I don’t know where they got the idea for the name, but it was hilarious when I started puffing. I put a flying pig to my lips. An incredibly delicious cigar pig, I must say.
Conctrustion
The cigar was incredibly tightly rolled with a slightly oily feel to it. Near the end of the cigar there was a larger vein that I thought would interfere with the glow, but it turned out to be just an unnecessary worry. The cigar glowed incredibly evenly from start to finish.
Wrapper: San Andrés Negro Mexico – Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf USA – Filler: Brazil and Nicaragua
Scent and cold draw
The wrapper had a scent of fruitiness and hay while the filler smelled fruity. The cold draw was smooth and incredibly sweet, the flavors I felt were milkiness, fruitiness and nuts. The cold draw would work perfectly when you are sitting at work or in the car to enjoy for a while before you have the opportunity to light the cigar.
1/3 Lets light up the Drew Estate flying pig perfecto cigar
It all started with a soft and creamy texture followed by flavors of pepperiness, hay, dark chocolate, cappuccino with a little sugar, leather, cedar wood and a nut mix that reminded me of pistachio, cashew and almond. In the background there was a sweetness that reminded me of fruitiness, raisins and a light general acidity. The retrohalation tickled my nose slightly and gave nuances of white pepper and black pepper.
2/3 The cigar showed new sides to the moment
The texture became thicker and creamier. You could say it became really rich and enjoyable. A taste of hay emerged that took up a lot of space on the palette followed by flavors of, general nuttiness, you couldn’t distinguish the nuts very much now, general acidity, a chocolate combination reminiscent of nougat, dark chocolate and raisins, leather, espresso with brown sugar. In the background there were nuances of fruitiness and earthiness. The rethrohale became a little smoother and gave the same nuances as before of white pepper and black pepper.
3/3 Lets see enjoy the last third
As I entered the final puff, the texture changed a bit, the texture was creamy but became a bit drier. The flavors retreated a bit and ended the cigar as a chocolatey dessert. The flavors I felt were dark chocolate, cacao, a combination of walnuts and hazelnuts, a combination of hay and leather and a woodiness reminiscent of oak. In the background there was a lighter sweetness reminiscent of raisins. The retrohalation became smooth and offered nuances of woodiness and hay.

Conclusion

The body is full so it suits the more experienced aficionados. If I compare price vs taste vs quality I think it is a bit on the low side and you get a little more than what you pay for.
