Drew Estate has made an exciting announcement today regarding the upcoming release of the limited-edition Liga Privada Unico Serie Pancetta in 2023. This exclusive cigar will only be available at two locations, namely the Liga Privada Lounges at Wooden Indian Tobacco Shop in Havertown, PA and Barrister Cigars in Union, NJ. To mark the occasion, both retailers will be hosting a special launch event starting from December 13th, 2023.

The Liga Privada Unico Serie Pancetta is a unique blend that combines two renowned Liga Privada blends, namely the Liga Privada T52 and the Liga Privada Unico Feral Flying Pig. This cigar features a Connecticut Stalk Cut and Cured Habano capa, which delivers a powerful spice blast and a rich aroma, taking enthusiasts on a complex journey through “LigaLandia.” To enhance the blend’s strength, a bold Brazilian Mata Fina binder and filler leaves from Nicaragua and Honduras were carefully selected. These binder and filler leaves are the same ones used in the Liga Privada Unico Feral Flying Pig. The expertly rolled 4 ¾” x 50 Belicoso cigar is distinguished by a 2023 release foot band, ensuring a truly unforgettable smoking experience.

Jonathan Drew, the President and Founder of Drew Estate, expressed his excitement about the Pancetta release from the Wynwood Safehouse. He emphasized the significance of Pancetta in reflecting the early days of the Liga Privada brand and the strong relationships with brick-and-mortar tobacconists that played a crucial role in the brand’s initial success. Drew Estate carefully selected 52 Tobacconists across the USA who shared their vision for the Connecticut River Valley and the “Stalk Cut – Stalk Cured” process. Barrister Cigars and Wooden Indian were among the first accounts to understand and support this vision, showcasing their love and passion for the brand.

David Mallow, the proprietor of Barrister Cigars, acknowledges that the Liga Privada Lounge, which was established in collaboration with Jonathan Drew, along with the national launch of two sizes of T52, has consistently been one of the most popular collections in their store. Customers specifically seek out their establishment due to the extensive Liga Privada selection and the rarity of DE classics.

Mayer further emphasizes that they were among the first retailers in the country to introduce Liga Privada, considering it a fundamental component of their humidor. This eagerly awaited annual release unites both the steadfast Liga Loyalists and the emerging Liga Lovers from across the nation, as well as their local friends, in celebrating the pleasure of Drew Estate and the diverse range of options their humidor offers.

The Liga Privada Unico Pancetta is exclusively packaged in 24 count boxes, with each box priced at $299.00. These boxes are solely available for purchase at Wooden Indian Tobacco Shop and Barrister Cigars.
