Liga Privada

The box-pressed belicoso gets its second release exclusively through Casa de Montecristo’s 25 stores across the country. Drew Estate says the cigar’s profile is reminiscent of the traditional Italian roasted pork dish that it is named after.

The newest release in Drew Estate’s Liga Privada H99 Connecticut Corojo line is the largest yet, a 6 x 60 gordo with a price tag of $21.14 each. It is only being sold at Drew Diplomat Program retail partner events, and each of those retailers are limited to just three boxes per event, or 75 total cigars.

The new line is available in two sizes and offers a full-bodied profile that the company says is marked by licorice, black pepper, herbal tones, and sweet spice.

The event also included details of the next Freestyle Live event, which will include the launch of a new Deadwood cigar. Additionally, Drew Estate events this fall will feature a cigar that had previously only been available to attendees of the company’s Barn Smoker events.

This is the fifth release for the Year of the Rat, a 5 1/2 x 46 corona gorda that was once only offered at a cigar bar inside of an NHL arena.

This is the third new size for the Liga Privada 10 Aniversario Selección de Mercado, which is not sold in the U.S.

CoH Cigars is already selling the new Liga Privada Year of the Dragon, now it gets a 7 x 48 Churchill named after Chinese pork jerky.

The two new sizes join the original 6 x 52 toro size. Drew Estate only sells the Liga Privada 10 Aniversario Selección de Mercado outside of the U.S.

Drew Estate’s Year of the Dragon cigar has quietly been released.

This version was created for non-U.S. markets and is said to offer a smoother blend than the original Liga Privada 10 Aniversario.

It’s not a flying turkey. (This joke won’t make sense when searching the archives.)
