Nosotros Cigar Brand Discontinued
Gregory Mottola
Posted: September 27, 2010

The Nosotros brand of Nicaraguan cigars has been officially discontinued. A collaboration between Illusione brand owner Dion Giolito and Jonathan Drew, the co-founder of Drew Estate, the short-lived Nosotros line was released at the 2009 IPCPR trade show but did not officially go on sale until the Spring of 2010.

Giolito released this statement today announcing the end of the cigar brand, saying the move was effective immediately:

"Illusione cigars will no longer participate in the Nosotros brand project with Jonathan Drew DBA Drew Estate. After two and a half years, terms for a product delivery date still could not be negotiated. The Nosotros brand/trademark dies in the Drew Estate Factory as per contractual agreement, and will not be made outside of the factory where it originated."

Giolito declined to comment any further on the matter.

When asked for comment, Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate said, "It was an interesting experience."

These are good smokes...hate to see them go. Sounds like some personality conflicts.

What Jonathan Drew said on another forum today regarding the termination:

Re: Just got this press release from Illusione
 

I was not impressed with them especially at the price they were selling at.

Re: Just got this press release from Illusione
 

Same here, I would rather spend the $20 extra and grab a box of the Epernay Le Matins (at least I think that's what the ones that come in boxes instead of bundles are called xD NHC takes forever to load on my phone, so I can't check) :tu

:tpd:
I bought one each for a friend and myself to try.What a waste of 24 dollars.

Re: Just got this press release from Illusione
 

These were crap. Good riddance.

Re: Just got this press release from Illusione
 

So you're saying there were definitely no Sir Winnie, eh?

Re: Just got this press release from Illusione
 

I was kinda trying to get a feel for how he feels about them too.

:r

Re: Just got this press release from Illusione
 

I'll be the oddball. I liked them. I have a few left from a fee different orders. Far from complex and far from strong or full flavored but rather a medium one/two dimensional cigars that was a pleasure to smoke.

I don't remember paying a ridiculous amount for the sticks but I get lost sometimes. If they are that expensive then I'd say their certainly not a value smoke but nonetheless, a stick I enjoy smoking.
