Drew Estate Releasing Liga Privada Flying Pigs, Velvet Rats & Tubos

Ahead of the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, Drew Estate has announced that two of its most sought after cigars will return to select accounts.

The Flying Pig will return in both No. 9 and T52 blends.  The Flying Pig is a unique 4 1/2 x 60 short perfecto vitola that features a bun cap. It was originally offered in 2009 in the No. 9 blend before becoming a T52 option one year later.

The company said that it expects to make 4,000 boxes of 12 for each blend. This is the first time either cigar has been rereleased.

In addition, for the first time, the company will sell Liga Privada No. 9 and T52 Tubos will be offered for sale. The tubos are based on the 6 x 52 parejo size for both blends.

Pricing was not announced.

The cigars will be offered only to Drew Diplomat accounts, select retailers that have access to the full Drew Estate collection of releases.

In addition, the company has announced it will once again offer Drew Diplomat accounts the Liga Privada Velvet Rat.
