If you are a seasoned smoker, you are probably familiar with the exclusive cigars produced by Drew Estate. The flavored, fragrant ACID brand and the Ambrosia line are what you might call their regulars. However, Steve Saka, the company’s president, and founder Jonathan Drew, have also dabbled in producing traditional cigars, such as Chateau Real and Liga Privada no.9.

It is noteworthy that Liga Privada T-52 is Steve Saka’s personal choice and the second cigar created purely for his own personal enjoyment. T-52 was then released to the market due to its phenomenal characteristics. With Liga Privada no.9 having had such resounding success, the two have set upon a pursuit across continents to find a worthy humidor companion for their recipe. The successor comes in the form of Liga Privada T-52.

From the beautiful cedar box used as packaging, branded with the Liga Privada logo, to the unique recipe of seven types of tobacco, Liga Privada T-52 is an exquisite display of luxury.

A unique stalk-cut Sungrown Habano wrapper encompasses the aforementioned blend of tobacco. The dark shade of reddish-brown of the glistening wrapper will please even the most pretentious smoker’s eyes.
Liga Privada T-52 has roots in several different countries. The binder is Brazilian, while the filler consists of Nicaraguan, Honduran and Dominican tobacco blends.

Compared to the Liga Privada no.9, the T-52 is great for those desiring a stronger, more robust smoke. Handcrafted by the best Drew Estate torcedors, each Liga Privada T-52 cigar is guaranteed to be flawless in construction, flavor and character. The T-52 has a good pre-light draw, while its pre-light flavor mixes aromas of hay and pepper, topped by a sweet reminiscence of cocoa.

Once lit, the T-52 will provide great enjoyment if you are accustomed to the Drew Estate style, all the while preferring a full-bodied and semi-spicy traditional blend. Subtle hints of cocoa and a thick spiral of smoke accompany the dominant peppery flavor. Progressing through the middle of the cigar, you will notice the mild harshening of the aroma; towards the end, a spicier note will tickle your palate. The T-52 burns evenly, leaving behind mostly white ash.

With its bold, distinct flavor, loaded with notes of leather, earth, spices and black pepper, T-52 is, without doubt, an excellent successor to the acclaimed and highly sought-after Liga Privada no.9. The same quality standards apply, as only the best rollers are used to ensure that the final product is perfectly adequate for all fine cigars aficionado.
