Cigars Daily LIVE 418 + AfterParty: From Factory Floor to World Stage — Drew Estate's Pedro Gomez

He started as the gopher guy at a factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Nearly 20 years later, he's one of the most recognized faces in the entire industry. Tonight Drew Estate's Global Brand Ambassador Pedro Gomez joins us LIVE to tell his story — how a kid from humble beginnings in Nicaragua ended up becoming the voice of one of the biggest brands in the business.

My name is Tim and I'm the host of this show — but YOU are the co-host. Your comments and questions drive the episode. Settle in, grab a drink, and let's get into it.

We're going to talk about Pedro's journey from the factory floor in Estelí to traveling the world as a brand ambassador, what it's really like behind the scenes at one of the largest production facilities on the planet, and what's next for Drew Estate in 2026. We'll also get into Jonathan Drew's brand new venture — J. Sann & Son — a cigar factory, lounge, and culture center opening this spring in Miami's Wynwood district. It's a huge story and Pedro's got the inside scoop.
