Drew Estate Releases Liga Privada Único Serie Ratzilla As DDRP Exclusive
July 16, 2015 (Miami, FL) – Drew Estate announced today that the Liga Privada Único Serie Ratzilla would be launched as a limited release to retailers participating in Drew Estate’s Drew Diplomat Retailer Program.
The Ratzilla is one of the most sought-after blends in the Liga Privada Único Serie line and has only seen a handful of retail releases to date. The Ratzilla, presented in a 6¼" x 46 parejo vitola, is a favorite among collectors and this new launch will mark the largest release to date.
From the Dominican Republic, Jonathan Drew stated, “There are many blends of diverse tobaccos that have been created throughout the years, which have never been sold nationally. Ratzilla, Velvet Rat, Piglets, Black Rat, Royale with Cheese, are just a few examples of hundreds that we have on file – to be used when the time is right, or to be left as relics of the past. The think tank energy at Drew Estate continues to evolve like killer bees around the hive.”
The Liga Privada Único Serie Ratzilla, produced at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua, features a Connecticut River Valley Stalk Cut & Cured Sun Grown Habano Wrapper, a Plantation Grown Brazilian Mata Fina Binder, and Nicaraguan and Honduran Fillers. The new batch of Ratzillas will be available in 10-count boxes, emblazoned with the Único Serie branding. The MSRP for the 10-count boxes will be $154.50, and the first shipments are slated for August of 2015.
When asked about the new Ratzilla release, Drew Estate president Michael Cellucci stated that, “our fans clamor over Ratzillas, trading for them on various cigar forums and doing anything to get their hands on them. We’re happy to be able to bring more Ratzillas to market and allow some of our fans that haven’t tried Ratzillas in the past to experience them for the first time. This new release also gives long-time fans more accessibility to our historically hard to find cigars, which is something we are working hard to accomplish across the board.”
