Liga Privada: Unico Serie Dirty Rat Cigars

In their continual quest for exquisite tobacco and vitola combinations, Drew Estate creates hundreds of samples, with only a select number being deemed worthy of the Liga Privada brand. Yet, even within this select number, most of the blends aren't able to form their own stand-alone series due to tobacco limitations and production costs and, thus, never find their way to consumers.

With the handmade Único Serie line, Liga Privada has gathered all of those select blends and featured them in one highly unique and limited series — representing some of the best sticks Liga Privada has to offer and the personal favorite blends of many of the folks at Drew Estate. Presented here is the Dirty Rat cigar: The idea behind these sticks is a Corona made with seven different tobacco types — five distinct fillers married to a select wrapper and binder. For the wrapper, the Dirty Rat features a Connecticut River Valley leaf, the same used in the T52 line. The binder, then, is Brazilian, with the filler being a mix of Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos. Perfectly constructed and featuring an oily texture and flavors of peppery spice, dark chocolate, cedar, and earthy notes.
