Drew Estate Liga Privada "Dirty Rat" & Unicos Line
 
I know some of us have been waiting for the Liga Privada "Dirty Rat" release for some time now. DE just conducted a press release describing all the goodies concerning the Dirty Rat.

From what I read the "Dirty Rat" will be the first of the the new Liga Privada Unicos line. Much like the reviews you've seen it will be a 5 x 44RG corona with fan tail. The wrapper will be the same wrapper as the T52, but has a different binder/filler blend. It won't be a limited release but an ongoing line much like the T52 and the No. 9

You can expect them starting September 9.

I have really become a Liga Ho the last few months and this is good news as I have been wanting to get my hands on these for some time now. Now maybe I will finally get my greasy paws on some:dr

The Liga have become my go to stick at the B&M closest to my house. It would be a toss up between the Illusione 88's and the No. 9 Robusto's, but that particular B&M doesn't stock Illusione singles so the Liga wins by default.

Interesting...hopefully my B&M get some of them. While I love the the no. 9, but I really love the t52.

The T-52 Toro is my favorite by far with the number 9 Beli close behind. Anyone know what the price point of a box will be?

Re: Drew Estate Liga Privada "Dirty Rat" & Unicos Line
 
Going to be in boxes of 12 at $12 each. The reason being:

Quote:

“We realize this is expensive for a small format cigar, however due to the difficult nature and time
consuming task of proportioning five different filler tobaccos and hand bunching such a complex recipe into a
corona size the cigar’s price is a direct reflection of what they actually cost to handcraft,”

Is that also true for the Flying Pig?

From what I understand, both the Flying Pig and the Dirty Rat will be produced akin to Fuente's Anejo in that they'd be a small batch, periodical cigar, rather than a one time production like Tatuaje's Black Jars or Halloween series.

Also, after talking to the people at my local B&M, they're expecting a shipment of both the Flying Pig and the Dirty Rat come early September.

Hmmm, more Pigs are coming too. Maybe this time I will be bright enough to grab a box when the opportunity arises rather than what I did last time and just grab a 5er and after the first one go back for the rest only to find they are gone.

I have a Flying Pig and some T52's sitting in my humi waiting to be smoked. I've yet to smoke any of the LP lines, but from everything I've read I'm looking forward to those smokes. I've heard many good things about the Dirty Rat too, so it's nice to know that while made in small batches, both it and the Flying Pig will both be a regular release.

Don't take this comment wrong, I'm a self proclaimed Tat whore and it's fun getting the limited releases...but it is definitely frustrating when you like the cigar but no more will ever be made. I'm glad that's not the case here.

Smoke the Ligas. I too was a Tat whore and than I tried my first T-52. Now I will grab a Liga over my usual go to Tats.

The Dirty Rat will be Regular production, like the Anejos are (ie, they will be released when DE feels like it and they have the stock, but will not have a specific number to hit and then quit)...

The T-52 Flying Pig will only have 3000 boxes released (the #9 FP only had 2000)...However, unlike last year (when they released the #9 FP in batches over a series of months) ALL of the T-52 Flying Pigs will be released at the same time, so once they are gone, they are gone...

The Dirty Rats (Boxes of 12 for $12 each, so about $144) will be available in about 2 weeks...

The T-52 Flying Pigs price is unknown (to me, but I assume they will be like the #9 FP), and will NOT be out before mid October...

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info Brooks. A T-52 Pig should be interesting. The #9 is a little spice bomb so I am real curious to see how the T-52 version smokes. So being the #9 FP was $12 each on average, I wonder if the T-52 version will be a buck or two more.

Having smoked my frist one of these as an unmarked sample from Jon well over a year ago, the Dirty Rats are fantastc cigars, I'm very glad to see that Jon and Saka did put these into production afterall.

Can't wait to try this one.

I've tried the T-52. I wasn't overly impressed. It was decent, but nothing in there wow'ed me. That being said, I'm sure I'll be on the hunt for these new releases.
