It’s a fact of life that some things are automatically associated with others, for instance: Income-Taxes. Another is: Drew Estate-Infused cigars. Fortunately for the more traditional cigar smoker, DE is a wizard when it comes to more traditional blends. Case in point, the Liga Privada 9 and its associates the Flying Pig and the Dirty Rat. Another outstanding blend is the T52.
Released last year, the Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig is a hefty 5.4 x 60 smoke that is extremely heavy and solidly rolled. The Connecticut Broadleaf Viso wrapper has some small veins and is extremely oily. The binder is Brazilian and the filler is all Nicaraguan.
The pre-light sniff reveals leather, some sweet spice, and an almost subliminal aroma of rum. I’m not a fan of a lot of large ring gauge cigars just because it seems like some of the blenders made a fatty because it’s in vogue. This may be a 60 ring, but has the mouth-feel of a 54 due to its semi-double perfecto shape.
The initial flavors are damp, peaty earth and oak, with a dusting of pepper. The draw is impressive and lush, producing a huge volume of thick, creamy smoke.
Through the first half, the cigar is firmly in the medium bodied category, however it seemed like as soon as the first ash fell, that triggered an onslaught of flavor and power.
The initial flavors remained the same, joined by a chocolaty syrupy sweetness. As the sweetness appeared, the spiciness increased, especially through the nose. From the halfway point until the end, the Feral Pig unleashed a fury of power and strength and definitely shows you who the boss is.
The burn remained laser-straight from first light until the nub.
This is not just another Liga Privada, nor is it a larger Flying Pig. The Feral is its own cigar with a completely different blend that can hold its own against the best of the Nicaraguans, Hondurans, and Cubans.
Not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but if you’re willing to plop down $15 for a ninety minute joy ride. The Feral Flying Pig is the cigar equivalent of Disneyland’s “E-ticket”.

Thanks guys. Even though I left the Social site, i still like to share my experience
10 days. I hit it for 5 and plan on resting a few until I can secure more.
Even with only 10 days, it has the potential of turning into something extra special with additional aging.
in the last third as the strenght really ramped up, the flavors seemed to mix and the cigar became so strong i kinda stoped enjoying it.
other than that it was a wonderful smoke and im glad i could get my hands on a few. will let the others rest for a bit befor smoking another
also the smoke production from this stick was unreal.
might have had something to do with the wind where i was smoking outside, but ive never seen a cigar put off that much smoke
Seems that I'm the only ba@%&*d here who hasn't tried these. No fear, though, I have an Undercrown napping in the cool darkness of my humidor that shall meet it's sweet demise in another month or so...
