The flavor profile of the Unico Serie Feral Flying Pig starts out with a combination of sweetness and chocolate.  I also notice a cherry-like flavor that is very enjoyable.  The second third turns things up a notch by introducing spicy pepper.  Chocolate remains prevalent and nuts and cedar also join in.  The final third finishes things off with coffee, pepper, and some floral notes.

I found the Liga Privada Unico Serie Feral Flying Pig to be a very good cigar.  It has just the right mix of strength and complexity that should attract experienced smokers.  I would not recommend it to beginners due to the strength.  If you are looking for a cigar that has a little bit of everything, including a kick, however, give the Feral Flying Pig a try.  A single can be found in the $16 range, which makes this a cigar for special occasions in my book.  If you want to go all out, pick up a box of 10.

The Liga Privada Unico Serie Feral Flying Pig earns a rating of 3.75 out of four stars.

Perdomo Alabao Toro

Produced in Nicaragua at the Tabacalera Perdomo, the Perdomo Alabao gets its name from the Cuban expression for “wow!”  I’m no stranger to smoking Perdomo sticks, so I am expecting some good things from this cigar.  Will the Alabao wow me?  It is time to find out.

I am sampling a Perdomo Alabao Toro, which measures 6 x 54.  Other sizes in the line include the 5 x 54 Robusto and the 7 x 54 Churchill.  The cigar is a Nicaraguan puro that features a filler, binder, and wrapper of tobaccos from the Central American nation.  The wrapper is of the Nicaraguan Criollo variety.  The Alabao is said to be a flavorful yet smooth cigar that has medium-bodied strength.
