 While maintaining the respect for the age old methods of rolling cigars, Drew Estate has brought a wave of new energy and creative inspiration to the cigar industry and to its own blends that have culminated in its immensely popular cigar lines, which include ACID, Natural, Ambrosia, Subculture, Industrial Press and La Vieja Habana. In less than a decade, Drew Estate has grown from manufacturing cigars in a second-story shop on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan to producing millions of cigars each year.
Drew Estate got its humble start by developing a house brand for its retail location at the World Trade Center Mall. “It was made by Antonio Almanzar, a master roller, from his small store called La Rosa on 30th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan,” Drew says. “It was an instant hit at our store, and the blend was different than all others at the time, as we used a Cameroon binder that really added a level of sophistication. With our entire booth packed in the back of our rented van, enough smokes to last us the trip down, and barely enough gas money to get back, Marvin and I drove our entire booth down to the 1997 RTDA Show in Orlando. And thus began the formal birth of Drew Estate.”

Thomas Kelly High School, Chicago, IL.
It is the mission of Thomas Kelly High School to provide students with engaging and rigorous curriculum, which will ensure that students excel in literacy, preparing them to be successful contributors to society.
"As we move through the technical revolution and toward a global economy, education is more important now than it ever has been. Our motto here at Kelly is "Knowledge is Power," which holds a lot of truth. The mission of any educator is to pass knowledge on to his or her students. This knowledge must be of the past (for the sake of history), of the present (for current events are relevant), and for the future (for the one thing that is constant in life is change.)
Here at Kelly, the administration, faculty, staff, and even the community are working together to ensure that you, our students, are afforded every opportunity to receive an education of the highest quality, to ensure that you are prepared to succeed in your future endeavors. The new addition and other renovations that have taken place recently are only monetary improvements. The real task of educating people takes people, and here at Kelly, I believe that those whose task is to teach are committed, dedicated, and fully capable of making this happen. So, please take advantage of what we have to offer. After all, you are our future."

10 Cane
Rum lovers, listen up: here is a brand new rum that’s not from a newbie spirit maker. The liquor division of the luxury brand conglomerate LVMH, Moët Hennessy USA, pulled out all the stops to bring you a fresh, crisp, light and almost-clear rum.
Breaking with the tradition of absorbing an established prestigious brand, the company built this rum from scratch. After growing their own sugar cane in the fields of sunny Trinidad, they set up shop using imported Charentaise pot stills and Limousin oak barrels to age the rum. Only pure sugar cane juice is used for this rum—not leftover molasses like with other brands. The cane juice undergoes a long six-day fermentation and double distillation to create its potent but smooth taste.
Consider this a terroir rum in that its fresh natural ingredients bring out the rum’s best flavors. Neat on the nose, this spirit suggests flavors of vanilla, typical of sugar cane. A hint of sweetness lingers on the palate during its long finish, which carries flavors of sugar cane and oak. Although 10 Cane is one of the few rums that could be consumed alone, we also liked it in a daiquiri or mojito, where the rum elevates the taste of the cocktail.

This is a family owned business that believes in making you feel welcome whether you've been visiting for 10 minutes, or you are a regular of 10 years. This is an experience that is not to be missed.

West Suburban Bank
 Since 1962, West Suburban Bank has offered a level of service and responsiveness that the mega-banks, despite their posturing, can never hope to attain. Our employees, from our tellers to our key decision makers, live in the communities we serve, so we understand the needs of our communities and our customers. And, because decisions are made locally, not at some far removed corporate headquarters, we can react quickly when those needs change.
Our investments also focus on the community. You won't find overseas investments or foreign market speculation on our balance sheet. Instead, you'll find the loans that have helped secure or improve the homes and businesses in the communities we serve.
As businesses see their banking relationships become less personal and less responsive due to the increased pace of bank mergers and buyouts, many have been turning to community banks to recapture the level of service they once knew and still deserve.

The Valley of Chicago Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Van Rensselaer Lodge of Perfection
The degrees of the Lodge of Perfection are commonly called the Ineffable Degrees. Many references, scenes, and characters recall and amplify the three Symbolic (Blue) Lodge Degrees.
Paul Revere Lodge #998
 There have been three mergers in our history. The first was with Legion Lodge No. 1037 on December 20, 1967 followed by Edgewater Lodge No. 901 on November 15, 1969. Finally Casimir Pulaski Lodge No. 1167 merged with us on September 15, 1993.
Visitors sometimes ask about the choice of Paul Revere as our namesake. In answer to an inquiry, Worshipful Brother Walter S. Hutchins, one of the lodge's charter members, stated that there was no particular significance in the selection of the name Paul Revere but it might not be out of place at this point to note that Brother Hutchins was a native of New England. Regardless of the motivations of our "founding fathers," we have finally considered Brother Revere's high regard for the Fraternity a sterling example. He and his patriotic exploits are a frequent topic of conversation at our refreshments.

 LANDMARK LODGE #422
We are proud of Freemasonry and the fine character of its members. That is why we put this site together; we want to give you the opportunity to know a little bit more about the Freemasons, who we are, what we believe in and what we do. It is important for you to know that, in some Masonic Jurisdictions, those who desire membership must seek it on their own. Unfortunately, without this understanding, many qualified men have not enjoyed the special rewards of membership and fellowship in Freemasonry. But as of today we have been given the opportunity to ask qualified men to pettition and become a brother of our lodge thus making them better men through the teachings of faith, hope and charity. If after looking through our site, you have any questions, or desire to know more about Freemasonry or wish to become a member of Landmark Lodge 422 feel free to send us an email and we will be pleased to answer your questions or to obtain the answers for you.
