Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig
Discover the exceptional Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig by Drew Estate-a cigar revered for its bold character, meticulous craftsmanship, and iconic shape. Inspired by a rare 1895 cigar salesman’s catalog, the Flying Pig vitola is a short, thick perfecto (4 x 60) with a bulbous middle and signature pigtail cap, delivering an unforgettable, amped-up smoking experience for true aficionados.
Each Flying Pig is handcrafted in Nicaragua using a jet-black, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper aged over 18 months. The binder is premium Brazilian Mata Fina, and the filler blend features select Cuban-seed tobaccos from Honduras and Nicaragua. This intricate seven-tobacco blend is aged for a full year after rolling, resulting in a rich, complex profile.
The flavor journey is lush and dynamic, offering deep notes of dark chocolate, espresso, leather, cedar, and subtle spice, with hints of earth and fruit. The smoke is dense and creamy, with a full-bodied strength that remains balanced and never overwhelming. Construction is flawless, ensuring an even burn and excellent draw, while the unique shape intensifies both flavor and aroma.

I’ve smoked the flying pig vitola enough time now to know that it’s not really for me. Never once has the construction been good, and often it falls short of decent. This one fell into the decent category, lots of touch ups, a relight, and it just never drew quite right. When I was able to get a nice mouthful of smoke I got wha I expect from the no. 9 – dark cocoa, black pepper, chili, black coffee. It’s excellent tobacco, I just wish they’d stop wasting it on this vitola. I’ll take a robusta or toro any day.
