Drew Estate announces the Spring Seasonal Release of the Flying Pig vitola, including Liga Privada No. 9 and T52, Undercrown Maduro, Shade and Sun Grown, as well as Kentucky Fire Cured.
The Flying Pig is a 100mm x 60 ring gauge. The shape is based on a photograph of an 1895 cigar salesman’s size selection case. Being a double figurado, it is one of the most tough vitolas to manufacture due to the unique size and signature pig-tail.
Jonathan Drew Founder and President of Drew Estate notes, “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!”.
