Pappy Van Winkle Barrel Fermented Cigars: Flying Pig (Box of 12)

One of the most desired cigars in our portfolio, The Flying Pig, is presented in a 3 15/16 x 60 ring gauge vitola. A favorite amongst cigar enthusiasts worldwide, its unique shape is based on a photograph of an 1895 cigar salesman’s case. Due to its size and signature pigtail, it is one of the most complicated cigars to manufacture, requiring specialized training.

The Barrel Fermented Flying Pig features the same blend as our other Barrel Fermented cigars, so for tasting notes, think hickory, charcoal, and fresh earth. You can expect a smoother smoking experience with the Flying Pig due to the larger ring gauge. While shorter in length, it is a long smoking experience. 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. They 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.

The Flying Pig is a limited release smoke that is part of our Barrel Fermented Pappy Van Winkle cigar collection. Available in limited numbers and sold exclusively at pappyco.com.
