Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig

[44stampede]

Have some FFP, still need to smoke one.

Need to acquire T52, No 9, and Dirty Rats. Want to see what all the hype is about.
I just bought all of them waiting to be shipped to Asia as I have the same curiousity. I can say the No 9 I smoked was kick ass strong. Not great flavors IMO but of course a lot of people love 'em. The Undercrowns I felt were less powerful but better flavored.

I find the complete opposite (Except the strength factor).
The FFP is amazing though.

[kelmac07]

I have to agree with Shane...the flavors on the LP #9 blow the Undercrown away (UC is still a very nice stick). While I will agree that the #9 is a full bodied stick and the Undercrown is more along the lines of medium body. :2

4000 posts and I finally have two people agree with me. My work here is done. :r

You're closer to 5k than 4k Shane :r

I guess I really need to stop sitting on the few FFP's I have and smoke the damn things.

[BlkDrew]

i still have yet to feel closer to 100% before smoking one. this head cold is almost gone, just in time for this heat wave coming to NY

[whodeeni]

I picked up 3, from the sounds of it I should smoke one right away, but I almost always sit on them for a month or more.

Cigar.com has Toro's and double corona's availabe for the T-52. They are priced well too.

[qsalinas]

Cigar-Now has the FFP's :noon just one catch... They want $200 for the box:gary
HURRY!!!

[JenksAnejo]

Ouch, I don't think I would pay $20 a stick for them. They are great at $15!

[Digs]

Holy Cow!! Thats $70 per box higher then I paid (with tax)

[srduggins]

Just arrived in the mail last night. Doesn't anybody allow new sticks to stabilize before firing one up? With only 3 sticks in my possession, and plenty of other sticks to try, I think I'll wait

at least a week.

[JenksAnejo]

For sure! I like to let mine rest around 2-3 weeks after I receive something in the mail; however, most of my sticks have to wait around 6 months to be smoked!

I picked mine up locally and smoked one with a week rest with no problems, in fact it was amazingly delicious.

[tengel78]

I finally snagged a couple of these through a trade with Taki. Thanks brother!

I try to wait a month, since it is so dry and cold in Colorado


ZachF88.

Brother, sorry about the cracked stick. Please allow us to make it up to you. Please email John Brooke at jbrooke@drewestate.com and remember to CC me. We will replace it immediately.

Please email him this photo and let him know your ship to address.

Best,
JDrew

Hey Jonathan,

I don't want to stir up anything nor do I mean any harm by this. I emailed John Brooke a few weeks back but I haven't seen a replacement yet. I tried to smoked the crack FFP, but the draw was horrible (even with pectin repair). Too much air was being drawn in from the cracked area, plus the cap completely unraveled after 15 mins. My b&m got a batch recently, but their "VIP" members snatched them up in a few hours.... I really really want to try this stick! This is my unicorn I guess!

Hope you guys are having fun on the Safari.

Best,
Zach

[Theo Cincy]

Cornering the market om FFP's

[srduggins]

I smoked my first today and it couldn't have started out much worse. The cap tried to unravel but a little saliva held it in place. It seemed a little too wet and went out after about a quarter of an inch. The head of the cigar cracked about 1.5 inches long, and I was thinking I should have waited to let it stabilize a bit longer. I was able to hold the head together and get it relit and everything turned around. Wonderful flavors of root beer, rich earth and leather with a wonderful ripe tone to the whole thing accompanied by clouds of white smoke. I grabbed some pectin and glued the head while I smoked and never had another problem with it, not even a touch up. I was drinking some diet raspberry white tea that went with it great, but couldn't stop thinking about how some root beer might go with it. The root beer was fine with it, but I think the tart sweetness of the green tea was actually better. Definately an "A" stick in my book. Congrats JD & Co. on another fine stick!

[Hem]

Anyone know if these are popping up in Tampa/Orlando? Only place I see Drew Estate authorized in by me are Tampa Humidor and Beverage Castle...

Meh, more LE over-hyped nonsense......they do look nice though!

[Ncpsycho]

Omg i want abox so bad lol

[srduggins]

I preferred the L40 I had last night to the FFP I smoked on Sunday. It even went better with root beer. But they are both excellent sticks IMO.

Sloop tasty. Per this thread I know where to look if I run,out..

