The story behind the Liga Undercrown blend is that the rollers in the Drew Estate factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, were smoking so many Liga Privada cigars they were told to stop due to the scarceness of the tobacco and high demand for the blend. The workers developed a plan to use the same crop of excellent Nicaraguan and Brazilian tobaccos for the binder and fillers, but they selected leaves from different primings of the plant and blended them under a different wrapper leaf. They chose a dark San Andrés Negro for its rich, oily texture, sweet and spicy taste, and its broader availability. This 91-rated blend delivers tasting notes of fresh ground coffee, hickory, vanilla bean, and pepper in a medium to full-bodied smoke.
