Drew Estate Liga Privada No. 9 Belicoso Fino Cigar - Box of 12 (Discontinued)

Date Added: Wednesday 24 June, 2026 by Mark

The Liga Privada No. 9 was my first experience of a truly full-bodied cigar and it certainly lived up to its reputation. Even in 37 degree heat, the construction and burn proved excellent, producing huge amounts of thick, creamy smoke with impressive ash retention and a consistent burn throughout. Flavours developed gradually, with roasted coffee notes and increasing peppery spice as I worked my way down the stick, while the aroma remained pleasantly sweet which I loved. Powerful yet surprisingly smooth, this definitely isn't an everyday cigar for me, but it has instead earned a respected place in my humidor as a special occasion smoke.

Now THIS is a cigar. The Liga Privada No. 9 is a wonderful example of the flavour of Connecticut broadleaf. The wrapper was toothy, oily and thick. It has a wonderful dark chocolate note, alongside espresso, brown sugar and baking spices - it had also picked up an aromatic cedar note from my humidor. Nick Melillo's magnum opus, in my opinion. Multiple, aged tobaccos from 7 different farms - wonderful!

Broadleaf is one of the darkest and more oily wrappers in the market, very sugary and intense dark chocolate notes. This blend probably use the best Broadleaf available in the market. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador
