About the Liga Privada T52 line
Introduced in 2010 as the second Liga Privada release, T52 takes its name from the Connecticut River Valley Stalk-Cut Habano wrapper grown from a specific seed and cured on the stalk for deeper flavor. Rolled at Drew Estate's La Gran Fabrica in Esteli, Nicaragua, it surrounds a Plan Habano binder and a core of Nicaraguan and Honduran long-fillers. The stalk-cut process yields a wrapper with concentrated oils and pepper, giving T52 a bolder, spicier character than the original No. 9 while keeping the rich cocoa and espresso notes the Liga Privada line is known for. It remains a limited-allocation cult favorite.
