根据德鲁庄园公司透露，新的一批飞猪系列雪茄正在向零售商发货。在德鲁公司的外交家授权零售店，你将可以看见私人联盟9号（Liga Privada No. 9）、私人联盟T52（Liga Privada T52）、暗冠马杜罗（Undercrown Shade）、暗冠阴植（Undercrown Shade）、暗冠阳植（Undercrown Sun Grown）。还有一款肯塔基防火飞猪（Kentucky Fire Cured Flying Pig），将在更大范围的零售商上架，而不仅仅是外交家授权店。
飞猪系列雪茄短而粗，最粗的部位60环径，3.9375英寸长，特别难卷制。德鲁庄园公司介绍，今年生产的飞猪系列全部是每盒12支装。去年，每款的生产数量限制在2500盒，今年各款的发行量公司没有透露。
零售价可以确定。肯塔基防火飞猪是每支9.6美元。暗冠马杜罗、暗冠阴植、暗冠阳植的售价是每支12.76美元。私人联盟的9号、T52号的售价是每支15.09美元。
德鲁庄园公司的创始人、总裁乔纳森·德鲁（Jonathan Drew）在一份新闻稿里表示，该公司在尝试改变经销流程，以适应未来这种独特规模的发行。正常一年将发货两次，一次在春季，一次在秋季。
德鲁庄园公司的所有手工雪茄都是在尼加拉瓜的埃斯特利地区的德鲁庄园雪茄厂（La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate）生产的。
A new shipment of Flying Pigs—unique, stout perfectos with pigtail caps that span the Drew Estate brand portfolio—is on its way to cigar shops across the United States.
According to the company, boxes of Flying Pigs are making their way to Drew Diplomat retailers in the following blends: Liga Privada No. 9, Liga Privada T52, Undercrown Maduro, Undercrown Shade and Undercrown Sun Grown. Drew Estate is also shipping a Kentucky Fire Cured Flying Pig that will be available in a wider range of cigar shops, not just Drew Diplomat retailers.
Flying Pigs are short and fat, measuring about 3 15/16 inches by 60 ring gauge, and are difficult for cigar rollers to produce. According to Drew Estate, this year’s Flying Pigs will all ship in 12-count boxes. Last year’s run was limited to 2,500 boxes for each brand, but Drew Estate declined to say exactly how many boxes of each size are being released this time.
Prices, however, have been set. The Kentucky Fire Cured Flying Pig retails for the suggested price of $9.60, while the Undercrown Maduro, Shade and Sun Grown carry a price tag of $12.76. Both the Liga Privada No. 9 and T52 cost $15.09 per cigar.
Jonathan Drew, president and founder of Drew Estate, said in a press release that the company is “changing the distribution process” for future releases of this distinctive size. According to him, Drew Estate will ship Flying Pigs twice, once in the spring and once in the fall.
Like all Drew Estate handmade cigars, Flying Pigs are rolled at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Esteli, Nicaragua.
