Drew Estate’s Pope of Greenwich Village is making a comeback to Smoke Inn’s Micro Blend Series. The Micro Blend Series is a collection of rare, small batch cigars as a collaboration between some of the premium cigar industry’s top companies and Smoke Inn’s owner, Abe Dababneh. The Pope of Greenwich Village is named after the 1984 movie of the same name which happens to be one of Drew Estate Founder and President Jonathan Drew’s favorite movies. The original Pope of Greenwich Village cigar was first sold in 2015 and was the tenth iteration of the Micro Blend Series. Smoke Inn and Drew Estate also brought back The Pope of Greenwich Village in 2021 and it sold out quickly.
Drew Estate has announced the return of their Smoke Inn Micro Blend, Pope of Greenwich Village. Smoke Inn’s Micro Blend Series is a collection of collaborations between Smoke Inn’s owner, Abe Dababneh, and the cigar industrie's top manufacturers. The original Pope of Greenwich Village debuted 6 years ago and was the 10th entry in the series.
Instead of holding the event in person as it has done for the last 15 years, Smoke Inn will hold its Great Smoke event virtually, due to COVID-19. Dubbed, The Great Smoke 2021 “The Digital Experience,” the even will take place February 20th, 2021 live in an 8 hour variety show format.
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.
Smoke Inn announced today that Michael Herklots will co-host the virtual Great Smoke 2021, dubbed The Great Smoke - "The Digital Experience." Michael Herklots is the former Vice President of Nat Sherman International and has previously worked with Davidoff as well.
