Liga Privada: #9 Robusto Cigars

Product Number: 007-084-0054

The Liga Privada No.9 has its origins, circa 2005, in a project by Steve Saka to come up with a cigar that would both suit him as a personal, daily smoke, and that would have a wide enough appeal so that he could also feel confident handing samples out to his peers in the industry. After a great deal of blending and testing, they settled on one of the umpteenth sub-variations of base blend variation number 9 — abbreviated for the sake of simplicity to "No.9".

The only problem was that while Drew Estate could simplify the name, they couldn't simplify the blend without losing its magic, and the No.9 called for a combination very specific ingredients from seven different farms. So specific were the ingredients that their availability meant this blend would only see release as an on-again, off-again, and always limited offering.

Strong, without pushing into overpowering, rich and complex, this blend met its original goal of earning a wide appeal. even if regular availability has never been in the cards.

Product: Liga Privada #9 Robusto
This is a cigar that balances strength and complexity, offering rich layers of flavor. The overall profile primarily features coffee notes, subtle earthiness with peppery undertones, and a dry texture that combines to evoke a "smoked sock" impression—not recommended for indoor smoking. It is particularly suited for seasoned cigar enthusiasts who favor bold profiles. The burn performance is mediocre due to loose construction, and the final third carries a risk of overheating, requiring careful pacing. Pairing with single malt whisky or iced coffee is recommended to enhance the sweetness and aromatic depth...Read More

Occasionally you find a product that lives up to the hype, this is one of those products. I found this cigar to be silky smooth from start to finish. I got leather, earthy and subtle spicy notes while smoking this beauty. If you have been hesitating because of the price point, buy a single, you won't be disappointed....Read More

Uneven draw and burn, but exactly what a Premium cigar should be. Earthy and herbal flavors. Rich and complex indeed. A must !
Great experience

First of all, the primary taste does not taste as strong as the color it is. Very gentle, just like a heavy kiss of a beautiful girl. I can only pick up one shortcoming which the ash is not quite tight.
