Drew Estate Liga Privada No9 Toro Especial
The Cigar
Cigar Journal Rating 91
Translated to English, “Liga Privada” means “private blend.” It is the perfect name, as this cigar was originally crafted not for resale, but for the personal humidors of Drew Estate. Dozens of intricate blends were created, but No. 9 was flawless in both flavour and character. Seven different tobaccos from seven distinct vegas are included. The wrapper is hand fermented for 18+ months & no sweat is allowed. Only four pairs within the Drew Estate factory are certified to produce these cigars & each pair is allowed to craft only 250 cigars per day. The cigars are then aged for a full year before being offered for sale.
Rich, complex and full bodied without being harsh, this amazing vitola is best described in one word: satisfying. Lush, earthy and espresso like with an incredibly dense body.
