Drew Estate's finest, period. Liga Privada No. 9 is a cigar you must try. The wrapper alone will make your mouth water...a jet-black Oscuro leaf that's toothy, oily, and a marvel to look at. Underneath, aged long-fillers from seven different farms unite, creating a bold and complex bouquet. However, an extra year's worth of aging has morphed this tasty creature into a rich, meaty cigar with various notes of toast, coffee, and chocolate into a smooth, satisfying experience. Full-bodied but silky from start to finish, the Liga Privada No. 9 is a gem. Check out the reviews for your Drew Estate's Liga Privada No. 9 and try a sampler to get you started. Liga Privada No. 9 was honored with Top 25 honors for 2015 (#10 overall) and received a well-deserved 94-rating noting: "complex range of strong earthy flavors, a sweet quality redolent of perique tobacco and a sweet tarry finish."
A box-press beauty from Erik Espinosa.

On the outside, a dark Nicaraguan maduro glistens with oils and boasts a mouthwatering, toothy texture. Inside, a robust blend of aged Cuban-seed long-leaf tobaccos marries to promote a rich, medium to full-bodied profile layered with satisfying flavors.
Expect a classic combination of earth and coffee complemented by a touch of spice on the finish. Naturally, quality is top-notch with each slow-burning cigar, so sit back and savor this impressive super-premium. Stack 601 up against any other box-pressed maduro on the market — we're sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.
601 Blue Label Maduro received a healthy, 93-point rating, which noted: "A thick, box-pressed cigar with a triple-seam cap and dark, clean wrapper. The substantial draw layers the palate with a chewy, complex smoke full of dark-roasted espresso bean flavours, touches of almond, and caramel."
Heavy in the hand and oily to the touch, the 601 Green Oscuro coats the palate with a dense bouquet loaded with rich, chocolatey flavors, coffee undertones, peppery nuances, and a long, toasty aftertaste.
"Dark and lush with good oils. This is a notably spicy perfecto with a core of leather flavors and a long finish. A medium- to full-bodied cigar."
The special sauce used to create Amazon Basin is a tobacco called ’Braganca,’ a rare tobacco harvested from a remote region in the Amazonian rainforest. It’s really crazy, actually. Everything from its taste to the way it’s cultivated. Grown in a virgin, tropical land in the rainforest and harvested only once every 3 years, Braganca may be one of the most elusive tobaccos in the world. After the tobacco is harvested, it’s rolled by hand into tubes and fermented for 6 months. Then, it must be transported by canoe back to the mainland. Wild in every sense. To create CAO Amazon Basin, this Braganca tobacco was blended with tobaccos from 5 different countries and finished with a dark, Ecuadorian Sumatra ligero wrapper. But despite the breadth of tobaccos contained within, you can still taste and smell the unique Amazonian tobacco almost instantly. An exotic, distinctive taste that’s bold and very unique…unlike anything you’ve ever had before. Additionally, each cigar is finished with a rustic, 100% twisted tobacco ‘band’ that adds another unique touch.
Featuring a Honduran Criollo wrapper, a dual binder of Jamastran Corojo and Trojes-Criollo leaves, and fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras, the Post Embargo Code 815 is quintessential Alec Bradley goodness. Notes of dry cocoa, nuttiness, earth, and subtle white pepper dominate the palate, showing off what an amazing combo Nicaraguan and Honduran tobacco can be.
"Even though this dark, near-veinless robusto is solid to the touch, it draws wonderfully, leaving full-bodied notes of pepper, wine oak and coffee bean flavors on the palate."
The result of this blending is a mellow to medium-bodied but full-flavored profile with notes of creaminess, earth, cedar, nuttiness, and a bit of pepper.
Joined by Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan long-filler, Sin Compromiso explodes with rich flavors of chocolate brownies, coffee, and a unique sweetness.
A gorgeous Ecuadorian Habano wrapper encases a blend of Nicaraguan binder and fillers to create a perfectly medium-bodied profile that engulfs the senses with notes of cedar, a blend of red, white and black pepper, nutmeg, clove, and finished with a natural sweetness to round it out.
"The lush draw of this richly hued cigar leaves a layered, chocolate-like smoke with clear notes of oak, spice and leather. The finish is sweet and nutty."
