At the 2018 IPCPR Trade Show, Drew Estate will unveil its “tripa corta” (short filler) release under the Liga Privada brand – the Liga Privada Unico Serie Nasty Fritas.
Late in 2012, the first mixed filler release under Liga Privada, the Liga Privada Unico Serie Papas Fritas was released. That “tripa corta” consists of leftover trimmings from the production of Liga Privada No. 9 and Liga Privada T52.
Nasty Fritas builds on Papas Fritas also using tripa corta from the Liga Privada No. 9 and Liga Privada T52. While Papas Fritas was a 4 1/2 x 44 corona offering, the Nasty Fritas uses a 4 x 52 figurado format made popular from Drew Estate’s ACID Nasty offering.
Blend-wise, Nasty Fritas features similar tobacco components as Papas Fritas – namely a Connecticut Broadleaf Oscuro wrapper, Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos that make up the “tripa corta”, Nasty Fritas will be packaged in 50-count boxes.
Nasty Fritas becomes the 11th offering in the Liga Privada Unico Serie – which features a series of blends optimized to one particular vitolas size. The other offerings include:
- Liga Privada Unico Serie Dirty Rat
- Liga Privada Unico Serie “A” (Event Only – Not available for resale)
