Kentucky Fire Cured Flying Pig is a distinctive 4.1 x 60 Perfecto from Drew Estate's MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured collection. Handmade in Nicaragua, this short, thick Figurado showcases American fire-cured tobacco that develops its characteristic smoky aroma through traditional hardwood curing.
Kentucky Fire Cured tobacco is hung in specialized curing barns where hardwood fires slowly smolder below the leaves. Hickory, oak, and maple are used during the process, creating the smoky and savory character that distinguishes Kentucky Fire Cured from conventionally air-cured premium cigars. The Flying Pig packages this unusual blend in one of Drew Estate's most recognizable cigar shapes.
