Drew Estate Discontinues 100+ SKUs Including La Vieja Habana, Undercrown Sun Grown Lines

Drew Estate has informed retailers that it is beginning to trim its portfolio by discontinuing more than 100 SKUs, notably including the entirety of the La Vieja Habana and Undercrown Sun Grown lines.

“The premium cigar industry continues to face many challenges, including lingering supply chain disruptions and production difficulties across the board,” said David Lazarus, svp of sales for Drew Estate, in a letter to retailers. “Complications such as these have led us to perform a deep-dive study of our entire product portfolio to gain a deeper understanding of the performance of every one of the brands/SKUs we offer. Based on that assessment, we are discontinuing certain brands/SKUs to put more focus on providing you with the products that turn every day and so that we may continue to introduce new and exciting innovative products that your customers will enjoy.”

In total, 106 SKUs are being discontinued. Some of these are special packaging options or samplers, meaning you will still be able to purchase the cigars in different packaging options. For many cigars on the list, Drew Estate is discontinuing the cigars themselves and they will no longer be available for purchase. In addition, eight of them are from Joya de Nicaragua, which Drew Estate distributes in the U.S.
