Tonight at Hyde Park Cigars in Chicago, Drew Estate will preview a new size for its Liga Privada No. 9 line, Pork Beli. The new size is a short belicoso, listed at 4 3/4 (120mm) x 50. Tonight, the company will have 100 cigars on hand for an event with Drew Estate co-founder Jonathan Drew and the company plans to fully launch the cigar in the fall. “I remember when I met Mike and Freddy the first time at a trade show in New Orleans, and how we wrote their biggest order of business with Drew Estate at the time,” said Drew in a press release. “They are one of the coolest Drew Diplomat Retailers in the nation, and truly understand our Rebirth of Cigars movement.” The Liga Privada No. 9 blend uses a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, Brazilian mata fina binder and fillers from Honduras and Nicaragua. Tonights event begins at 5 p.m. Update — The original version of this article indicated Pork Beli would have a national release later this year. It is not slated to ship nationally.
