News: 5 Pigs Fly for Father’s Day at Drew Diplomat Retailers

Here’s some news from my friends at Drew Estate. Last week we went out for an early dinner at a local bar called the Flying Pig Saloon, which has great sandwiches, along with an extensive beer menu. They have flying pigs all over the place! Check it out if you’re ever in Malvern, PA!

Drew Estate announces today the Holiday release of Liga Privada & Undercrown Flying Pigs to Drew Diplomat retailers in the United States for Father’s Day.

The Flying Pig is one of the most sought-after sizes in the company’s portfolio, presented in a 100mm x 60 ring gauge parejo vitola and is a favorite amongst cigar enthusiasts. The shape is based off a photograph of an 1895 cigar salesman’s size selection case. It is one of the most complicated vitolas to manufacture due to the unique size and signature pig-tail, which requires specialized training of the buncheros and rolleras at the factory.The Liga Privada No. 9 Flying pig and Liga Privada T52 Flying Pig is manufactured at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua. The No. 9 features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Plantation Grown Brazilian Mata Fina Binder and filler leaves from Nicaragua and Honduras.

Both are packaged in 12 count boxes with an MSRP of $181.20 and a 2018 total annual production of 2500 boxes.

I think that the T-52 is one of the best cigars that I’ve ever smoked. I liked the #9 and I also smoke the Undercrown, but the T-52 stands head and shoulders above the others, in my opinion. The Undercrown is an excellent and affordable substitute. I’m glad to see that Drew is expanding in the retail market.
