A May Tradition: This marks year five of the BBQ Pig drop. If you know, you know. The kind of release
that gets circled on the calendar.
One Pig, Many Layers: It starts with a rugged Mexican San Andres wrapper, earthy and bold. Inside?
That's classified. We'll tell you this much: one of the filler leaves is Peruvian.
Only Two People Can Roll It: Since day one, the same two rollers at Quesada have been the only
ones trusted to craft this cigar. The Pig vitola is a beast to roll: they've got it mastered.
Built Like a Pitmaster's Dream: 4.5 x 60. Short. Thick. Smoky. The Pig vitola isn't just about looks: it's
about flavor density. Every draw hits with the intensity of a slow-roasted secret recipe.
Cult of the Pig: Every year, BBQ Pig fans stock up because once it's gone, it's gone. If you've had it
before, you already know. If you haven't, this is the year to find out what the fuss is about.

The Pig Companion: Built as the companion to our BBQ Pig release, this is the cigar you reach for
when the pit is roaring and the sauce is sticky. It's loud, it's proud, and it's made to sit next to smoked
pork on the plate.
Farm to Fire: José "Jochy" Blanco pulled leaves from the best beds on his farm, added a few secret
handfuls he swore would sing with smoke, and handed it to us. We treated his farm like an all-access
pass and built the blend around what the land gave us.
Pressed by Family Hands: Only a handful of rollers at Tabacalera Palma handled this lot. They
pressed it the way the leaves demanded, not the way a marketing brief asked, and the result is a
tactile, heavy press that smokes like a true pit cigar.
Flavor Density: Every draw hits like a slow roast: maple syrup heat, charred orange rind, salted cedar,
and a finish that reads like smoked ham and molasses-coated bark. If you love pit smoke, short ribs,
and anything mesquite, this one's for the table.
Limited by the Land: Limited by nature and by farm supply. The land decided the quantity. You decide
what to do with it.
