In early 2009 Drew Estate asked their torcedores to smoke less Liga Privada cigars because they were leaving too few to be exported. This request was met with the disappointment you would expect, but rather than being disgruntled they responded by blending their own signature liga. Incorporating many of the same rare tobaccos, but of different vintages and primings, the cigar they created was no mere replacement. Rather it is an exceptional smoking experience of uncompromising quality and flavour that deserves to be smoked by all.
It is always the master makers who are heralded, but the reality is that great cigars are the product of many talented people, most of whom toil in factories with no publicity ever. They are the uncelebrated heroes who make all of our lives more pleasurable with the cigars they craft. And therefore, it is with great pleasure that we are now sharing their factory floor creation with you as Undercrown Maduro, born out of Drew Estates worker’s ingenuity, resourcefulness and passion for a great cigar.

Key Details About the Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro Flying Pig Cigar-Single
Cigar Size and Vitola:
The Undercrown Maduro Flying Pig is a distinctive Perfecto vitola, measuring approximately 4 inches in length with a 60 ring gauge. Its unique, short, and stout shape, featuring a pigtail cap, offers a concentrated and flavorful smoking experience.
Flavors and Aroma:
This medium-to-full-bodied cigar delivers a rich and complex flavor profile. Upon lighting, it reveals notes of earth, espresso, and leather, complemented by undertones of dark chocolate and cedar. As the smoke progresses, subtle hints of fruit and spice emerge, adding depth and intrigue. The aroma is equally captivating, exuding a fragrant blend of wood and floral notes that enhance the overall smoking experience.
Construction and Quality:
Handcrafted at La Gran Fábrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Flying Pig features a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper aged for over 18 months. Beneath lies a Brazilian Mata Fina binder and a filler blend of select Honduran and Nicaraguan Cuban-seed tobaccos. The construction is impeccable, ensuring a consistent draw and an even burn throughout the smoke. Its solid build and meticulous craftsmanship reflect Drew Estate’s commitment to quality.
Aging Potential:
While the Undercrown Maduro Flying Pig is delightful when enjoyed fresh, aging can further enhance its flavors, allowing the complex notes to meld more harmoniously. Aged Flying Pigs offer a smoother and more refined smoking experience, making them a valuable addition to any humidor.
