Handmade in Nicaragua, each Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig showcases a lustrous, jet-black Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper—meticulously aged for over 18 months. The premium Brazilian Mata Fina binder teams with a select Cuban-seed filler blend from Honduras and Nicaragua, all matured for a full year after rolling. This intricate composition results in intensely layered flavors, dense smoke, and a smooth, balanced finish. From the first draw, expect an evolving profile: deep cocoa and espresso, backed by dark fruit, leather, cedar, fresh earth, black pepper, and a nuanced spice medley. The signature pigtail cap adds a nostalgic, artisanal touch, while the unique shape amplifies richness and aroma.
Each Flying Pig is constructed to perfection, with consistent burns, excellent smoke output, and a draw tailored for optimal concentration of the blend’s character. While this vitola’s limited runs and acclaimed ratings (including a 93 from Halfwheel) make it highly sought-after, true devotees will appreciate its ability to deliver a modern yet classic, full-bodied experience that stands tall within the Liga Privada portfolio.

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.
