    He looks like a Dougie to me, who often gets called Doobie as a joke. Lives with his mother, dresses up each day for no reason, spends all his money on collectibles and cigars, sits in the B&M all day annoying all the customers, says he’ll one day be a CIA agent (applies weekly), eats mac and cheese and ham for breakfast, tuna and sausage links with bacon bits for lunch, and snacks the rest of the night with no real dinner.

  • CigarsThomas

    He needs to be named the DREWSTER! Bringin' the wacky tobacky to the world (we'll at least Tobacco! haha)

  • drewestatecigar

    I like it! He needs a back story though!

  • Tom Ramsey

    DJ LoFat

  • CigarJenn

    His name is Mario. Back story?! Fuggetaboutit!

  • Tpetzold

    His Name, Drew Cohiba Gurka, he prefers to just be called “D”, just “D”……

    …He used to be one of Santa's elves. BUT, when they passed the anti-smoking legislation he just could not give up his stogies. So told Santa “Hasta La Vista baby!!” and headed for the sunny shores of Nicaragua. There he got a job as a spokesmodel fo the Drew Estate Cigar family.

    He does not regret his decision…

  • Productof82

    Señor Smokes – He hails from the hills of rolling tobacco fields to bring everyone the finest cigars available.

  • Jon Elliott

    Drogie it should be.

  • CigarsThomas

    Back story is simple. He's JDrew's illegitimate child…he has never met this child but he haunts him daily all while giving him his “tobacco” ideas…..JDrew never really tells people about this “haunting issue”

    Nicky… or more formally Nick…
    Being a Naturalized Nicaraguan…
    Da Nick as his closest friends call him, always keeps his friends supplied in top shelf cigars.
    If you're running low on Drew Estates smokes, call Nicky, and he'll replenish your supply just in
    'Da Nick' of time before you run out.
    Some folks like to tease Nicky by saying his last name is “tenee”
    Just a little play on words since he named his coffee infused cigar 'Tabacky Special'
    Drew Estate's Nicky Teene is my new best friend.

    Stewart Dee (anagram for Drew Estate) His friends just call him Stewie.

  • Paulgshaffer

    Jack Hixon – He is a Renaissance man, was once a lieutenant colonel in the Army but after his contract ended he picked up numerous hobbies such as surfing, golf, medieval battle reenacting etc… to fend off the boredom of returning to civilian life. But most importantly he loves his Drew Estate cigars.

  • Matt

    Andrew Bestate AKA “Drewbie”, a middleaged man born and raised, somewhere, he won't comment on that. His typical “New York” mafioso look combined with his flair for being a visual chameleon give this character an aire of mystery. Drewbie blends himself into every situation and always manages to be the life of the party. Not much is known about Drewbie's past, but we know that no matter what his “flavor of the day” is, he's sure to suprise and dellight everyone he comes in contact with.

  • Jackie

    Momo (short for Momotombo)

    The most interesting man in the world can’t hold a candle to him. Momo is always the same, but different. Hailing from nowhere, yet everywhere. Preferring to remain low key, he is the chameleon of the cigar world. Today, he’s brash and artsy in an Acid sort of way. Tomorrow, he may be smooth and sophisticated in a Liga mood. The day after, who knows? All Momo knows is he’s never bored, nor boring. Dress him up any way you like, he’s always at ease and a pleasure to be around.

    He bathes in 140 botanicals, herbs and essential oils….
    The “no smoking law” does not apply to him….
    He once lit up in the forest, and Smokey the Bear joined him….

    Señor D has a nice ring to it too…with that mustache he looks like he is a Señor and could have originated from la Habana.

  • Doblemaduro

    His name is “James, James Drew, 001″. He's a master of disguise in the service of his majesty, Mr. Jonathan Drew. He does share his expertise with the world renown, Mr. Steve Saka as well. You can tell by his many disguises that he's quite the ladies man. His motto after all is, “For God and my next Drew Estates cigar.”

    Scott, you sir are a genius!

  • http://twitter.com/InWithBacchus Scott Spolverino

    The name is Horace. Just Horace, if you please. International man of mystery, intrigue, and good taste. Assigned to infiltrate the offices of Drew Estate to walk away with the top secret Acid recipes, he has donned many outfits to fit in and deflate curiosity from the higher-ups. From soldier to surfer, Horace does what his duty demands of him. While you may never know who he is next, you can always find him by smell: perpetually indulging in the Drew Estates liberal outlook on “smoking while you work”, he always has a faint odor of the cigars he's so desperately trying to steal.

    Thanks… Hopefully there is no TM issues… but then again who cares. We do what we want. People said flavored or infused cigars wont sell… Look at you now.. keep up the good work.

