Jonathan Drew (Sann)

Jonathan Drew (Sann) founded Drew Estate and built La Gran Fábrica Drew Estate in Estelí. The company made its name on infused Acid cigars and later on traditional ultra-premium lines such as Liga Privada and Undercrown. Nick Melillo and Steve Saka were part of that Liga-era team before they left to start Foundation and Dunbarton.

Swisher International acquired Drew Estate in 2014. Drew stayed as the public creative identity. He does not own the company independently of Swisher. Production remains the Estelí campus. Acid and Liga Privada are still the two poles of the catalog: infused volume and traditional prestige, same founder, same factory town.
