Liga Privada No. 9 Double Corona

Description

The Liga Privada No. 9 Double Corona brings Drew Estate’s legendary flagship blend to its largest, most commanding size. Originally a private stash reserved for Drew Estate’s own master blender, the No. 9 was eventually released to the public because it was simply too good to keep to themselves.

Construction & Origin

The No. 9 pairs a dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with a Brazilian Mata Fina binder and a filler blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos, rolled exclusively by some of the most skilled torcedores at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua. At 7 x 54, the Double Corona is the largest vitola in the No. 9 line, giving the blend a long, even burn that lets its layered profile unfold slowly over an extended smoking session.

Flavor Profile

Rich and full-bodied, the No. 9 Double Corona opens with black pepper and baker’s spice before settling into a decadent core of sweet cream, dark cocoa, and roasted coffee. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper contributes an earthy sweetness that balances the blend’s natural intensity, with the profile growing richer and more complex as it burns through its generous length.

Why It’s Sought After

As the cigar that put Liga Privada on the map, the No. 9 has earned a reputation as one of the most iconic blends in modern cigar history, and the Double Corona vitola remains a favorite among fans who want the full, unhurried experience of the line. Its origin story as a once-private blend only adds to its legendary status among collectors.
