View Full Version : LP Unico Serie "Papas Fritas"

New LP being released at the show.
http://www.halfwheel.com/news-liga-privada-unico-serie-papas-fritas-coming-ipcpr-2012/
Our latest addition to the Liga Privada Único Serie, the “Papas Fritas” are handcrafted entirely from only the chaveta cuts of our dark Broadleaf capa and the rare Grade 1 filler tobacco trimmings created by the production of all our other famed Liga Privada blends, these coronas are arguably the finest “tripa corta” cigars ever made. What they may lack in beauty they more than make up for in satisfying flavor. Spicy, rich and delicious, they are named in honor of one of El Jefe’s favorite foods: French Fries!
Although “tripa corta” means “short filler”, these coronas are unlike any “sandwich” cigar ever created. All of the tobacco trimmings are individually hand sorted back into their original leaf variety and thickness, hand cut to be uniform in size and then are hand blended cigar by cigar to ensure consistency in flavor and aroma
I'm normally all for LPs, but really now? I know I'll try some, but I'm extremely doubtful they'll be any good at all, tbh. I know they use great tobacco, but I have a hard time believing and shortfiller stick is worth the $6 price tag.

I understand your hesitation, but these are really quite good...Great size, great flavor, and great construction on the ones I have smoked so far...
Give it a shot :)
I will try one for the price...:tu

I will be trying a couple, and if they do actually turn out to be good it'll be interesting to see whether they go the way of the Undercrown after the initial run. Aside from the Corona Vivas, I haven't liked a single Undercrown from the later shipments, they've been noticeably different(went from extremely oily wrappers with great flavor to rough, almost sickly looking comparatively, wrappers with little to no flavor).

I love the size of this stick, much better than the dumb fat pigs IMO.
The price is good for an LP but not for a standard short filler, Brooks says it tastes good though. Sounds like a better option than paying twice the amount for one of their long fillers.
I think it is a good concept, might draw a few people into the LP stuff that have been hesitant due to prices being soo high.
I don't think I will try them but I hope they are good, I have always thought highly of the LP stuff.

Nothing wrong with a short filler stick. I personally find the Benchmades to be a very good stick although they only tend to top at at the $4 mark.
I love what Drew Estate has been doing with their non flavored tobaccos but $6 for a mixed filler Corona-ish sized cigar is a little steep on paper but if it smokes really good than the price point will probably become moot. Hell the Dirty Rat is just about the same size but retails for $12 and I never wince about paying that for them as the stick is just that good. I guess time will tell if a short filler Corona can sustain a $6 price point. My guess is that it will do just fine and will sell out with the quickness.

How short does the filler have to be on a 4 1/2" stick to be called a short filler stick. I mean are they using pieces shorter than 4 1/2 inches long? :sh
Haha, I thought it meant Daddy's Cold.....figured it meant a spicy cigar to make you sweat in the winter or something.

To make a long filler cigar 4-1/2" in length you need filler tobacco that is about 6"-1/2" in length because part of it gets trimmed off in process.
Additionally, you can only get so many cuts out of a leaf, so you can get some odd sized leftovers. Sometimes wide shapes that aren't long, other times very long, but very narrow, or just weird shaped that would be hard to work with. There's not much you can do with them other than to chop them up for short filler.

IKR Shane! *lol* Guy sounds like he just fell off a meat truck! Maybe its just
me, but this is worse than the 'Baitfish ordeal'. I bought and quickly sold my
bundle once i got to thinking about it. I really didn't think they were going to
be that good, but they just needed some rest. I still wasn't overly happy
about the 6.00 price for those and that was long filler.
Pepin's Tabacos Baez SF sells for 2-3 bucks for the robusto and toro's.
He also does Benchmade for Ashton, and they're probably 1-1.50 to $2.00
higher depending on the vitola.
I know for a fact that you can smoke a SF stick and enjoy it, but Geez
Louise DE! $6.00 for a petit corona? I'm an LP Fan too btw... Certain sticks
i'll gladly pay the money for, this is not one of them.

I forgot all about the Beaz SF. Like you said a very good stick at a minimal cost. Should be interesting to see how well the Papas does at the $6 price point but as mentioned earlier, it's a DE stick so my guess is sales will be strong and it will be a tough find like a lot of the Liga/Unico line.

See, there's the rub. They're not for everyone. But for guys like me, I have yet to try a stick that I like as much as the LP9 or the Rat, in any price range.
If you take two sticks of the same quality, but slightly different blends, and one is priced a few dollars more, and you prefer the one priced a few dollars more, there are two ways to look at it. One is to say "both should be priced the same, and no matter what, I'll take the less expensive one because it's a better deal." The other is to say, "I like the way the more expensive one tastes, I'll take that one, even though it's a bit more."
Alternatively, perhaps you actually enjoy the cheaper ones every bit as much, in which case, cool. Smoke those!
Personally, I feel that LPs are good quality sticks, and perhaps are priced a couple bucks more per stick than other sticks of the same pedigree, but since no one else has a stick I like more, at either less or more cost I'll pay the going rate for the Ligas, and just smoke fewer cigars.

