Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate

“Amazing cigar (Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate)! Delicious, perfect construction, beautiful burn and draw, pretty as a prom queen, just fantastic. Best cigar I have ever smoked in my 55 years. Think Playboy Centerfold quality, but in a cigar. I still can't believe the same people that make ACID make this... wow!”

“I heard the story that the top Drew Estate torcedores developed this cigar to be what they smoked while working...they were given the opportunity to build the best cigar available with all of the Drew Estate tobaccos at their command and...Voila!(Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate) Bar none, this is the best non flavored Drew Estate cigar of the bunch. It's very complex with a wonderful wrapper. It's dense and swirling with flavor. You can taste the efforts of a group of people given such a wonderful opportunity. This cigar is worth more than the price tag at CI. It could easily go for twice the amount and it would still move out the door at the same rate...but CI is smart....why price it out of the reach of most cigar smokers? It ain't cheap, but it's worth every dime.....you can't say that about a lot of high ends with great reps.....I could name them but then you wouldn't get to read this. This is a must have for everyone's humidor.”

“These are the best cigars on the market right now (Liga Privada #9). My last favorite non-cuban (Cubans only when I'm traveling of course) were the La Flora Dominicana El Jacko #2, and the Opus X. . . These Liga's are fantastic and WAY up there. I liked the T52's as well, but . . . not as much. Don't bother trying to find anything close (I've been on the hunt, and just spent money un-necessarily), if you want a quality smoke this is it.”

“I am on my third box:Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate it is one of the best, if not the best, cigar I have ever smoked (though the more I smoke, the less precise "the best" becomes). It would easily rate in the mid to high 90s for me. Consistent flavor and burn. I'll take it over any cuban any day.”

“Great cigar with a very consistent burn. The long fillers blended in these cigars gives them quite a flavorful taste. For those of you concerned with the high price, take a chance on a 5-pack first. Just to good of a cigar to not give your palate a chance to enjoy.”

“great cigar (Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate) ...(period) Im on my first one and i am so satisfied. I just got my 5 pack in earlier to day and I was so whipped by my night at chase(work).I got in and lit her up and im feeling great!!!”

“This is a very good cigar but at this price point I was expecting more. The quality and construction of this stick is impeccable, but I’m not smoking cigars because of the way they are constructed. With that said, if you are trying to add value to what you are buying then this cigar may not be for you. On the flip side, if you’re buying cigars and the cost is not a concern then you may enjoy this cigar a lot more than I did. The Liga Privada Undercrown is also a very good cigar but at considerable less cost and in my opinion a much better value.”

“I gotta admit I am more of a Gurkha fan and my son is a Acid/Drew Estates fan. They smell too incensy for me. But I heard about these Liga Privada's, they intrigued me so I bought one. I smoked it last night and I gotta tell ya it has got to have been the best made cigar I ever had. It was a little tight on the draw but the ash was flawless. The taste and aroma were great and I almost got 2 1/2 hours out of it. My only complaint is that I can’t afford to smoke these on a regular basis. They need to have some good sales on these babbies.”

“A couple of years back, I bought 5 of these after reading favorable reviews on the net. Since then I have bought two boxes of 24. My only regret is not buying more boxes when the price point was more favorable. I have about 6 left from the last box and note that I will pay quite a bit more for my next order AND have to wait on backorder. AGHHH!!! These and La Aurora Tubo Preferidos are always in my humidor.Even though I continue to try other smokes, these just make me appreciate my two favorites even more. I typically enjoy with Diplomatico fine Venezuelan rum or a smokey single malt, such as Lagavulin.”

“Got a 5-pack of Parejo Oscuro size-(LP#9)-I really don't know how to describe this taste-just excellent ,and they were offered on MMAO too!Do the math! Thanks C.I.”

“Hey gang!If you haven't tried this one,you're missing out-definitely in a class by itself.IMO it's worth more than what C.I. offers it for and is so rich in flavor and complexity that like another reviewer indicated ,the few rollers chosen to roll LP#9 have a unique opportunity to make this blend and we're fortunate to experience it.( I have wondered for a long time what type of blends rollers smoked while they were working-you know like the same blend they're producing or some special blend that they would only have access to for various reasons like limited inventory,experimentation,etc.)This stick knocks most traditional sticks d#@$ in the dirt! Well done Mr Drew well done ,thanks C.I.”

“The liga privada#9 series: wow the best cigar out there right now my favorite is the parejo oscuro and the robusto. The T52 is also great. Thick white smoke, sharp burn nice favors. Leaves a nice aroma in the air I'm hooked on the #9 line and my last 7 purchases have been the #9. It's hard to let them rest.”

“By far one of the best cigars I have ever had! I ordered a 5pack and fell in love! Worth the price at any cost. Great flavor and a nice smooth draw. I have found the promise land!”

“I'm not the one who normally posts comments. However. There are exceptions to every rule. And this my fellow CI friends.... Is one EXCEPTIONAL cigar. I'll spend top dollar on a top range cigar and i'll hunt down those Two dollar bargain sticks as well. All I can say is get one. NO! Two or Three. You will NOT be disappointed! The Corona Doble (7.0" x 54) is my fave, but the Gran Toro (6.0" x 52) is a great choice too. I guess what I'm trying to say is the larger ones make for a more enjoyable smoke as there's more cigar and time for all the great blends to meld together and give you that "wow" trippy thing you sometimes get from a great cigar. I hope you like these as much as I do. Only one small problem with this cigar that I can find? Good luck finding them in stock! ANYWHERE. These suckers fly out of the stores. My local shop got in Six assorted boxes and put them out on a Saturday when he opened at 10:00am. When I got there at 3:00pm he was almost sold out! I grabbed 10 of them and left a few for the next lucky person! Enjoy enjoy enjoy..... Have a safe and Happy New Year everyone. See you all at Cigarfest 2012! Come find me and let's chat and meet. I'll be the only guy there driving the Orange 2012 Lamborghini Aventador.....”

“Had my first Liga Privada #9. What stood out the most was the light spicy, flavorful taste you get when letting the smoke go further on the back of your throat. Unable to describe it but was good. Otherwise you get the typical light leather, toasty woodsy flavor. At times it even had a stale tobacco flavor, which I didn't care for. Best way I can describe it. Nothing special about this cigar in my humble opinion. Also not a good price point. I will pass on this cigar.”

“There's a reason why the no.9 as well as the T52 always sold out. These cigars are the best in today's market. You can check any other cigar website and you're fine they are sold out or in back order I have yet to smoke a bad one yet. I smoke them sparingly since they're hard to find so do yourself a favor and try them, you will not be disappointed. Great construction, great smoke output and beautiful flavors. My go to cigar on special occasions.”

“Simply the best. I am surprised to even see them here in stock. They seem to be sold out whenever I look. I wish I could afford to smoke these all the time.”
