Liga Privada No. 9 Belicoso

Liga Privada No. 9 in a 6 x 52 figurado with a tapered head — the same oily Broadleaf Maduro, with a concentrated draw and rich, dense smoke.

The Belicoso takes Drew Estate's celebrated Liga Privada No. 9 blend and wraps it in a figurado — a 6 x 52 with a tapered, pointed head. That taper isn't just for looks: it concentrates the smoke and lets you fine-tune the draw.

What it tastes like

Underneath the dark, oily Connecticut River Valley Broadleaf wrapper sits the same prized No. 9 recipe — a Brazilian Mata Fina binder and aged Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. Expect a full-bodied profile of espresso, dark chocolate, earth, and leather, with a firm black-pepper spine. The pointed head focuses everything onto the palate, so the flavors feel especially dense and direct.

Who it's for

This is a full-strength, experienced-smoker cigar — rich and intense, best enjoyed slowly after a meal. The figurado shape means a clean cut matters; if you're new to tapered heads, our how to cut a cigar guide covers it. Pair it with espresso, bourbon, or aged rum, and if you want to understand the dark wrapper at the heart of this smoke, read Maduro vs Connecticut.
