They say it is named in honor of one of the all time top 10 cuban cigars... per review from Havana Mike:
"H. Upmann No. 22 Alfred Dunhill Seleccion Suprema:
What an experience to smoke. Fondly called the Flying Pig in the trade in the late 1950’s, this is a thick-girth cigar with a lot of character. It burns evenly and easily with a rich yet delicate tobacco, nutmeg flavor and a long aftertaste. Estimated production date: 1958."
And from cigarcyclopedia dot com:
"This old shape, picked by Saka from a photograph of an 1895 cigar salesman’s size-selection case, is a fat perfecto that looks like a short sausage of four inches and 60 ring gauge, with tiny bow-ties at each end. It’s a shape likely not seen in production since the 1930s, and only 2,000 boxes of 12 (24,000 total) have been produced. For those who can find it, it carries a retail price of $12 each and promises to be a unique smoking experience."
Now..squeal!
