Drew Estate is releasing a new Liga Privada Único Serie cigar, but it will only be available at two places in the United States, and both happen to be Liga Privada Lounges.

The Liga Privada Único Pancetta is a 4 3/4 x 50 belicoso that uses the Connecticut stalk cut and cured habano wrapper utilized in the Liga Privada T52, with a Brazilian mata fina binder and fillers leaves from Nicaragua and Honduras, the same as what is found in the Liga Privada Unico Feral Flying Pig.

The cigar comes priced at $299 for a box of 24 cigars, or approximately $12.46 per cigar. It will begin shipping on Oct. 19 to Wooden Indian Tobacco Shop in Havertown, Penn. and Barrister Cigars in Union, N.J. Both retailers will be hosting launch events once the cigar is available.

“These two stores have a deep connection to the earliest days of Drew Estate,” said Jonathan Drew, founder and president of Drew Estate, via a press release. “They have stood by us through thick and thin, acting as true ambassadors for our brands. That’s why we chose to share with them the Pancetta, this blend will blow you away!”

The company is calling it a once-a-year release, with no further information about production numbers available.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
