Pigs landed at my doorstep after long flight.

Heres a review from the asylum

The Liga Privada #9 "Flying Pig" is a limited edition vitolas for 2009 as thy are very time consuming to make ( the average production per pair is 125 p/day)...Steve Saka picked the shape from a photograph of an 1895 cigar salesman's size-selection case. It is a fairly fat perfecto shape (4" x 60)that has not been in production since the 1930's. Only 2,000 boxes of 12 each (that would be 24,000 total cigars) have been produced, and the MSRP will be $12 each and they should be in stores next month...It also has a bit more ligero and is stronger than the usual Liga Privada #9 (which I can attest to)...

They look superb, don't they. Excellent find on the review by the way.

A bit more info -

Drew Estate created the Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig for Steve Saka's personal enjoyment and this cigar was released in 2009 at the New Orleans IPCPR show. A departure from the flavored cigars and budget sticks Drew Estate is known for, the Liga Privada No. 9 is quite complex. A multi-country blend of tobaccos the core of this cigar is the Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan filler. The Brazilian Mata Fina binder is grown by Jose Fuego

These were a limited release cigar for the 2009 winter holiday and were only made in a limited quantity more may be made in the future but the manufacturer has not announced any future releases. These cigars are currently OUT OF STOCK.
