News: Drew Estate’s Flying Pigs Soar for Seasonal Release

Drew Estate’s Flying Pigs Soar for Seasonal Release

Drew Estate announces the Spring Seasonal Release of their infamous Flying Pig vitola, including Liga Privada No. 9 and T52, Undercrown Maduro, Shade and Sun Grown, as well as Kentucky Fire Cured.

 

The Flying Pig is one of the most desired vitolas in the company’s portfolio, presented in a 100mm x 60 ring gauge and is a favorite amongst cigar enthusiasts worldwide. The shape is based on 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 required specialized training of the buncheros and rolleras at La Gran Fabrica in Esteli.

 

From the Wynwood Safehouse, Jonathan Drew Founder and President of Drew Estate notes, “It is such a challenging time in the world right now, incredibly difficult for everyone in every corner of the world.  To those who have lost loved ones, we especially feel your pain.  To the first responders and their families, nurses, doctors, police, fireman, hospital staff, truck drivers, and others who are fighting the good fight – we are with you and love you.  We spark up a Flying Pig in your honor and salute you!!!”

 

This seasonal release commences with the Kentucky Fire Cured Flying Pig, featuring a Kentucky seed tobacco, grown and fire cured in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, accompanied with Nicaraguan and Brazilian fillers. The cigar is wrapped with a Mexican San Andres cover leaf that adds depth and balance to the blend profile. The Kentucky Fire Cured Pigs are presented in 12 count boxes and have an MSRP of $115.17.

 

The Undercrown Maduro, Undercrown Shade, and Undercrown Sun Grown Flying pigs are packaged in 12 count boxes with an MSRP of $153.17, with Undercrown Shade and Undercrown Sun Grown Flying Pigs exclusive to Drew Diplomat Retailers. The Undercrown Maduro features a Mexican San Andres Maduro wrapper, Connecticut Stalk Cut and Sun Cured Habano binder, and Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan Habano filler leaves. The Undercrown Shade Flying Pig features an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over a Sumatra binder with Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. The Undercrown Sun Grown features a Sun Grown Sumatra wrapper with a Connecticut River Valley Stalk Cut and Sun Cured Habano binder with fillers exclusively from Nicaragua.

 

Rounding out the release, the Liga Privada No. 9 and Liga Privada T52 Flying Pigs are packaged in 12 count boxes with an MSRP of $181.17 and available exclusively to Drew Diplomat retailers – shipping in May. The No. 9 features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Plantation Grown Brazilian Mata Fina Binder and filler leaves from Nicaragua and Honduras.

News: Drew Estate Unveils Herrera Esteli TAA Exclusive for 2020

Here’s some news from Drew Estate. I suppose it’s hard to say when you’ll be able to see these on your tobacconist’s shelves at this point, but give your local TAA shop a call and, hopefully, they are offering curbside service or shipping. I’m quite looking forward to trying a Broadleaf Herrerea Esteli!

Drew Estate unveils today the 2020 Herrera Esteli TAA Exclusive release.

 

The Herrera Esteli TAA Exclusive is a 6 x 52 toro featuring a rich Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, bold Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and lush Nicaraguan fillers. Blended by Drew Estate Master Blender Willy Herrera exclusively for the TAA, this cigar is a testament to the complexity and quality behind the Herrera Esteli line. For 2020, the boxes have been re-designed to complement the other Herrera Esteli lines and also feature the bold red banding that signifies Willy Herrera’s exclusive projects.

 

From La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua, Drew Estate Master Blender Willy Herrera notes, “My goal with this blend was to take the lush Connecticut Broadleaf capa tobacco and apply my Miami style to the blend. This cigar shines right from the cold draw and gets better with every puff. I’m thrilled that now the boxes match the rest of the Herrera lineup, they will pop on the shelves.”

 

The Herrera Esteli TAA Exclusive is packaged in 12 count boxes with an MSRP of $147.17/box and will be shipping immediately. A total of 800 boxes have been produced for this year.

So, please do like Chuck and hit up our DDRP events … and “go get some!”
