By far my favorite Unico release from Liga. Perfect dimensions and ring gauge is right up my alley. Bold flavors that stick around on the palate for a while without the pepper/spice being so dominant it makes your eyes water. Perfectly balanced blend and one I have to keep telling myself to pace myself with since these can be rather difficult to come by sometimes. Each years release is just a magnificent as the last. Highly recommend especially for you Liga lovers!!

Spicy, creamy and delicious. Full bodied with a decent strength level. Definitely and celebratory stick and top quality which is to be expected from the Liga line. Would buy again.

Gosto bastante do blend da marca. Charutos encorpados e combinam bastante com um Bourbon ou conhaque. Este já fumei um e está junto do liga privada n9 como um dos meus favoritos .
