Description
The Liga Privada T52 Corona Viva is a 6 x 46 Drew Estate cigar: a stalk-cut, stalk-cured Connecticut Habano wrapper over a plantation-grown Brazilian Mata Fina binder, with Honduran and Nicaraguan filler. Drew Estate names Liga Privada among the blends made at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in EstelÃ, Nicaragua.
What It Tastes Like
We found no Cigar Aficionado or halfwheel score for this exact size, so we don’t quote one. Drew Estate describes the T52 blend as full-bodied, built on earth and black pepper, and ending on caramel. Famous Smoke Shop lists leather, cedar, molasses and spice, while Neptune Cigar highlights pepper with an earthy warmth.
Who It’s For
- T52 fans who want a narrower cigar than the 52- and 54-ring sizes.
- Smokers who like pepper and power stretched across six inches.
- Anyone comparing Corona Vivas, since Drew Estate also makes one in the No. 9 blend.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Drew Estate says the T52 wrapper ferments for 30 to 36 months, longer than the wrappers on its other Liga Privada blends
- The full T52 recipe in a 46 ring
Cons
- No size-specific rating from a major outlet that we could verify
- Labels range from medium-full (Holt’s) to full (Drew Estate)
About the T52 Blend
Drew Estate says Connecticut growers raise the T52 wrapper only for the company. halfwheel reported in 2018 that a Corona Viva size was coming to both the T52 and No. 9 lines.
Pairing and Storage
Espresso and Cabernet Sauvignon are the two matches Drew Estate suggests for the T52. For spirits, our cigar and spirits pairing guide points full-bodied cigars toward peated Scotch or aged rum.

Liga Privada T52 Corona Viva FAQ
How strong is the Liga Privada T52 Corona Viva?
Full is the most common label. Drew Estate and Famous Smoke Shop list it as full, Neptune Cigar describes it as full-bodied, and Holt’s rates the T52 line medium-full.
What size is the T52 Corona Viva?
Six inches long with a 46 ring gauge on Drew Estate’s spec sheet, slimmer than the 6 x 52 T52 Toro and Belicoso.
Which wrapper does the T52 use?
Drew Estate specifies a Connecticut-grown Habano that is stalk-cut and stalk-cured. Holt’s lists an Ecuadorian Habano-seed leaf instead; we go with the manufacturer.
Is there a No. 9 Corona Viva too?
Yes. Drew Estate makes a 6 x 46 Corona Viva in the No. 9 line, which swaps the Habano wrapper for dark Connecticut River Valley broadleaf.
