For those of you who live under a rock, you may not know Pedro Gomez, the friendliest face at Drew Estate. If you have had the pleasure of speaking to Pedro, you know he is always in great spirits. He has a humble attitude, loves all things tobacco, and speaks in such a way that you could chat with him for hours. We had the opportunity to sit down with Pedro and discuss everything about Drew Estate, Miami, and Pedro himself. As you can imagine, we covered a ton of material, so this is part one of three of our interview with Pedro. Sit back, light a cigar, and come on a journey with us while we chat with Pedro.
This month, we wanted to feature a self-made artisan with massive talent. His jewelry is masculine, but beautiful. His designs have been requested and custom-made for some big names in the music industry, and his passion for the art of silversmithing is legendary on its own. Please meet Paul Chrzanowski, the creator, owner, and genius designer behind Buffalo Bolt Jewelry.

Here at Cigar World, we wanted to introduce you to this brand because not only is the packaging delightful, but the story behind the brand and the young founder/owner, Nick, is inspiring.

October marks the start of Spooky Season, and whether you are a believer in the paranormal or not, this is a great time to enjoy the beloved tradition of telling ghost stories. We could have just put up a story about popular cigars for Halloween or the best Halloween cigars, but instead, we wanted to put a Cigar World spin on this for you.
As a cigar enthusiast if you are in Miami, you would be remiss to miss out on Little Havana. It is the Cuban center of Miami. You’ve got Cuban food, Cuban, coffee, and many cigar shops.
Discover the story of Giselle Herrera, daughter of El Titan de Bronze owner Sandy Cobas, and a rising force in the cigar industry for this edition of Cigar World's Women Crush Wednesday.
We feature many new cigar launches, but rarely do we call out a new accessory. Let’s get real: in the cigar industry, there isn’t usually something new that pops up that is completely different than anything we have seen before (other than those insanely awesome Cohiba humidors!) At PCA this year, we found a company that is breaking the mold with its innovative travel humidors. Check out our interview with the Colonel himself and learn more about their Stogie Mag.
For this edition of Cigar World's Artisan's Corner, we are celebrating International Coffee Day with Rocky from Dead City Coffee.
For our next Cigar World: Must See Neighborhoods feature we are featuring Brickell. This neighborhood feels like the ultra-modern part of Miami with its glittering skyscrapers, art galleries and luxury condos that overlook the Biscayne Bay.
