I had the pleasure to meet Johnathan Drew, founder of Drew Estates, headquartered in Miami. In late 2006, Drew began construction of a new factory. La Gran Fabrica; at over 96,000 sq. feet, it is the largest cigar factory in Nicaragua and one of the five largest premium cigar factories in the world. La Gran Fabrica turnes out about approximately 70,000 hand-rolled cigars every day.
