Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

So that means they are not a one time release then?

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

$15 a pop is a bargain for these; they are some pretty cigars.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

anyone know where I can buy a couple singles? 3-5 would be great. thanks!

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

I am so happy to have scored two of these! I would have bought a whole box but I was able to catch a local B&M on their last two sticks and quickly snatched them up!

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

I have to go back to the spot that has a box. I hope they have some left!!!

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Still waiting on Cigar.com to send me my order. I'm pretty sure this is the last time I'll pre-order anything from them if I want it when it's released.


Sigh.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

That is dumb!

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

I pre-ordered too. From what I understand, they have already gotten their Pig order in from Liga and have already been sold out to their customers. In my mind, people who never got their pre-order are SOL.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

In that case, I doubt I'll order from them again, period. Pretty sh***y thing for them to do.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Case and point, I pre-ordered a 5-er. A week or 2 ago, the Pigs when from on order to in stock on their website. I told my buddy and he then placed an order immediately. He put in an order for 3. He got his pigs in three days later.

I called them and they said i was just probably too far back in line to get my order shipped. BS. But who knows maybe they will get more from the distributor.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

That's the same line I got from them too, which is why I asked if anybody had gotten their order from them since I felt it was a B.S. line.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

I just saw these walk out the door five minutes after landing in Euless last night. They looked pretty though...

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

I thought about pre-ordering from them but decided not to after seeing how many guys already posted about pre-ordering and in the back of my mind I figured they wouldn't get enough product to fill every order. Wasn't sure if they would tag the card prior to shipping so just in case I decided to hold on to my funds until I found a retailer who had them in hand so I would know I would be guaranteed the box. All the Liga dealers here sold out quick even those limiting them to 1 stick a person.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Co-worker picked one up for me from one of his friends that works at Anstead's in Fayetteville, gonna grab it from him tonight and probably end up smoking it tomorrow.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Awesome co-worker, congrats!

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Been waiting 2 months for mine!!! Still nothing!

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Did they charge the credit card???

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Yea, I'm excited. My coworker hasn't had an LP before, but after hearing me rave about them and express my desire for us to get some in he got his friend to pick up 3 of em, 2 for himself 1 for me. :r

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

I just grabbed the last two one of my local shops had on the shelf.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Just saw it now but Podmancigars.com had 5 or 6 boxes this afternoon posted on Facebook but they are gone now. That was friggin' fast!

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

That's what she said :noon

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

An excellent Cigar!!!! An early frontrunner for my 2012 Cigar of the Year

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Not yet thankfully! I spoke to them today and they hope to have another shipment this month and since I have been waiting since November, I should be pretty high up on the list!!

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

You should have seen how happy Taki was just to get the empyt box :lr

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Doesn't matter, had sex.:r:noon

Would have replied sooner, but my account needed to be fixed - thanks Admin!

Quick Flying Pig History:

This odd shaped vitola was based on a cigar salesman sampler catalog from 1895 that I saw many years ago. Its fat, pudgy perfecto shape caught my interest, so it was a shape I always kept in mind as being one I would like to recreate. Not just for the novel visual it provided, but I knew it would be a blending and manufacturing challenge to make such a vitola an enjoyable smoke.

The first Flying Pig was released in late Y2009 in the LP No. 9 Blend - it was limited to approximately 2,500 boxes - the exact number was slightly lower after the cigars were color sorted, but all the 12-ct boxes were serialized with a handwritten #. There were about an extra 1,000 cigars that were retained in Nica that were roughly 1/8th inch shorter (long story), we have used these during cigar safaris, shared a few at events and have used once at a charity auction in a special 100-ct box. No #9 Flying Pigs have been made since.

The second Flying Pig was released in late Y2010 in the LP T52 blend - it was limited to approximately 3,500 boxes - again, final numbered was determined at the color sort tables and again each of the 12-ct boxes was serialized with a handwritten number. No T52 Flying Pigs have been made since.

The third Flying Pig release is the Feral Flying Pig and has just begun being delivered to retailers in December of Y2012. There will be batches delivered in January, February and March in large lots - in total about 4,500 boxes over the 4 month span. This release differs in the following ways: #1 - The size has been changed - this is a longer version making it less of a novelty shape, but rather an extra plump perfecto that has a better hand and mouth feel (imo), a cigar that most cigar smokers will enjoy spending 90 minutes with, #2 - This is a unique blend that was crafted for the cigar's new size - it is very robust liga (again imo) and was packaged under our Unico serie of Liga Privadas, #3 - Box count was changed from 12-ct to 10-ct, #4 - Box design was modified from the horizontal presentation to a custom scalloped tray SBN and #5 - These boxes were NOT serialized with handwritten numbers.

Unlike the FP releases before, this is not limited to the initial batch only. The reason for that is we internally love the cigar and its blend so much, we want to continue making it in the future on a continual, albeit very limited basis.

Hope this answers any questions anyone may have had.

Great Info! Thanks!:tu

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Thanks Steve, great information there.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Thanks Steve, for giving us the low-down. Can't wait to give them a try.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

I managed to score a box from Podman cigars the other day. Can't wait to try them! I loved both the No.9 and T52 piggies.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Just found three boxes locally.... Maybe one box will do!

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Sadly my order from Cigar.com was cancelled due to not knowing when they will get in more! :td

They said maybe in a few months!!

If anyone would like to part with a few, please PM me!!! :tu

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Keep an eye on podmancigars.com (follow him on Twitter). Looks like he is leaking few boxes every week.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

I got my box yesterday and had it signed by Jonathan himself. Been hanging with him and Pedro (who runs the cigarsafari) for a few days in Amsterdam. Video's on JD's facebook

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Ferdinand,

Just reached the hotel here in Berlin ... Thanks for everything you did for Pedro, myself and Drew Estate.

Sincerely,
JD

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

can't wait to taste the flying pig! They look very well constructed and tasty.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

The construction is simply superb. It's a beautiful perfecto.

Being the rare treat that it is, I'm just waiting for the right opportunity to burn it. :ss:

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

The feral Flying Pig is an awesome cigar! We ran out in Hawaii but there are more on the way. There's no way i'm going to be able to get a box for myself.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

there are still some stray pigs at a couple of my local shops here. I can check for anyone that might want a couple.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

GTsetGO ... "Pigs" of FFP ??? If they are reg. Pigs, I would be interested in them.

And Joe M ... hoping that you are doing well my friend. Still going to Cuban Crafters or what???

Best,
CODENAME BERLIN

Taki everywhere I look I see this picture and it increases my jealousy :tu Very nice brother!

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Had to post it on this thread....I was so excited :noon

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Yep; Manny, Ivan and I are keeping the faith Tuesdays at Cuban Crafters. Tim (Podman) told us that we missed you on the rare Tue we didn't hang out (in December) and I regretted it. Hope to run into you again soon. Travel well, mi amigo.

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Dude, that is sweet. You think you'll be able to put any away in a deep, dark place to sample a few years from now?

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Going to try brother...:tu :tu

I was shocked to find as many as I did...me and a few buddies went crazy!!!
I absolutely love the Liga line up...well done JD :tu

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Not all are for me...I am keeping a box and splitting the rest up :tu

Re: Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
 

Woohoo for box splitting! Keep me in mind if you don't have enough to split with.
