Partnering with the prestigious Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua, Robert Holt and his wife, Sharon, started Southern Draw cigars, fusing his Southern roots with Nicaragua’s rich tradition of cigar production. Holt chose the name specifically to illustrate the company’s ideals: Southern culture combined with an effortless “draw” to represent well-crafted sticks. Through a foundation of family, faith, and fellowship, they promote a “culture of honor,” one conversation and one cigar at a time. Dedicated to integrity, consistency, and sustainability, each Southern Draw cigar is blended and handcrafted from Cuban-seed tobaccos in small, limited production batches by AJ Fernandez’s talented team of torcedores and buncheros. This approach affords the brand superlative control over the entire production process, resulting in a diverse portfolio of cigars with excellent smoking qualities and a wide range of intriguing flavor profiles.
