Just tried my second one of these and can only review based on my experience, but both had tight draws, barely producing anything. I tried them months apart and from totally different batches. The first one I managed to pierce enough with a draw tool to get some smoke out of it but the flavour was bitter and not particularly pleasant. The second one today produced more, but still thin on the smoke, and the draw tool helped open it up a tiny bit further. Again it tasted of little more than bitter, dry earth, burned wood and some coffee grounds with a slight sweetness but also a slight acrid note in the background that came and went. Strength was full (after the first third) and rather unbalanced in my opinion, but that could of course just be bad blending and rolling in the two Ive tried. Ive either had the worst luck in the world with these Liga Privadas or the quality consistency of the line is just awful.

Having looked for a reasonably priced cigar and read the reviews of this fella, I ordered five. I smoked the first one yesterday, in my garden with a book and a coffee. For me (and Im no expert), it was a most enjoyable experience. The cigar had a nice flavour, a nice burn and lasted about 20 minutes or so. Just what I wanted. I shall definitely be ordering more and its only a shame that there is no box of 20, just a nicely presented tin of 4 or singles.

Great cigar. Very smooth throughout notes of whisky and nutmeg in the first 3rd opens up in the last two thirds with peppery notes alongside dark chovolste. Good draw throughout taking just under an hour to smoke. Burnt very evenly too.
Highly recommended.

Far from special. I realised Id only tried these once before many years ago, so thought I should give them another go. Excellent construction, perfect condition and moisture content, sickly pale wrapper with a hint of bloom and simply very little flavour. The first inch was almost tasteless, despite my palate being very fresh and lively. Not a hint of any bad flavours or harshness at all. The middle third improved a bit with very subtle hay, cream, pepper and doughy qualities with a trace of citrus. The final third started becoming hot and losing what little flavour it had very quickly. The finish was extremely light and short, leaving a taste of dry paper in the mouth. It was like smoking the ghost of a once great cigar, just nothing there now. You would do far far better, along these lines, to get an El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme or Padrón Dámaso, which are, in my opinion, vastly superior light cigars with far more to them.

I do not give bad reviews lightly, but this is without any doubt the worst cigar Ive ever tried in 17 years of smoking cigars. It wasnt simply not to my taste or a bit of bad flavour or construction, it was just outright disgusting. The flavour was like a mouthful of twigs and soil with a hint of burnt coffee bean. Despite a good draw and perfect burn, the flavour was dry, bitter, acrid and just horrible. I kept it going for 2 inches, seeing if it would turn into something at all but it in fact just got slightly worse as it went. I just couldnt bear it any longer and threw it away.

Absolutely wonderful cigar - appearance, construction & burn are flawless. Very smooth & creamy flavour profile ,slightly sweet with hints of chocolate and raisins, but subtle enough to keep you interested throughout. Oozes luxury in all aspects.
