Drew Estate - Liga Privada No.9 Robusto

Liga Privada No. 9 earned its name from a series of nine experimental blends developed to showcase the grandeur of Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf. With each version improving upon the last, the ninth blend ultimately stood above the rest, revealing unmatched depth and a dynamic progression of flavor that made it the clear favorite. From that moment, Liga Privada No. 9 was established, and enthusiasts affectionately dubbed it “The Broadleaf Bully.”

Crafted with seven carefully selected dark air-cured tobaccos sourced from respected farms, Liga Privada No. 9 is rich, commanding, and exceptionally refined. Its bold yet velvety character comes from the Stalk-Cut, Stalk-Cured method, a meticulous process that allows the wrapper leaf to mature slowly while still attached to the plant, drawing sustained nutrients throughout curing. Combined with an extensive aging period, this technique produces a deeply complex and luxuriously dark tobacco. The result is a powerful Connecticut Broadleaf expression layered with hearty earthiness, espresso undertones, and a long, satisfying finish.
