Listen up. I am not one to lean toward a Corojo wrapped cigar, heck, even a box-press, but let me tell you, the Liga Privada H99 Churrasco flipped my perspective. The first thing that grabbed my attention was the color of this wrapper, a rich crimson tint with a hue of deep chocolate brown. This, plus the beautiful cedar-lined box, had me entranced and ready to dive in and give it a shot. No regrets here.

The initial draw made me realize how toothy the wrapper was, which had me anticipating all the layers to those flavorful natural oils. Spoiler alert, the Churrasco smoothly delivers. Right from the start, I was puffing away on a variety of flavors like cedar, deep cocoa, and a slight peppery kick that lingered on the back of my tongue. After that I really didn't get notes of anything else, those several notes stayed consistent and pure. Which usually isn't my cup of tea, I prefer a creamy cigar with a spectrum of flavorful notes. But for some reason, I kept picking this bad boy up and have been craving my second cigar ever since. A small Corojo journey took me to a point where I have been now pining about Corojo wrapped cigars and even more so, the Liga Privada H99 Churrasco by Drew Estate.

This is one of those cigars an aficionado can appreciate, but it’s also approachable enough for someone who’s only had a couple cigars in their life. It layers nuanced flavors over a medium bodied profile, making it a standout cigar no matter where you are in your cigar journey.
