This week, #ELOsoFumarTakes welcomes Pedro Gomez Rodriguez of Drew Estate Cigars : The Rebirth of Cigars as our guest of honor for #Take194. The last time we spoke with Pedro, it was a very special collaborative interview with Cigar Coop at Drew Estate Barn Smoker in Clermont, Florida. It's been a couple of years, and Pedro, as usual, has been hard at work with all the good folks at Drew Estate. We catch up with Pedro and talk all things Undercrown and what its been like to be at the forefront of ushering in a new era of Drew Estate. Enjoy!
For this occasion, Pedro and I would like to continue spotlighting from last week - Operation: Cigars for Warriors
