Southern Draw

Southern Draw is a family affair, and a veteran-owned one. Robert and Sharon Holt started the Texas-based brand in 2014, building it out with relatives and close friends, and the name ties their Southern roots to the easy draw of a well-made cigar. The whole portfolio is blended and rolled at the AJ Fernandez factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Most of the lines are named for people and plants close to the family: Kudzu, the Habano Oscuro that started it all, Rose of Sharon for Robert’s wife, and Jacob’s Ladder for their son, a Pennsylvania Broadleaf with real punch. Built on aged Cuban-seed tobaccos and ranging from mild to full, Southern Draw cigars carry a personal story in every blend.
