Ahead of next month’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, Drew Estate has announced four new bundle lines, each under the Factory Smokes by Drew Estate moniker.

“Our expansion in the bundle business was a decision we did not take lightly,” said Jonathan Drew, the company’s co-founder and president, in a press release. “Bundles aren’t glamorous and the efficiency required to produce them effectively is not easily reached, which is why there aren’t a ton of entrants innovating in the value priced space. This is long overdue for Drew Estate, and when we reached the production scale required to compete we knew we wanted to do what we do, and disrupt the space with an innovative, deep value line of quality smokes for a broad set of thrifty individuals.”

Each of the four lines use a different wrapper over an Indonesian binder and mixed fillers from Indonesia.
