Drew Estate has announced it is releasing six of its signature Flying Pig for 2020.
The Flying Pigs being shipped include the Liga Privada No. 9, Liga Privada T52, Undercrown (Maduro), Undercrown Shade, and Undercrown Sun Grown blends as we as the return of the Kentucky Fire Cured Flying Pig. The Undercrown and KFC Flying Pigs shipped April 15th, while the Liga Privada No. 9 and T52 Flying Pigs will ship May 1.
The Flying Pig is a 3 15/16 x 60 (100mm x 60) ring gauge perfecto that is based off an 1895 cigar salesman’s size selection stake. Drew Estate describes it as one of the most difficult cigars Draw Estate has made as it requires specialized training by the buncheros and rollers at the La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate facility in Estelí, Nicaragua.
In a press release announcing the 2020 batch, Drew Estate President and co-Founder Jonathan Drew commented, “It is such a challenging time in the world right now, incredibly difficult for everyone in every corner of the world. To those who have lost loved ones, we especially feel your pain. To the first responders and their families, nurses, doctors, police, fireman, hospital staff, truck drivers, and others who are fighting the good fight – we are with you and love you. We spark up a Flying Pig in your honor and salute you!!!”
