Undercrown Maduro Blended by the same torcedores that roll the beloved Liga Privada No. 9, the original Undercrown cigar was born out of a challenge. A challenge by Willy Herrera to the cigar rollers in the factory to create a cigar that would satisfy his palate, a cigar that would be equal to, or greater than, his favorite cigar; the Liga Privada 9. The Liga torcedores used the rare tobacco of the Liga Privada but blended aged leaves to create a blend with wonderfully earthy notes of cream, spice with a sweet tobacco finish. Wrapped in an Otapan Mexico Maduro wrapper, the heir apparent to the legendary Liga Privada features spot-on construction with a creamy finish, this smoke gets rave reviews and is a favorite cigar of many adventurous aficionados.
