Being no stranger to the Undercrown line, and in fact a big fan a' it, I've reviewed this original offering in its Churchill, Robusto, and Corona Viva iterations.

IN ADDITION:
Gentlepersons, the famed lore behind this blend via the company site reads:
"In early 2009 we asked our torcedores to smoke less Liga Privada cigars because they were leaving too few to be exported. This request was met with the disappointment you would expect, but rather than being disgruntled they responded by blending their own signature liga.

Incorporating many of the same rare tobaccos, but of different vintages and primings, the cigar they created was no mere replacement. Rather it is an exceptional smoking experience of uncompromising quality and flavor that deserves to be smoked by all."
