Sometimes there is beauty in simplicity, and the 20 Acre Farm Robusto nailed that with the name. Right away, you know what the cigar is about, and it’s about a blend that some of the tobacco used is grown on a 20-acre farm. While the farm is located in Clermont, Fla. and owned by Jeff Borysiewicz—best known as the owner of Corona Cigar Co., a chain of stores in Florida—the cigars are made by Drew Estate.

The 20 Acre Farm was released as part of its Freestyle Live events that they started in early 2021 with the release of the Undercrown 10 line. The premise is this: Buy a pack of unbanded, unnamed cigars along with some Freestyle Live branded swag. About a month later, Drew Estate hosts a virtual event where the new line is announced. During the second Freestyle Live event, Drew Estate announced the 20 Acre Farm and raffled off prizes, most notably, a Jeep Wrangler.

While the tobacco grown in Florida might be the inspiration for the name, tobaccos from four countries were blended together to create this cigar. It is quite a delicate affair that is prone to cracking, however, the blend produces a delicate profile of nuanced flavors that are smooth, plentiful, and most importantly, ones that complement each other well. — Brian Burt
