Yesterday, Drew Estate announced their seasonal release of the Flying Pig vitolas. The Flying Pig is one of the most popular vitolas in the Drew Estate catalog. The 100mm x 60 ring gauge vitola is a favorite amongst cigar enthusiasts around the world. The Flying Pig shape is based on an old photograph of an 1895 cigar salesman’s case. The vitola is extremely complicated to manufacture because of the unique size and the pigtail cap.
“The Flying Pig franchise has become an iconic Drew Estate vitola. In addition to the flavor, taste and aroma, there’s something exciting about smoking a DE pig… it simply commands your attention when you open your humidor at home and makes your mouth water. It’s psychological warfare, the pig versus everybody. We are changing the distribution process to release piggies twice a year, Spring and Late Fall.” said Jonathan Drew, Founder and President of Drew Estate
