The Liga Privada H99 Connecticut Corojo Flying Pig represents a pinnacle of hybrid leaf experimentation from Drew Estate. It features a proprietary stalk-cut wrapper grown in the Connecticut River Valley that combines the resilience of Corojo seed with the distinct microclimate of the region. This reddish, oily leaf covers a robust Mexican San Andrés Otapan Negro Último Corte binder and a dense core of well-aged Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers.
The experience of smoking this cigar is defined by the iconic Flying Pig vitola, a short and stout 3 15/16" x 60 perfecto that requires immense technical skill to roll. Because of its unique shape and tapered foot, the cigar offers a concentrated blast of flavor upon lighting that gradually evolves as the ring gauge expands. The profile is unapologetically full-bodied, delivering a complex sequence of toasted oak, savory leather, and sharp black pepper, all softened by a natural sweetness inherent to the hybrid wrapper.
As a limited-production release, the H99 Flying Pig is crafted in small batches to maintain the integrity of its rare tobacco components. The finish is long and creamy with subtle notes of cocoa and dark fruit, making it a sophisticated choice for enthusiasts who prioritize rich texture and structural complexity. This cigar remains one of the most sought-after entries in the Liga Privada portfolio due to its difficult construction and the specific aging requirements of its Connecticut Corojo leaf.
