Cohiba HVC Black Friday, Reinado and Iron Pigs, Bacon and Flying Pig Cigars

We went to a baseball game last night, but more on that later, lets recap a few cigars I smoked earlier in the week. At the Atlantic City Cigar Festival I saw an old friend, Sean Williams, who was handing out Cohiba Rivieras at his booth.  I met Sean back around 2011, I think, at the Delaware Cigar Festival, or the IPCPR show, I forget which. I do remember seeing him at the IPCPR show and he introduced me to his friend Willy Herrera, who was helping him blend some of his cigars at the time.… Continue reading »

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

Here’s some news from Drew Estate. I might have a Liga # 9 Flying Pig floating around from 2011 someplace, so these have been around for a while. I know I have a few others too. It’s a neat vitola, Steve Saka found it in an old Cuban book of cigars from the late 1800s or something like that. There’s a bar in my town called the Flying Pig Saloon, but they really have no idea about the cigars, but they have some great sandwiches! I sure wish they’d make a Nica Rustica Flying Pig! 

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.… Continue reading »
