Drew Estate today announced the shipment of their seasonal Flying Pig vitola. The lines receiving shipments are Liga Privada No. 9 and T52, Undercrown Maduro, Shade and Sun Grown, and Kentucky Fire Cured. The Flying Pig vitola is a very popular vitola made famous by Drew Estate featuring a 100mm x 60 ring gauge and signature pigtail cap. The shape is based on a photograph of an 1895 cigar salesman’s size selection case. It is a very difficult shape to make and is limited to only the most skilled buncheros and rolleras at the factory.
Drew Estate is bringing another addition to the Liga Privada line this week at the IPCPR trade show, and this is a big one. The new blend is dubbed H99 and uses a Connecticut Corojo wrapper. This marks the first new regular production line to the Liga Privada family since the T52 in 2009.
Today, Drew Estate has announced the pre-release of the Liga Privada No. 9 CORONA VIVA exclusively for the Cigars International Super-Store in Hamburg, Pennsylvania. The event is the 15th annual CIGARfest. The #9 Corona Viva has the same Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf Oscuro Wrapper, Plantation grown Brazilian Mata Fina Binder, and Nicaraguan and Honduran Fillers as the original blend, but like the Undercrown Corona Viva, released in 2012, has increased Ligero for a stronger cigar.

·"As noted in my tasting notes, each flavor was just as I expected . Dark chocolate and coffee with a slight earthiness all creating a notable smoking experience . I'd easily give this a 95. Great cigar that is box worthy for sure. " -Kevin J. (maninblack77)

·"This was a really nice practically full bodied cigar with rich flavors and enough nicotine to show you who's boss... That being said, the flavors were not something to destroy my palate and the finish was short enough that I could have smoked another cigar and still been able to enjoy it. I'm ready to purchase a few of these to keep on hand." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

Definitely a box where the smoke that I would buy multiples of!" -John A. (Bostoneo)
