The verdict
The Undercrown Maduro Flying Pig is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Drew Estate's Undercrown Maduro line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) flying pig (perfecto) wrapped in Mexican San Andrés at 3.94 in × 60.
On the palate, expect dark chocolate, coffee, and black pepper, leaning sweet. Plan on roughly 55 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee, aged rum, and porter. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Flying Pig shape made its name on the Liga Privada line, and Undercrown Maduro gets its own version: a stout 3 15/16 x 60 perfecto with the trademark curly pigtail cap and tapered foot. It's a seasonal release, so grab them when you see them.
What it tastes like
The short, wide body keeps the smoke cool and plentiful, showcasing the naturally sweet Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Connecticut River Valley stalk-cut Habano binder and a Brazilian Mata Fina and Nicaraguan filler. Expect a medium-to-full rush of dark chocolate, coffee, black pepper, earth, and cocoa from the first puff — a lot of rich maduro flavor in a compact package.
Who it's for
A fun everyday maduro for intermediate smokers, and an easy way to enjoy the Flying Pig shape without the Liga Privada price tag. Twist or clip the pigtail cap — how to cut a cigar walks you through it — and pair it with coffee, aged rum, or a porter. If you want the premium take on the shape, see the Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig.
