*** Introducing the Flying Pig, a limited-edition smoke part of our barrel-fermented Pappy & Company cigar collection available in limited numbers and sold exclusively at pappyco.com.
+ now on back order. This is a limited release cigar+
One of the most desired vitolas in our portfolio, The Flying Pig is presented in a 3 15/16" x 60 ring gauge vitola, a favorite amongst cigar enthusiasts worldwide. The unique shape is based on a photograph of an 1895 cigar salesman's size-selection case and is one of the most complicated vitolas to manufacture due to the size and signature pigtail, which requires specialized training.
The Barrel-Fermented Flying Pig features the same blend as our other barrel-fermented cigars, so tasting notes-think: hickory, charcoal, and fresh earth-are the same although you can expect a smoother smoking experience due to the larger ring gauge. In addition, due to its unique size, the Flying Pig vitola, while shorter in length, is a long smoking experience, so enthusiasts can easily expect this cigar to last an hour and a half.
For those new to the collection, the Pappy Van Winkle Barrel-Fermented Cigars are made with a combination of the finest Kentucky, Mexican, and Indonesian tobacco and are hand-rolled in small batches at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in EstelĂ­, Nicaragua and are unlike anything else on the market thanks to our unique barrel fermentation process. Throughout the 12-18 month fermentation process, bundles of Kentucky fire-cured tobacco are pressed in Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels, imparting a unique flavor profile and aroma. Pairs well with spicier spirits such as rye.
