For almost a century, Florida was home to the cultivation of tobacco intended for use in premium cigars but by the 1970s, the local industry died out. Three decades later, premium cigar tobacco growing in Florida was resurrected with the advent of Florida Sun Grown tobacco, which is cultivated on a 20-acre farm in Clermont. Learn the history and the challenge of reviving Florida cigar tobacco growing and how Drew Estate incorporates Florida Sun Grown tobacco into its 20 Acre Farm super-premium cigars.
Upon arrival at the Florida Barn Smoker, guests will receive their Barn Smoker cigar pack and swag.
Florida Barn Smoker guests will tour the Florida Sun Grown farm and experience interactive, informative and fun educational seminars, led by Drew Estate Ambassadors, Jonathan Drew, Willy Herrera, Pedro Gomez, and Florida Sun Grown farm owner, Jeff Borysiewicz, on how Florida Sun Grown tobacco is cultivated, harvested, processed and blended into 20 Acre Farm cigars. Throughout the Florida Barn Smoker event, guests will also experience all-new interactive Drew Estate cigar brand activations for Undercrown, Tabak Especial, Herrera Estelí, Joya de Nicaragua, Pappy Van Winkle, Deadwood and MORE!
Guests can also enjoy other fine spirits and local food trucks. Plus, there’s plenty of opportunities to get one-of-a-kind pieces from our own Subculture Studios – all to raise money for Cigars for Warriors, a 501(c)(3) charity that supports American service men and women.
Must be at least 21 years old to purchase tickets or attend a Barn Smoker event.
