  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Liga Privada “Dirty Rat”
Size: 5″ x 46
Vitola: Corona with Fuma cap
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Filler: Honduran and Nicaraguan Cuban Seed
Binder: Brazilian
Price: N/A – Prototype

Some information from Steve Saka (borrowed from a forum post by TG) states that the Dirty Rat is the result of trying to recreate the classic Liga Privada #9 profile in a corona size, however he feels that they never got that quite right. In the process Luis (lead torcedor and gallery supervisor) came up with this blend. Steve goes on to share that this may never see the light of day as the process used to create these bunches makes the cigar cost-prohibitive, it actually costs more to produced the Dirty Rat than a toro size Liga Privada #9.

Thanks everyone, I hope these make it to production - it really was a great smoke. I'm a total ho for the Liga Privadas as it is!

sweet. thanks for sending me a few.
BTW, did you use that cutter? I got one w/ a box purchase. Haven't tried it.
Yessir, I did use it, works great. It's got a fixed cut so you don't take too much and for torpedos I just snip it twice. Blades are very sharp.

Awesome review. Thanks! Nice score in getting one of these. Hopefully they end up releasing this stick...it would be great to try one. Anyone that has had one seems to have only good things to say (at least from what I have seen).
