About the Liga Privada No. 9 line
Liga Privada No. 9 began as Drew Estate founder Steve Saka's personal blend, never intended for sale. Enthusiasts who tried it pushed for a release, and it became one of the most respected full-bodied cigars on the market.
Wrapped in a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf and built around Nicaraguan tobacco, the No. 9 is known for its espresso, dark chocolate and earthy pepper character, with a richness that made "Liga" a cult name.
