Drew Estate's Liga Privada No. 9 Coronets pack big flavors into tiny 4x32 cigars. These machine-made cigarillos come 50 to a box at $99.75, delivering espresso and toffee notes wrapped in Connecticut Broadleaf. Perfect for a 20-minute smoke when you need that No. 9 fix without committing to a full toro.
First Third: Immediate coffee grounds and black pepper spice. Draw feels tighter than hand-rolled Ligas. Smoke output surprises for the size - decent white clouds despite small ring gauge.
Middle Section: Brazilian Mata Fina binder kicks in with raisin sweetness. Watch the burn line - tends to canoe if you rush it. Pair with black coffee to amplify the cocoa undertones.
Final Stretch: Nicaraguan fillers show their teeth with leather and earth. Tiny format means nicotine hits faster than larger vitolas. Ends before getting harsh - smart 4" length keeps bitterness at bay.
The oily Broadleaf wrapper feels thicker than typical cigarillo skin. Drew Estate's 18-month fermentation process shines through - none of that raw tobacco bite common in small formats. Box date matters here; let these rest 3-6 months for optimal combustion.