[big pete]

For those still looking for some pigs (Taki, you don't need anymore), I just grabbed a box of them on Famous-smoke. With the $10 off $100, its only $131 shipped. I hope there won't be anymore in an hr or I may be tempted to buy another box

This is my first ever box purchase. Yay!

[Islayphile]

Might have to check it out.

Nothing wrong with a big $hit eat'n grin on your face!! :lr

I was just so excited cause there was all this hype about them and I finally could grab some. I never even had one before that pic was taken :tu
I might venture out this weekend to try and pick up another box or a few, but now because of the hype price went from $13 (when I got them) to ranging from $17-$20 a stick!!! Plus there is a limit at some stores :sad
Thanks alot to all you FFP nuts out there hahaha :lr :lr

NEED ONE!

I like the Undercrowns better....and they're a third of the price! But by all means, chase away!

[Pseudosacred]

More like half the price. I like the UC's, but they lack consistency. I've had ones that were awesome and ones that tasted awful, or had an almost non-existent draw.

[JenksAnejo]

Ty, you like the undercrowns better than the original Ligas? If I had the choice I would smoke 9s, T52s, and FFPs 100 times out of 100.


Let me know where you get your UCs I'd love to snag some for $4-$5 a piece!

[Pseudosacred]

I have yet to get one for under 7.50 :sh

Same here brother, if I could find some for $4-$5 they'd be my daily smoke!

[big pete]

Cheapest I found was at Podman's. About $6.15/ea if you get a box

[jvanmeet]

Best i've seen is at Atlantic, robustos are 141.12 a boxhttp://www.atlanticcigar.com/cigars/template-atlanticcigar.asp?brand=2438

So if I tell you where you can get a box at $4.72 per stick.........
Shipping included

Well given the fact that you can't even find LP FFP's anymore, isn't the point moot regarding price differences?

For the price, I prefer the UC's...same binder, similiar blend, different wrapper! Smoke what you like, like what you smoke!

Cheapest I found was at Podman's. About $6.15/ea if you get a box

+1

Dare I say Thompson's has them at roughly 6 bones a stick for a ten pack of Robusto's.....or $5.50 a stick if you order a box from BCP (free shipping)!

Then why did you bring it up?

On another note, I'm smoking a Feral right now and the tobacco smelled faintly infused before I lit it. It reminds me of an acid, but very subtle.

Had any one else noticed this? Is it due to coming out of the same factory, or possibly sharing cargo space, or is it just really good tobacco?

I noticed that faintly as well when I smoked one on St. Pattys day. I also noticed the same thing with some Kristoff Ligero Maduro's I just recently purchased. :confused:

I hope you guys don't have goat turd Acids mixed in with your regular smokes in your humidor?

I agree it does taste infused. If anything just an increase is sweetness.

[ApexAZ]

No I have a separate humidor for those. I suspect they must be intermingled with the infused at some point in the supply chain.

I couldn't really taste it though, only just barely smell it in the tobacco.

Nice, Cole. Do they smell infused?

[chaase321]

no. I haven't thought that so far. I think they smell possibly a little more chocolatey than the LP9's but not infused. And it doesn't taste like an Acid that's for DAUMN sure!

[celtic250]

I hope you guys don't have goat turd Acids mixed in with your regular smokes in your humidor?

Never smoked or owned an infused in my life so that isn't the problem in my instance.

I did notice a very slight chemical taste. I doubt they'd infuse a Feral Pig, but others I've talked to have noticed the same kind of slightly chemical taste.

As someone who doesn't pretend to know much about the science of tobacco, I wonder if it had something to do with either continuing fermentation of the wrapper or binder or something.

[LigaPrivadaT84]

Believe Steve Saka has chimed in the past on this forum and confirmed there is absolutely no infusion with his Liga Privada line.

[maninblack]

They taste like heaven to this guy! Pure greatness!

[ApexAZ]

I don't think there was any infused tobacco in the cigar, I just noticed a very slight (and I mean SLIGHT) smell resembling an acid cigar, like a blondie or something. I assume they just spent some time in close proximity to some acids or something.

I doubt DE stores their Liga stuff anywhere close to the Acid at the factory. I could be wrong but most time I have seen them ship product to the shop the Acid and Naturals usually ship separately from the Liga orders so I'm willing to bet that they store each separate . Any chance your vendor is storing Ligas with the Acids?

Correct...They have separate escapartes for the ACIDs and Non ACID cigars.
