JDN going away?

[mpomario]

Is DE doing away with JDN or are they putting it out on its own? I noticed today that they have removed a few brands from their website. I really like these and would hate to see them go. Is it and FDA thing? What's up any word on the street?

Although they have very close ties, I believe JdN is an entirely separate company and that DE handles their distribution much like they do for Balmoral. Maybe that has changed.

 

[mpomario]

Ok. That would makes sense as I usually look at their lineup through Drew Diplomat.

Which ones were removed?

I don't think they were removed. I misunderstood between the diplomat and the DE website listing about what was a "DE" offering.

Joya de Nicaragua was the first cigar factory in Esteli. Drew Estate handles their distribution, JdN does production for a number of other brands (e.g. Sobremesa). They'll be around for a long time to come.

Good to know. I absolutely love the Antano.

They aren't going anywhere

I saw a picture of a antano reserve or something, wonder what deal is with that! Had a secondary band

New release from Joya de Nicaragua, it's very good.
