Introducing the Flying Pig, a limited-edition smoke part of our barrel-fermented Pappy & Company cigar collection available in limited numbers and sold exclusively at pappyco.com.
One of the most desired vitolas in our portfolio, The Flying Pig is presented in a 3 15/16" x 60 ring gauge vitola, a favorite amongst cigar enthusiasts worldwide. The unique shape is based on a photograph of an 1895 cigar salesman’s size-selection case and is one of the most complicated vitolas to manufacture due to the size and signature pigtail, which requires specialized training.
The Barrel-Fermented Flying Pig features the same blend as our other barrel-fermented cigars, so tasting notes—think: hickory, charcoal, and fresh earth—are the same although you can expect a smoother smoking experience due to the larger ring gauge. In addition, due to its unique size, the Flying Pig vitola, while shorter in length, is a long smoking experience, so enthusiasts can easily expect this cigar to last an hour and a half.
For those new to the collection, the Pappy Van Winkle Barrel-Fermented Cigars are made with a combination of the finest Kentucky, Mexican, and Indonesian tobacco and are hand-rolled in small batches at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua and are unlike anything else on the market thanks to our unique barrel fermentation process. Throughout the 12-18 month fermentation process, bundles of Kentucky fire-cured tobacco are pressed in Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels, imparting a unique flavor profile and aroma. Pairs well with spicier spirits such as rye.
