Description
The Undercrown Maduro Flying Pig measures 3 15/16 x 60: a stubby, twist-capped double perfecto with a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper, a stalk-cut, stalk-cured Connecticut River Valley Habano binder, and Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan filler.
What It Tastes Like
Drew Estate pegs the blend at medium to full body and sums it up as dense and layered: earthy and plush, with sweetness from the leaf itself. JR Cigar’s notes for the Flying Pig list leather, cocoa, sweet spice and a floral touch.
Who It’s For
- Undercrown Maduro regulars curious how the blend fares in a shaped cigar.
- Big-ring fans who would rather skip a six-inch Gordito.
- Flying Pig collectors sampling Drew Estate’s versions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- San Andrés maduro wrapper over Connecticut Habano, per Drew Estate
- A 60 ring gauge in under four inches
Cons
- The shaped foot calls for a patient light; halfwheel’s reviewer said he slows down when lighting an unusual foot like this one
- Medium-full body may be a lot for newer smokers
About the Undercrown Maduro
Drew Estate dates Undercrown to 2010, when Liga Privada demand led it to stop its rollers smoking that line, so they built their own blend: Undercrown Maduro. halfwheel reports that this Flying Pig made its debut in June 2012 in the Netherlands.
