Have to go to a release event to get them right now.

Should be out for general consumption soon - as general as you can get with 2000 boxes of 12 that is...

Great review, as always, Brooks!

Man, this cigar not only looks amazing, but it sounds like it tastes amazing too! I'd love to try one if I can find it.

What is the invoice on these boxes going to be? $55.00; Think I'll pass on this short stub; better off lighting $12 in cash if you laying down at msrp, HA. Coming from a company where there top selling products are acids; who' know what type of chemicals they are adding to the tobacco for this cigar to give them the 'correct' profile.

Honestly, I would try one before you diss it.

I'd also like to add that while YOU don't smoke ACIDs, many people do....after all, it's the best selling brand out there right now. I don't smoke them either, but the Liga is NOT an infused smoke....neither with chemicals, which they don't use, or the essential oils and botanicals that the ACIDs are infused with. As someone else said, you shouldn't diss something you don't know anything about.

Surely you can't be serious?

Maybe go smoke a regular liga privada and get back to us after realizing your error. They are good sticks. No one is questing them that I have seen. You are the first.

So you have never tried the Flying Pig, but assume that you can pass judgment on it, just because of how it looks?

Seems as though he's tried a regular Liga ("been there, done that"), but still thinks there are chemicals in it.

Very nice.. Any Liga Privada is on my must try list.

Hey Brooks, when you say it's like the LP#9 but amped-up, do you mean amount of flavor or strength? Would you say it's as sweet as the regular #9s?

lol, Wiggy, Wiggy. I'd actually suggest you retry it, and make it the FIRST cigar of the day (not the 12th, lol). I think you'll at least admit it's good, even if you don't love it. I think they are like a cross between an El Triunfador and a PAM.

As far as "turd looking," I thought they actually look like breakfast sausages ... which makes me hungry!

I don't think we should be hating on people for not wanting to smoke these as much as we shouldn't be hating on people who smoke them... For me I won't try them; 12$ seems high, Drew "Pimp Stick" Estates makes them (and that's enough for me) and the vitola seems strange for a cigar that isn't universally proclaimed as stellar...

In any event the review and pictures are well done...
