Liga Privada (Drew Estates) Unico Series "Feral" flying pig (Perfecto 5-3/8 x 60)
This will be a short review of a cigar that was given to me by a friend. Unfortunately, I was not in a position to be able to take my usually photos of the smoking experience. Regardless, here is my review of what I thought about the "Flying Pig"!
Pre-light; Was very cedar-y and light smelling, slight spice and chocolate, smooth coffee bean, draw is loose, cigar is very light in the hand, great curly pig-tail cap, tapering foot (classic perfecto shape, but big!) Dark black wrapper, soft feel/lightly packed tobacco.
First 3rd; After I cut of the pigtail, it took a re-light to get it going properly. tons of smoke coming off the foot, medium body, slight pepper, nice rounded coffee flavour, full mouth feel, very flavourful smoke.
Second 3rd; Coffee, sweet chocolate and pepper notes bounce back and forth all the way through, nice cedar wood flavour, creamy smoke, still lots of smoke off the foot, burn is nice and straight, wonderful aged tobacco taste.
Last 3rd; More of the same with the classic roasted nut flavour coming in, flavours continue to move between the coffee and spice notes, still lots of smoke, stays cool all the way to the nub.
Final notes; This thing is a beast with killer flavours! It required no touch ups along the way, the smoke just kept pouring off the foot. Lot's of smoke output after the draw, flavours were complex and kept coming and going throughout the smoke. These are box worthy for sure, although not the cheapest cigar out there. I have seen some prices online and they are around $200 for a box of 10. Well worth it though. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a great complex smoke that will keep you interested all the way to the nub!...I was kinda sad when this one ended :(
My rating; 9 out of 10
