Liga Privada Year of the Snake
January 28, 2025

Drew Estate Introduces the “Liga Privada Único Serie Year of the Snake” to the Asian Market

Drew Estate, in collaboration with CoH Cigars of Hong Kong, is excited to announce the launch of the "Liga Privada Único Serie - Year of the Snake” to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

This exclusive release aligns with the Year of the Wood Snake, symbolizing wisdom, charm, and transformation – traits that were deeply pondered while blending and crafting this limited and exclusive short batch. “It’s an honor for Drew Estate to participate in such an important cultural moment,” says Jonathan Drew, company Founder and President. “We’ve worked on the ‘Year of’ project for quite a long time and it seems to have an impact on people who wish to bring two distinct rituals together for celebration and reflection. I would love to personally meet the people who are enjoying this collection. That would be so cool.”

The “Year of the Snake” is a 7 x 44 (177.8 mm x 17.5 mm) Lonsdale, available in beautifully crafted 10-count boxes. Balanced and complex with a peppery kick, this Liga reflects the enigmatic and potent nature of the snake.

Blend Specifications:

  • Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
  • Binder: Connecticut Corojo
  • Fillers: A select blend of Nicaraguan, Brazilian, and US tobaccos

Distribution is exclusive to CoH Cigars Hong Kong and is scheduled for release on January 29, 2025, just in time for the Lunar New Year celebrations. For more information on the “Liga Privada Único Serie Year of the Snake” and other Drew Estate products, please contact CoH Cigars Hong Kong.

Wrappers, Binders, and Fillers

The wrapper, binder, and filler refer to the individual leaves that make up the cigar you're enjoying.

The filler leaves of the cigar are the inner-most leaves and make up a majority of the tobacco inside. Filler leaves are bunched together by buncheros at the factory.

These filler leaves are held together with a binder leaf - a whole leaf encasing all of the filler tobacco and holding them tightly together.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the wrapper. This single leaf is the outermost cover of the cigar, and must be high-quality in both performance and aesthetics.

Cigar shapes and sizes

Individual cigar sizes, called vitolas, can shape your experience and enjoyment of a blend. At Drew Estate, we strive to offer our brands in a variety of vitolas that best show off the tobaccos contained inside. Exploring the subtle taste profile differences between different sizes is a great way to learn more about your favorite blend or switch up your experience.

Each size is presented in two numbers: the first is the length of the cigar, in inches. The second is the “ring gauge” - a measurement of the diameter of the cigar, measured in 64ths of an inch.
