2021 was the 25th Anniversary of the first Smoke Inn premium cigar store. To celebrate, Drew Estate and Smoke Inn’s owner, Abe Dababneh, have created a special commemorative Herrera Estelí cigar honoring Abe’s father and mentor, Raji Dababneh. The Herrera Estelí Miami Smoke Inn 25th Anniversary Raji comes in one size, a 6 x 50 Toro. It is a limited-edition cigar rolled at El Titan De Bronze, the Little Havana boutique cigar factory that’s owned by Drew Estate Master Blender Willy Herrera’s family and where Herrera Estelí Miami cigars are made.
The blend for Herrera Estelí Miami Smoke Inn 25th Anniversary Raji uses a Mexican San Andres wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Each cigar features a commemorative foot band and are packaged in boxes of 10 that are adorned with the Smoke Inn logo. Raji’s signature on the bottom of every box.
When I was growing up in Chicago, I watched my dad work tirelessly at the little grocery store he owned. He always put in whatever it took to overcome any challenges and keep a roof over our heads and food on our table. He is a true inspiration for me as a businessman, husband and as a father. I learned, and continue to learn, so much from him. Dedicating our 25th anniversary cigar to him is the best way for me to give my heartfelt thanks to him for all that he has done for me.
Abe Dababneh
Abe and I have been close friends from very early on, and he has always been a true ‘stand and deliver’ guy who deserves tremendous success. His father, Raji, clearly has been a great mentor and teacher. It’s an honor to pay tribute to Raji, as well as celebrate Smoke Inn’s 25th anniversary with this majestic Herrera Estelí Miami expression.
Founder and President of Drew Estate, Jonathan Drew
