The Liga Privada T-52 cigar is one of the best cigars in the world. Its origins lie in Nicaragua and it comes with an American Habano wrapper. This cigar is handmade and costs around $ 10 to $ 14.
The meaning of Liga Privada is private blend. Apparently, this cigar was initially not meant for general consumption and was to be smoked only by the President of Drew Estate, Steven Saka. The development of this cigar is quite unique really. It was a farmer in Connecticut who was experimenting with a new variety of broadleaf which he started calling American Habano. This new wrapper wasn't sweated but hand fermented. The binder is a Brazilian Mata-Fina while the filler is a combination of various tobaccos from Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Every finished Liga Privada T-52 cigar is aged for at least 1 year before sale.
At first touch, the wrapper of this liga privada cigars is dark & oily and has a sort of maduro to colorado-maduro color to it. Its texture is quite nice and the teeth are slight nearing slippery. The aroma before lighting was pleasant and mild and a double-guillotine cut will reveal a good draw which has an interesting flavor. It leaves the ever so slight sensation of pepper on your tongue. It lights up quite easily and the resultant heat made oil extrude right up to a quarter of an inch from ember.
There may be a few counterfeit cigar makers that may coat their cigars using adjuncts and claim it to be oily but with the T-52 this is not the case, it's the real deal. The flavor is mellow initially and is something similar to cocoa or coffee beans. The smoke produced is very close to white in color and only moderate amounts are released from the draw with most smoke being released from the foot. While you may wonder whether the cigar is burning too fast, the fact is it isn't. When you are a third into the cigar, you start to get the taste of pepper on your tongue as well.
The ash is dark-grey and is grainy and crisp. It hangs on for quite a while although it’s recommended to regularly flick so that you don't make a fool of yourself. You start getting chocolaty, creamy notes after passing the half-way mark and a peppery sort of spice starts emerging in the final third of the cigar.
The cigar burns quite beautifully and you will rarely require a touch up or a relight throughout. This truly is an excellent cigar and is recommended for both amateur and experienced cigar smokers alike. You can consider having some ruby Porto along with the cigar to get the most out of the experience.
