online premium cigar retailers and packaged in 20-count boxes, Chateau Real is available in the following three sizes and price points:
Toro (6” x 50) $134.95 box/$6.75 cigar MSRP
Robusto (5” x 50) $129.95 box/$6.50 cigar MSRP
Churchill (7” x 50) $139.95 box/$7 cigar MSRP
“I’m absolutely thrilled that we are bringing brands to market that everyone can afford and feel intelligent about purchasing,” added Jonathan. CA
