Flavor Profile

This unique figurado offers a rich and medium-to-full-bodied profile in a distinctive shape. It features notes of dark cocoa, roasted coffee, and earth, with a characteristic sweet creaminess. The large ring gauge produces a massive volume of aromatic smoke, with hints of black pepper and cedar emerging as it burns. It is a satisfying and flavorful experience with a long, savory, and slightly spicy finish.

Construction

The Flying Pig is a short, fat double figurado that is notoriously difficult to roll. The construction features a distinctive pigtail cap and a plump body. It is expertly packed to ensure a smooth draw despite the unusual shape. The wrapper is oily and dark, and the burn is surprisingly even for such a thick vitola.

Pairing Suggestion

This unique collection offers a range of bold, spicy, and earthy flavors. Pair with a robust Bourbon or a dark Caribbean rum. For coffee lovers, a rich café au lait or a sweet macchiato complements the smoke. Pair with a selection of roasted nuts or aged cheddar to match the cigar's substantial body and the adventurous character of the Liga Undercrown line.
