The Liga Privada Único Serie is Drew Estate's "one blend, one size" program, where the blend is built uniquely around a single vitola. The Feral Flying Pig was the third Flying Pig Drew Estate released, following the No. 9 and T52 Flying Pigs, but instead of being a variation on an existing blend it was given an entirely new blend of its own and folded into the Único Serie. It reached shops in December 2011 with an initial run of 4,500 boxes of 10, released in waves rather than as a one-time batch, and has been made in small lots ever since.
A Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper — the same capa used on Liga Privada No. 9, taken one stalk position lower (viso) — over a plantation-grown Brazilian Mata Fina binder and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Handmade at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua. Figurado/perfecto format with the trademark Flying Pig pigtail cap, 5 3/8 x 60. Box count: 10 cigars.
Opens with classic Liga flavors of espresso, dark chocolate, leather and cedar, with a touch of spice on the tongue and black pepper drifting in and out on the retrohale. The cold draw leans toward coffee, wood and background spice. The thick perfecto concentrates the smoke, and the body builds steadily through the cigar rather than arriving full-force.
A long sit — approximate smoking time runs 90 to 120 minutes — so save it for an unhurried evening or a special occasion rather than a quick break.
