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.

·I feel like the other vitolas are just passable, but this one is one to take note of. I would say that the cigar started out at medium-full strength and then eased back to medium for the final two thirds. I highly recommend that you seek these out.
"I liked this cigar and wanted to like it a whole lot more except for the burn issues and the falling off of flavors in the last third. I liked the look of it and the notes of leather, coffee, and salt are definitely flavor notes that I thoroughly enjoy. I’d definitely revisit this cigar again and might enjoy it with a mild Bloody Mary as I think it would enhance the flavors." -Diana (ArmyRN)
Drew Estate is now shipping its TAA Exclusive version of the Herrera Esteli brand to retailers. This is the same cigar that the company shipped in 2016 for TAA retailers.
