Southern Draw is bringing 300 HANDS Connecticut to IPCPR 2019. Last year, it released the 300 HANDS Maduro and 300 MANOS Habano at IPCPR scoring a 93 and 90 respectively. The series is focused on collaboration through charity and is named after the 300 pairs of hands that touch every cigar that is made. See more about the project on their website.
