It’s hard to believe it’s been over 15 years since then Drew Estate President Steve Saka created this amazing world class cigar. This artfully crafted four country blend of seven different tobaccos gave Steve the Master Blender status he so richly deserved. Aging the near black, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper for 18 months wasn’t enough. Before boxing them, they’re allowed to sit and stew for another year. The complex full bodied, robust tobacco taste of this slow burning masterpiece yields a thick heavy flavor of natural tobacco. Despite being jammed packed with vintage long leaf fillers and binder leaves and being almost hard to the touch, it draws effortlessly. This brand has an extremely loyal fan base that will grab any available size. Hence, my advice is to get them when we have them and SERIOUSLY enjoy!

The T52 edition is the most interesting one of the Liga Privada series. The use of stalk cut leaves adds another dimension to its overall character. Normally, leaves are cut off from the plant’s stalk and then allowed to ferment. In this case, part of the blend is composed from leaves that are allowed to age while still being attached to the plant which has been cut from its base and hung upside down. This rarely used process enables all the resin and oils from the entire plant to move into the leaves giving these fillers a truly district taste. Aging the leaves from 24-36 months adds to this blends complexity as well.
The bottom line is a medium to full bodied cigar with a ton of natural tobacco flavors yielding notes of wine, syrup and spice. Another winner for sure. And like the other two, get them while we have them.
