An Afternoon with Marvin Samel (Part Four)
Welcome back to another episode of Draper Dialogue. For this episode we got to spend An Afternoon with Marvin Samel of Drew Estate.

Los Regalos Quetzal by Emilio Cigars
It truly is a great time to be a cigar smoker.

Brick House Maduro by JC Newman Cigar Co.
The Brick House by JC Newman Cigar Co. is not a stranger here on Stogie Review. The Brick House has made several appearances in episodes of Week in Smoke.

Available in one size, a 5×50 robusto. I believe the MSRP on it is around …
