A healthy skepticism is always healthy, imo. I can imagine as the two cultures start to mingle, the will be a certain amount of "Clash".
A true perfectionist is never understood, nor is he appreciated by 99% of his associates. That, of course, is my experience.
I think, ultimately, if Drew is really, and I mean 1000% in charge keeping the brand quality up, then you have the possibility maintaining or actually
getting better with current lines, and exciting new releases.
There is a reason Fuente and Padron are who and what they are. Passion and no compromise.
This Pappy smoke better be commensurate, and complementary with, the Bourbon. If it turns out to be another gimicky, forgettable cigar, then I would predict that their future is fucked if they consequently don't wake up. I have faith in JD. I just hope he doesn't turn out to be a voice crying in the wilderness.
