Drew Estate Liga Privada No. 9 Belicoso - 6x52

Strength:

Binder: Brazilian

Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro

Filler: Honduran and Nicaraguan

Drew Estate Liga Privada No. 9 Belicoso is perhaps the most visually striking vitola in the Liga Privada No. 9 lineup — a 6 x 52 figurado with a tapered, pointed head that demands attention before a single puff is taken. Crafted at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Belicoso is part of the legendary small-batch Liga Privada project that Jonathan Drew and his master blenders created purely for personal enjoyment before sharing it with the world. It is widely regarded as one of the finest full-bodied cigars produced in the modern era.

The Belicoso's tapered head concentrates the blend's flavor with remarkable precision, delivering an especially rich and complex first third that opens up as the cigar progresses. It begins with the same bold foundation as every Liga Privada No. 9: a rare Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, grown from heirloom seeds and fermented to develop its characteristic dark, oily sheen and natural sweetness. Beneath it, a Brazilian Mata Fina binder and a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan long-fillers drive the cigar's signature profile of dark cocoa, espresso, earth, and dried fruit.

The figurado shape makes the Belicoso a particularly expressive smoking experience — the tighter draw at the head builds intensity in the first half, then opens into a full, creamy, and spice-forward finish as the cigar reaches its natural diameter. Strength is decidedly full-bodied, making this a serious cigar for those who demand both complexity and power.

Available in a box of 24 hand-rolled Belicosos, each cigar is bunched and rolled by a single dedicated pair of rollers — a Liga Privada production standard that guarantees exceptional consistency across the line.