Hello guys.
Reading the posts I have to say that there are good points being made all around. The sticks are expensive for w 70/30 Long/Med Filler. At the same time, they carry the classic LP taste and effort, which has a value as well.
BUT HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING : In all of the discussions on Asylum about the PF, everyone behaved and acted like True Gentleman. Nobody put anyone down or acted with anger. I am so appreciative for this because - thats what premium cigars are all about - Smoking and sharing and camaraderie. Great to hear different views. I think you'll are going to be impressed with these bad boys. And forget the traditional mixed filler crap on your tongue, the guys at the factory found a solution to that.
In any case, so many great new products from the IPCPR, from many countries and many factories. Its going to be another "Sampling Year".
ENJOY and smoke in moderation.
Very best,
JD

I really enjoyed the Papas Fritas I had at the show. While I think it's a tad overpriced I enjoyed it and it smoked like a 100% long filler. Packaging is very nice on it also.
This is coming from a guy that isn't goo goo ga ga over the traditional #9 line...

MikePD.
I would love to explain the solution to the system that they created to reduce the short filler escape. But to be 100% honest, it was not my work product. Saka and Nicholas Melillo figured it out and I have not been brought into the loop just yet.
They are going to teach me on the next trip in, God willing. I would hate to lie and try to take credit for this system or act like I understand it fully at this point.
I will look into it and report back as much info as allowed.

Im a big fan of Illusiones Cuchillos Cubanos and i believe those use a 60/40 mix. I use a punch on them just to be on the safe side and you would never think twice about them being a mixed filler smoke. Looking forward to giving the PF a try if i can find some. Those would make some great winter time smokes up here in B-lo.

Yeah, do not get me wrong, I love Liga Privada but they definitely seem to be having issues and have been for some time with production of most of their lines in the Liga lineup.I really wish I didn't have to ration out my T-52s but it is what it is and at least they're not just pumping out sh*t to keep up with demand. I am guessing the Paps Fritas aren't ready yet so they are holding them back which I can respect. Many others have shot themselves in the foot with a new stick by releasing it when it was still green turning people off of the stick forever. I just wish they (the industry as a whole) would be more realistic with their release dates even if it meant pushing it way out and than releasing it early if need be.

Steve Saka posted over at puff.com, and he says these will be out mid December, the wait is due to delays in the packaging, the tins and the boxes.
He did mention authorizing the extra cost to get these to us mid December. He said the good news was that this delay caused an extra supply of these sticks, so they should be easier to get.

Pretty much. Craputo is all about his own personal profit and screw anyone who disagrees with him. He bought up a bunch of cigar boards and basically destroyed them when he merged them into one megaboard; all so he could sell higher priced ad-space. That wasn't enough though, so he datamined the userbase and sold that info. Lied to, disrespected and back stabbed a number of good people, including all 11 of the owners of this board, all for his personal profit. In light of that, the least we can do is to not post things that could redirect automated traffic to his site, which could lead to an increase in his profits.
Star out a few letters, or change the U to a V, as "pvff" won't direct traffic to him.
That's all that was meant by my comment. The information you provided was very beneficial to the thread, thank you.

While it is possible that the poster made an error in the writing of his post, many manufacturers, Drew Estate included, will package certain cigars into cello mazos, typically 20 or 25 cigars, although I have seen 5s, 10s and even a 6. This can be for the big operations like CI, Famous, JR, etc to further break down into singles, 5'ers, 10's whatever, or, for internal use, events, etc. This allows them to provide a larger quantity of cigars at a lower per unit cost since the packaging isn't included. This doesn't happen with all cigars, there's no set rule for which ones get the mazo treatment.
All that being said, I can't say if the PF's were or were not packaged this way, but I can tell you that some of the stuff manufacturers package into mazos might surprise you.
Oh, and breaking down 4-tins into 5 or 10-packs, actually, I've seen big e-tailers do sillier things.
Probably best to let the poster clarify rather than running amok substituting your assertions for facts.

That link shows them for $60. Perhaps http://www.cigarsinternational.com/SL283C will work.

Odd, it was $49.99 when I posted the link. Your link works too, though. Thanks!

Once you click the link I posted it will show up as $49.99 when clicking your link but it shows $60 for those who haven't clicked the link from the actual email. Works the same as the free shipping link.

Same. Plus, these come in 4 count tins. I highly doubt any company is taking them out of said tins to put them in 10 packs.
And the alternative is that I mistook some other brand to read "Liga Privada Papas Fritas, from Drew Estates"? I do need reading glasses, but that would be a hell of a mistake.

I didn't mean to come off as an ass, as I'll admit I did reading back on it, but when all we had to go on was "oh hey, these are on CI in 10 packs for $xx.xx" and could find nothing on CI at all similar(they don't even list that they carry the Papas Fritas), not to mention how odd it seems(at least to me) that they would split up tins of these, there is reason to be at least somewhat skeptical.

I doubt they were in tins to begin with. DE can save the money on packaging.

They're not in tins at the factory, they're stored wheels.
All they did was ship the wheels to ci, and they in turn
are selling them in lots of 10. Even at that price i'm not gonna jump.
Hard to pay that much for mixed filler.

Just try them. Not that it justifies the price all together, but they are darn good.

I wonder if they've gotten better since the show. Brooks gave me a couple
to try at IPCPR. But for the money im good. Id rather find a deal on the
baitfish or smoke J. Fuego Origen Maduro Originals.

Tins are going for $ 22-26 for 4 sticks = (roughly) $ 6.00 per stick
or
Grab them from CI at 10 for $ 49.99 = $ 4.99 per stick
Granted, they are short filler sticks...but $ 4.99 a stick ain't bad if it's good. :2

I'm betting in a few months the price MAY go down a bit more, even for an LP blend.

Exactly! These won't last long. Especially if you buy the box with 7 tins. Glad I got my mitts on some.

They will be a "regular" release guys(well, as "regular" as JD is with the Ligas), there's more coming after this first round.
