Liga Privada, which translates to "private blend" in Spanish, was created by Steve Saka, who was the president of Drew Estate at the time. In the early 2000s, Saka set out to craft a special and exclusive cigar blend for himself and a select group of individuals within the company. He wanted to create a cigar that embodied his vision of perfection and would be unlike any other blend available on the market.
The blend that Saka created for himself became known as Liga Privada No. 9, and it was an instant hit among those who tried it. Word spread quickly within the cigar community about the extraordinary flavors and complexity of Liga Privada, leading to overwhelming demand for the cigar.
Recognizing the immense popularity and appeal of Liga Privada, Drew Estate decided to make it available for public consumption, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the brand. Despite its transition from a private blend to a widely accessible cigar, the brand retained its exclusivity and allure, becoming highly sought after by cigar enthusiasts worldwide.
Liga Privada cigars are crafted with the utmost attention to detail, using carefully selected and aged tobaccos from various regions. The cigars often feature a dark and oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, which contributes to the blend's rich and sweet flavor profile. The filler tobaccos are a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran leaves, lending complexity, depth, and strength to the smoking experience.
Over the years, Liga Privada has expanded to include different lines and limited edition releases, each with its distinct characteristics and flavor profiles. Some of the popular lines include Liga Privada No. 9, Liga Privada T52, Liga Privada Unico Series, and Liga Privada Único Serie Ratzilla, among others.
Liga Privada's popularity has continued to grow, and it has received numerous accolades and high ratings from cigar publications and critics. Despite its success, the brand remains true to its origins as a labor of love and passion for crafting exceptional cigars.