    He has never been voted off an Island…

    Uncle Drew is the international personification of Drew Estate Cigars. Dressed in blue he is he is a cigar enthusiast like me and you. He is an active member of Cigar Rights of America (CRA) counterpart to Uncle Sam and works hard to ensure that cigars smokers across the world have the pleasure of enjoying some of the finest blends known to mankind. He is a symbol of the best ideals of Drew Estate Cigars. From the earliest days until today, he has stood for top notch products at a fair price without compromising quality. While as consumers of fine cigars, we do not always perfectly achieve these ideals, Uncle Drew remains a poignant symbol and reminder of the goal and objective . . . ‘Hecho a mano’.

  • Lloyd

    He was a sidekick of Jonathan’s; a handsome man few knew of, but he followed Jonathan wherever he went – even to Esteli, Nicaragua. And he was a man of many talents; an avid golfer, fireman, DJ… There were even rumors that he was a hit man for the mob. He knew all of Jonathan’s dreams and aspirations and knew that if he just stuck around long enough, he would be sharing in the spoils that Jonathan would eventually reap.

    But greed got the best of Jonathan’s sidekick. While in Esteli, Jonathan created a blend for a cigar that he was certain would be the catalyst that would amass him a fortune fit for a king. He brought it back with him to NYC and couldn’t wait to tell his colleagues of his creation. His sidekick, knowing how rich he could be by marketing that blend, wanted it so bad he stole it from Jonathan. But what he didn’t know was that Jonathan sensed the greed in his ‘silent’ partner, so he protected his cigar creation by having a Nicaraguan witch place a spell on the cigar, so that if it should ever be stolen, the thief would be cursed.

    And sure enough, once his sidekick stole the cigar he was struck by the curse and was transformed into an ugly troll. So disappointed by the betrayal of his sidekick, Jonathan banished him to their beat up office in DUMBO and left for Miami.

    Years later, Jonathan returned to NYC searching for his cursed sidekick to offer an olive branch and give him another chance. Recalling the place where he was banished, he returned there and found T.U.M.B.O., the Troll Underneath the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.

    Today, TUMBO is once again Jonathan’s sidekick and can be seen at several Drew Estate events tending bar, playing DJ & even dressing as Santa Claus. Although he’s still a troll, Jonathan’s sidekick is exactly where he wants to be.

  • Joe R.

    Señor Robusto is the perfect name

    He is not the biggest guy but he has great taste and a good kick. It also lends it self well to well to all the different lifestyles and personalities that he takes on in his everyday life.

  • TheDudeAbides

    Gunther Drew, jack of all trades, master of but one: sweet, sweet tobacco.
    Born in the middle of the last century, somewhere deep in the Black Forest of Bavaria, Gunther escaped the clutches of communism by stowing away in the belly of a tramp steamer bound for Nicaragua. The journey was arduous, but upon his arrival he was taken in by a band of gypsy torcedors. They nursed him back to health, and tutored him in the dark, forgotten arts of infusion, and blending. All the while regaling him with stories of the mythical “Flying Pig”, and the soon-to-be-widely-available (Hopefully), but still mysterious “Dirty Rat”.
    Now Gunther travels the world, a modern day Johnny Tobacco-seed. Sowing seeds of good will and good smoke in every port.

  • Jeff Mouttet

    S. Drew. The S. stands for Smokeapottamus. He was born in London, and educated at Eton. He always smoked Cuban cigars until he came to America to be a rapper or surfer, depending on the weather. After waiting tables for 5 years, he decided he wanted his citizenship expedited, so he joined the Army and was picked for Ranger training. He was discharged under “mysterious” circumstances, and the next anyone saw him was on the PGA tour. After winning three Masters in a row, he retired, and went to work for his Dad, J. Drew, doing well, noboby is exactly sure what he does. But he does it well.

  • Baparooski

    Name: Samuel (Gar) Drew

    Found as a newborn at the gates of a wealthy couple's estate in the tony neighborhood of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Samuel was taken in and reared as their own. Nicknamed 'gar for the way his pacifier would hang out of his mouth like a ci”gar”, he grew up in the lap of luxury, never wanting for anything….except to know who he really was. At the age of 10, Gar headed out into the world in search of his true self. From surfer dude, to Mafioso hit man to Keystone cop, Gar was willing to try anything in the hopes of finding his fit, breaking hearts and making love all along the way. Today, Gar is still searching for himself and racking up notches in the old bedpost, so don't be surprised if Gar shows up as the waiter at your favorite restaurant….or the guy in your girlfriends bed.

    Drew Suave~

    Master cigar salesmen. Motto: You make it, I'll move it. Ability to sell cigars to those of all walks of life. Ability to talk Eskimo's into buying ice. His love of cigars took over his life so he sold his small business, went to Nicaragua sampling various cigars before stumbling upon Drew Estates. Fell in love with their cigars and worked his way up from the bottom to becoming their top salesmen/marketing genius in a mere 6 months.

    He is best known for naming of couple of their vitola's from their best selling lines after animals.

  • Tadd Daniel

    I was thinking the name Dewey, but there seem to be many similar names already. So my uber cool name is Nica. Nica hails from the greatest tobacco producing nation in South America. He is a by product of coolness and uniqueness. He is always cool under pressure and provides solutions to any and all problems. He comes in many different forms and flavors. Always there calm, cool, and collected. I am jealous of Nica.

