Courtney Lynch Recognized by Atlanta Culture Week

Without boots on the ground, without friendly, educated cigar lovers spreading the good word throughout local brick-and-mortars, the Rebirth of Cigars would’ve ended years ago. Luckily for us at Drew Estate, we have the best team of cigar reps and brand ambassadors in the world – and it’s not just us saying that.

At the Atlanta Culture Week our Territory Manager Courtney Lynch was awarded Cigar Rep of the Year for the City of Atlanta. This is a fantastic honor and one that’s well deserved by Courtney. Courtney joined Drew Estate in April of 2023. While not new to the world of cigars, Drew Estate has been Courtney’s official introduction to the cigar industry – one he’s taken to with this immediate honor! Courtney’s go-to cigars are the Undercrown Maduro and Liga Privada T52. Outside of hosting amazing events in Atlanta, you’ll find him watching football, travelling, or grilling!

The city of Atlanta has a vibrant cigar culture that Drew Estate is incredibly proud to be apart of, and we couldn’t do it without folks like Courtney spreading the word and hosting amazing events for all of our amazing fans. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us throughout Georgia, and we hope to share a cigar with you soon!

Wrappers, Binders, and Fillers

The wrapper, binder, and filler refer to the individual leaves that make up the cigar you're enjoying.

The filler leaves of the cigar are the inner-most leaves and make up a majority of the tobacco inside. Filler leaves are bunched together by buncheros at the factory.

These filler leaves are held together with a binder leaf - a whole leaf encasing all of the filler tobacco and holding them tightly together.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the wrapper. This single leaf is the outermost cover of the cigar, and must be high-quality in both performance and aesthetics.

Cigar shapes and sizes

Individual cigar sizes, called vitolas, can shape your experience and enjoyment of a blend. At Drew Estate, we strive to offer our brands in a variety of vitolas that best show off the tobaccos contained inside. Exploring the subtle taste profile differences between different sizes is a great way to learn more about your favorite blend or switch up your experience.

Each size is presented in two numbers: the first is the length of the cigar, in inches. The second is the “ring gauge” - a measurement of the diameter of the cigar, measured in 64ths of an inch.
