Drew Estate’s MUWAT EF Bait Fish is set to see national distribution after spending over five months as an exclusive to Dan Welsh’s New Havana Cigars. MUWAT EF, short for My Uzi Weighs a Ton Extra Fuerte, is a slightly stronger version of Drew Estate’s 60 RG line made at Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A., a line released last summer.

Jonathan Drew thanked Welsh for allowing Drew Estate to take Bait Fish to natural distribution, a decision Drew said he would not make without the blessing of the New Havana owner.

There is no word if and when MUWAT EF will receive another size besides the 4 x 44 Bait Fish, although Drew has publicly floated a few ideas.
