Jonathan Drew Sann and Drew Estate Announce New Partnership

Drew Estate is proud to announce a new partnership with its founder Jonathan Drew Sann: J.SANN & SON. Comprised of a family cigar factory and brand, world-class cigar bar, live music venue, and full kitchen supper club that exists under one 7,200 sq. ft. roof in Wynwood, Florida. J.SANN & SON resides at 359 NW 28th Street, Miami, Florida, 33127 in the heart of the Wynwood Art District, and will open in Spring 2026.

J.SANN & SON is the next chapter of the Jonathan Drew story within Drew Estate. Built as a “generational establishment,” J.SANN & SON was inspired by the birth of Jonathan’s son and marks a new level of relationship between Drew Estate and its founder.

“Every iconic brand has an origin story,” says Sann. “Ours is built upon family, loyalty, and purpose. It’s a beautiful founder forward story – as the culmination of thirty years building Drew Estate matures into the generational ritual of the passing of the torch with the birth of my son, Jonathan Drew Sann II (JD2).”

CEO of Drew Estate, Glenn Wolfson had this to say on the announcement of this landmark partnership and venue, “I am extraordinarily excited and proud of this new venture, which is a direct result of the mutual loyalty between Drew Estate and Jonathan and begins a new chapter in our collective commitment to innovating for consumers.”

Capable of producing just 500 handmade cigars per day, the J.SANN & SON family factory will serve as an innovative and creative home base for JD and a hub for partnerships with cigar industry friends, brands, and companies. Located just four blocks from JD’s home, Jonathan will be continuously immersed in all facets of J.SANN & SON’s factory and cigar culture center. Jonathan said, “It will be like when I first opened Drew Estate and spent years sleeping on the factory floor. This is truly a full circle moment.”

The J.SANN & SON venue will open in Spring 2026, while the family factory and website will become operational later in 2026. Jonathan’s family factory brands will be available to purchase in person at the Wynwood venue and online at www.jsannandson.com

Additionally, Drew Estate plans to distribute J.SANN & SON manufactured brands on an extremely exclusive basis due to the production limitation of 500 cigars daily.

J.SANN & SON will also offer a curated selection of cigars both in-store and online from the world’s biggest cigar brands, boutiques, and new discoveries. The cigar selection is made exclusively of brands with personal meaning to founder Jonathan Drew Sann, serving as a selected snapshot of the cigars that demand celebration in the modern-day marketplace. 

The J. SANN & SON bar and kitchen features a world-class cocktail and supper club menu led by Michelin-star chef Julia Ning, who opened Goosefoot, an acclaimed French modernist restaurant in Chicago. Chef Ning promises to deliver a palette of flavors and a culinary perspective unlike anything previously seen in a cigar-centric venue. 

In addition, J.SANN & SON will offer an exclusive space to share deep, immersive brand experiences, entertaining visitors with live music and experiential evenings designed to foster community and welcome cigar enthusiasts from all walks of life. Live performances at J.SANN & SON will celebrate brand stories and share the rawest, most impactful aspects of founders’ journeys. 

When asked what this means for Drew Estate, Jonathan Drew Sann said: “I will continue to serve as President & Chief Innovation Officer. J.SANN & SON is not a goodbye; it is a continuation of a beautiful story that began thirty years ago. At the end of the day, J.SANN & SON is a cigar culture center unlike anything that exists on the planet. I want to rekindle the feeling of our opening in Nicaragua, but here in the United States where it is accessible to all cigar lovers… I hope you all can join us.” 

J.SANN & SON plans to open in Spring 2026. For more information or to join the J.SANN & SON mailing list, visit www.jsannandson.com.

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.
