We’ve got a funny story for you, ladies and gentleman. Apparently, our shipping department had a bit of a mix up a few weeks ago and we thought we’d share the story with you. As many of you know, our Flying Pigs were a limited production cigar that we created, making only 2,000 boxes. We were supposed to keep some for ourselves, but we ending up selling out before they even came in!

Because of this, Saka decided to have 50 extra boxes made for “internal consumption”. Basically, we wanted to smoke some! Anyway, when the extra 50 boxes came in, they got shipped out by accident! These boxes are marked “DE Only“, and they are now the only Pigs left on the market. Saka recounted the story to me last week, calling it a “colossal f&!k up“.

If you are one of the lucky few to have received a box of these “DE Only” pigs, enjoy them, because they are the last pigs in existence (besides the ones all of you cigar collectors have locked away in your humidors). Also, if you take pictures of your “DE Only” box of Pigs and send them in to us, we’ll send you a Drew Estate hat free of charge. Let’s see those Pigs!



Has anybody received any of these boxes?

Howdy All:

I hope you are great.

I still need to try one of these. Now I guess I need to try a DE one if I can.

Something about the size just seems odd to me though.

Best regards, tony

I like the Liga line, but the Flying Pig did absolutely nothing for me... I was even smoking it on vacation in the perfect setting where it actually would add to the smoking pleasure, but 1/3 of the way through I just kept thinking what a waste of smoking time!?!

To each his own though...

The Liga Privada #9 robusto is still probably my favorite cigar and I had the same experience as you...

I have a couple in the humidor aging to see if it makes a difference but I was quite disappointed in the piggie I smoked as well.

Oh it does make quite a difference. I got a fiver at an event of #9 pre releases from 07. They have a dirty rat type band but they say "saka blend 07 " they are essentially 3 year old #9's. They are amazing!

I'll have to check my B&M for any "new" boxes of Flying Pigs. They told me I bought out the last 3 they had when I got them about 3 weeks ago. Will keep my eye out...
