A sibling, of sorts, to the Papas Fritas, the Nasty Fritas features the same chaveta cuts and trimmings used in the production of Liga Privada's No.9 and T52 lines. The "tripa corta" fillers are all hand-selected and individually sorted by hand from the finest quality tobaccos before being married to a Brazilian Mata Fina binder and enveloped by a Connecticut Broadleaf Oscuro wrapper.

A Connecticut Broadleaf Rosado wrapper completes the cigars, and all together, the blend is described by the company as "medium-to-full-bodied," offering earthy, woody notes with subtle hints of sweetness and dried fruit.

Its debut was limited to 5,000 total cigars, and, after returning in 2020 on a small scale, it was re-released in 2023 as a full-scale, regular release smoke.

A unique cigar, the Red Meat Lovers was blended specifically to pair with a good steak, a pairing that precious few cigars were expressly designed for, and which lends this blend a robust, full-bodied flavor profile. Comprising a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés Negro binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania, the Red Meat Lovers is produced at the Nicaragua American Cigars S.A.
