Willy Herrera, Master Blender of Drew Estate stated, \u201cI\u2019ve been asked consistently over the years at events across the nation to blend a larger ring gauge Herrera Estel\u00ed. The opportunity and challenge of bringing out the unique set of flavors in a large format cigar took many trials and this DeSocio takes the Herrera Esteli blend and unparalleled smoking experience to a whole new level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The DeSocio series was inspired by the maternal grandmother of Tom Sullivan, Founder of Alliance Cigar, and pays homage to the family\u2019s heritage. Tom Sullivan states, \u201cThe DeSocio collection of exclusive sizes of my favorite brands is something I\u2019ve always wanted to do, and now with the addition of the Herrera Estel\u00ed DeSocio I am excited to finally add a vitola from my favorite Drew Estate brand. My working relationship with Drew Estate began in 1997 and the addition of the Herrera Esteli \u2018DeSocio\u2019 helps us mark and celebrate our 20-year anniversary of friendship and mutual business success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From Drew Estate Connecticut Barn Smoker, where Jonathan Drew\u2019s theme was \u201cfamily\u201d, he stated, \u201cThe Sullivan family and Alliance Cigar are true friends and for 20 years have been a strategic partner of DE at every level. The Herrera Esteli \u2018De Socio\u2019 is a special cigar and beautiful concept which honors family and heritage. Tommy is a tobacco man, who has helped many in the premium cigar manufacturing community grow and better themselves. It&#8217;s great to give something of value back to our Brother Sully. I know you are reading this my brother, and I want to personally thank you for 20 years of solidarity and partnership.&#8220;<\/p>\n<h3>Drew Estate Herrera Estel\u00ed DeSocio<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Origin:<\/strong> Nicaragua<br \/>\n<strong>Wrapper:<\/strong> Ecuador<br \/>\n<strong>Binder:<\/strong> Honduras<br \/>\n<strong>Filler:<\/strong> Nicaragua<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> DeSocio 6 x 60<br \/>\n<strong>MSRP:<\/strong> USD 8.60<br \/>\n<strong>Packaging:<\/strong> 10 count boxes<br \/>\nAvailable exclusively at <a title=\"Alliance Cigar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alliancecigar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alliance Cigar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drew Estate announced the release of Herrera Estel\u00ed DeSocio, an exclusive vitola manufactured for Alliance Cigar, a premium cigar wholesale distributor based in New York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":17019,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[49,55,2812,2796],"tags":[4486,413,2737,1271],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17018"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
