Drew Estate has a new event-only cigar in the Liga Privada Único Serie. The Liga Privada Único Serie Crush’d Velvet is a 5 × 50 box-pressed belicoso that uses a Connecticut corojo hybrid wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés binder, with fillers from Nicaragua and the United States. It is made at La Gran Fábrica Drew Estate in Nicaragua. Suggested pricing is $16.95 per cigar, or $169.50 for a box of 10. Halfwheel lists the release date as November 6, 2026.
The cigar debuted last week at the 2026 Florida Barn Smoker, an annual Drew Estate event held in conjunction with Corona Cigar Co. Corona is the launch customer for the release. According to Halfwheel, Crush’d Velvet is also headed to future events at a group of select catalog retailers: Best Cigar Pub, Casa de Montecristo, Cigar Page, Cigar Republic, Cigars Daily, Cigars International, Corona Cigar Co., Famous Smoke Shop, and Fox Cigar Bar.
Drew Estate already sells another Liga Privada with velvet in the name, the Velvet Rat. Halfwheel notes that, on paper, the two cigars have very different blends.
