Yesterday I happened to be in Havertown, PA dropping something off at my daughter’s house and stopped by one of my favorite cigar shops, the Wooden Indian Tobacco Shop, and figured it might be a good idea to do a quick video to help them promote an event they have coming up on September 15, 2018. It’s their 8th annual Drew Estate Charity event, and these events are a very big deal. I’ve been to a bunch of these events, and a Drew Estate event in 2009 was my introduction to store owner Dave Mayer, the store (in the old location), and 
Marvin Samel of Drew Estate, as well as Liga Privada cigars. In the past, the Wooden Indian’s events have raised more money for Drew Estate Charities than any other events in the country, this year all fundraising is going to Operation: Cigars For Warriors. There are amazing prizes offered, often there are original works of art by Jessi Flores and his Subcultures Studios team, rare and unusual Drew Estate cigars, and other goodies, including the two Liga Privada branded wineadors you see in the video below. People come to this event from far and wide, and I’ve seen people bid on auction items by phone, it’s that big a deal. Check out the short video with Wooden Indian General Manager Dan Wood (I don’t think the store was named after him). You’ll want to watch the Wooden Indian’s Facebook and Instagram feeds over the next week as the tease various raffle prizes and specials ahead of the event.
In the past I’ve reported on this event after the fact, what good does that do? If you have the ability to make it to this event, it’s not to be missed, I’ve been to most of them and it’s an amazing time. I’ll likely be stopping by, I hope to see some of you there, and if you can’t make it to the event and you fond yourself in the greater Philadelphia area, this is a shop and lounge you need to visit, the selection is outstanding, the service is top-notch and the lounge is the best around. Even if my daughter didn’t live a mile away I’d find a reason to visit frequently! Special Thanks to John for being the cameraman!
That’s all for today, until the next time,
