Drew Estate announced today the 2020 release of the limited-edition Liga Privada Unico Serie Pancetta, an exclusive cigar to the two Liga Privada Lounges, Wooden Indian Tobacco Shop in Havertown, PA and Barrister Cigars in Union, NJ. The Pancetta will be available beginning on September 25th.
The Liga Privada Unico Serie Pancetta is the union of two Liga Privada blends, Liga Privada T52 and the Liga Privada Unico Feral Flying Pig. It features a Connecticut Habano wrapper, a Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and filler leaves from Nicaragua and Honduras. The binder and filler leaves are the very same that go into the Liga Privada Unico Feral Flying Pig. These tobaccos are rolled into a belicoso size, measuring 50 x 120 mm (4¾”).
From the Wynwood Safehouse, Jonathan Drew President and Founder of Drew Estate adds, “The Pancetta brings us back to the early days of the Liga Privada brandmark, representing the important brick & mortar friendships that deeply contributed to our initial success with the brand. We took the approach of selecting a small group of accounts who we felt believed most highly in the LP project … and slowly, carefully, one-by-one, added accounts that shared our vision for the Connecticut River Valley, as well as a “Stalk Cut – Stalk Cured” process. Barrister Cigars and Wooden Indian were among our first accounts, immediately understanding the vision and showing the love and passion for the brand.”
David Mallow, owner of Barrister Cigars notes, “Since the opening of our Liga Privada Lounge with Jonathan Drew and the National Launch of two sizes of T52, Liga Privada has continually been one of the bestselling lines in our store. Our customers seek us out because of our Liga Privada selection and hard to find DE classics.” David Mayer, owner of Wooden Indian, adds, “We were one of the first stores in the country to bring in Liga Privada, and we consider it a cornerstone of our humidor.”
The Liga Privada Unico Pancetta is packaged in 24 count boxes with an MSRP of $299.00/box, sold exclusively through Wooden Indian Tobacco Shop and Barrister Cigars.
