Drew Estate Cigars Debuts iPhone App

Monday, December 12 2011

MIAMI, FL – Drew Estate Inc. announced today that they have launched a Drew Estate iPhone app. The app is free of charge, and incorporates the following features:

• Browse Drew Estate’s cigar brands, including description, size, and quantity information
• Find nearby stores that carry Drew Estate brands
• Visit the Kult Shop, Drew Estate’s online store, to purchase unique Drew Estate branded merchandise
• Browse through photos and videos from Drew Estate’s Flickr and YouTube accounts
• Browse Drew Estate’s Facebook, Twitter and blog posts
• Find Drew Estate events based on location
• Browse through details, photos and videos from Drew Estate’s Cigar Safari
• Read Drew Estate’s story, written by founders Jonathan Drew and Marvin Samel, including pictures
• Manage subscriptions to "From Under the Bridge", the official Drew Estate newsletter

Drew Estate built the app from the ground up, customizing the features to suit their needs. A dedicated iPad and Android app will follow in the coming weeks.
When asked about the reasoning behind Drew Estate’s decision to develop an app, company co-founder Jonathan Drew said, “I believe the new trend of mobile phones and devices replacing computers is something that can’t be ignored, and we at Drew Estate wanted to be the first cigar manufacturer to enter the mobile app market. We are very active online through social networking and our website, so the choice to develop a dedicated app was an easy decision.”

Marvin Samel, Drew Estate co-founder, had this to say: “Most of us at Drew Estate already use iPhones on a daily basis, and we wanted an app that would not only let us communicate with our fans but also allow them to find our products quickly and easily. We’ve had a store locator on our site for years, but the app’s Store Locator takes it one step further and makes the process of finding a local tobacconist that carries our cigars that much simpler.”

To download the app, use the link below from your iPhone, or use the keywords “Drew Estate” in the App Store.