  • Cigarscot

    Don Drewmo is from a small town in the Dominican Republic. His Father was a roller and master blender for a small cigar company. Their blends being very unique and out of the norm from what cigar smokers were used to. Don Drewmo carried these blends and his Father's traditions of rolling, to Drew Estate. Where his taste and blends were not only appreciated but allowed to flurish.

  • Danny Hood

    Jon-Jon….. after Jonathan Drew we just have to keep the name in and around the family, so this way its a family name. Kinda looks like him anyway, well doesn't he??????

  • Alex Diaz

    I would call him Saka lol. It reminds me of Saka, Zombie Saka, Policeman Saka, and BBQ Saka are some of the names. I feel like it would be an animated short in the adventures and misadventures of Steve Saka. Watch the Dr. Tran youtube videos for revelance to my ideas lol.
    1…2…3…Saka!!!

  • J.A.S.

    Armando Smokes (Making Smokes –> Smoking);

    He used to be an uninteresting guy, until he found his family kicked out of cigar paradise (ISOM?). He travelled all over the wold trying to find his place, until he started spending a lot of time around DUMBO… there he met his destiny by helping Drew Estate to make the best cigars in the world. There is nothing he hasn't done or places he hadn't been, a man of experiences.

  • Tom Navarro Sr.

    his name would be:
    Tio Felix “DE” Dumbo
    DE was there from the beginning, He showed that anything is possible if you persue your dreams. Tio DE was the little man behind the scene ” jack of all trades” and he showed it and lived it. Tio DE was the type of man if he saw something he can do it on the first try. The first time when he went to nicaragua with jonathan it was “DE” that spoke the language.
    And the story goes on……

  • Melman55

    I suggest Nica Libre. Nica is a symbol of all that Drew Estate has accomplished and provides…not only the great enjoyment of the consumers of your fine products…but more importantly…for enriching the lives of the wonderful Nicaraguans working in the factory in Esteli. It must give Jonathan Drew great sastifaction knowing he has had such a positive, liberating impact on the lives of these great people. I salute you Jonathan Drew.

  • Pacman357

    Well…if you are on decent terms with the Nicaraguan government and don’t fear repercussions, how about Sandy Neesta? For explanation, just see the history of the Sandanistas in Nicaragua.

  • Josmith

    Cigar Guy’s name suggestion – The General

  • Carlos

    Dapper Drew – Although very sophisticated now, he’s held a variety of jobs in his life. From a fireman, dj, enlisted in the army, and now retired from golf etc. Now he enjoys a quality Drew Estate cigar and kicking back with his friends. Nothing is better to him than lighting up a Liga Privada No. 9 and enjoying his favorite scotch on a summer evening. That’s living the high life!

  • Juan J. Lopez

    St. Drew the patron Saint of tobacco.

    Watching over “The Rebirth of Cigars,” he ensures bountiful crops to all tobacco growers. He also watches over all involved in making fine cigars from the smallest field worker to the best fabrica worker. He blesses all he comes in contact with the power of fine cigars. Finally, Ensures cigar infusion is the future of the cigar industry. Leaving us to believe without his gentle touch there wouldn’t be a smokable cigar out there.

  • Baparooski

    So did anyone win???

  • Big John Holden

    My name is John Holden and this guy should be named Holden because I am “the” DE cigar guy. OK, so you guys at the factory don’t recognize my name or even remember meeting me so here is another sugestion. HEPHAISTOS was the great Olympian god of fire, metalworking, stonemasonry and the art of sculpture. He was usually depicted as a bearded man holding hammer and tongs–the tools of a smith–and riding a donkey. The donkey is quite the funny image if you ask me and the name, HEPHAISTOS, adds a hint if intellect to your crew. I mean perez works for the company so how high brow can your HR department be? OK, so that does not workm because you guys at Drew Estates don’t read or write (much); and your customers still walk on their knuckles ot hey would stop paying over $10 a stick for something that does not suck back. Ouch, was that a slight on the ladies out there, sorry.

    Now there is “Winston” as in Churchhill, Maimonides, Dr. Smoke, Mr. FLavor like Mr. Peanut for Planters, and my 2 personal favorites, LARRY (from extraordinary) and PEREZ……………hands down……………..PEREZ or LARRY. nOW SEND ME MY FREE STUFF AND A FEW BOXES OF THE T-52 YUMMIES.

  • Ipyramus

    Si Cigar gets it

  • Big John Holden

    First your name in Camacho so that makes me suspicious. Next the name is tooooooo gay. Interesting story line, but the name must be changed to protect the inocent.

  • Thediscobiscuit

    I would name this guy Kostya just because I like the name. Maybe he came from Russia to learn more about cigars and there evolution. He realized that even though cigar making has a history…He wondered about it’s future. He decided to mix things up by removing the old men and stuffiness from the cigar image. He decided to work for Drew Estate a company who provides some of the most unique cigars out there.

    PS I love your cigars…lol
