Liga Privada translates to "private blend" — the line began as then-president Steve Saka's personal, not-for-sale blends, and T52 is the fuller-bodied follow-up to Liga Privada No. 9, launched in 2009. Its defining element is an exclusive Connecticut River Valley stalk-cut sun-grown Habano wrapper, a leaf Drew Estate dubbed "stalk cut habano" because the entire stalk is cut and hung to dry in the barn rather than the leaves being primed individually. The T52 was named Cigar Coop's 2009 Cigar of the Year, and the Toro carries a 90-point rating from Cigar Aficionado.
A Connecticut River Valley stalk-cut, sun-grown Habano wrapper over a plantation-grown Brazilian Mata Fina binder and Honduran and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Handmade at Drew Estate's La Gran Fabrica in Estelí, Nicaragua. Toro format, 6 x 52. Box count: 24 cigars.
A bold, richly layered smoke built on espresso, dark chocolate, earth and leather, with the stalk-cut Habano wrapper pushing cedar and black pepper spice alongside. The finish is deep and lingering, and the Toro's length gives the blend room to stretch out from its peppery opening into earthier territory.
Alcoholic: Bold bourbon. Non-Alcoholic: Strong dark roast coffee.
Evening — the classic T52 expression.
