Drew Estate is celebrating its 30th anniversary by turning the spotlight on the consumers, retailers and community that helped build The Rebirth of Cigars with the launch of DE30 Rewards.

DE30 Rewards is a free, six-month campaign where consumers earn points for Drew Estate cigar purchases, retailer visits, events and brand engagement, then redeem those points for exclusive anniversary rewards created specifically for DE30.

Consumers can pre-register for Early Access at www.drewestate.com/DE30 through September 8. Drew Estate will begin inviting pre-registered consumers onto the DE30 Rewards platform by email ahead of the full campaign rollout.

“Thirty years …! We lost track of time a long time ago, but we never lost track of the people who got us here,” said Drew Estate Founder, President and Chief Innovation Officer Jonathan Drew Sann from J.SANN & SON in Wynwood. “I started in Manhattan at the World Trade Center with nothing but a cigar kiosk and a passion for premium cigars. In 1998, it was time to build our own brand the only way we knew how … by doing it ourselves. So I bought a ticket to Nicaragua and kissed my mom goodbye. A whopping six employees from the jump soon grew to thirty … then to one hundred … then to four thousand. Before we knew it, we founded La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate, planting our flag amongst the good people of Estelí, Nicaragua. We brought Brooklyn to Estelí … and brought Esteli to the world. Haters called us crazy and said we’d never last. But we did … they didn’t know we were seeds. The consumers believed. The retailers believed. The people believed. Now, thirty years later … we’re still here. Still creating … still pushing … still Drew Estate … still The Rebirth of Cigars. DE30 is about showing love back to the people who showed love to us. And trust me, we spared no detail at Subculture Studios Nicaragua to deliver on our brand promise for every one of you … for the ones who chose the path less traveled.”
