Drew Estate (Liga Privada) Bashert Flying Pig Review

Crazy luck was on my side and I won a Bashert as well as a bunch of other cigars from a contest that szyzk (Andrew) ran ( http://www.stogiefriends.com/forum/thread/3460/bir... ).Bashert, meaning soul mate, is not really part of the Liga Privada line as it was a one time release made for the wedding of Marv Samael of Drew Estate. Non-the-less it is rumored to use the same tobaccos as the Liga Privada line and came rolled in the same vitola of the Feral Flying Pig. I decided to smoke this cigar a couple hours prior to getting ready for my own wedding. Seemed fitting to relax with my best man and puff away while writing some vows that were in my head. I decided to take a few pics and jot down some notes about this cigar too.So, here is a quick review of the Drew Estate Bashert.Twisting the tail on this pig is all I needed. Although I have one on standby, no cutter was requires. The cigar draw perfectly and offers a slight mineralistic tobacco flavor with a little bit of hard woods.A couple clicks of my torch and she lit up just fine. I always get a kick when the oils continue to burn even when I take away the lighter.Right out of the gate I get a good chunk of flavorful smoke that carries with it a combination of wood, kitchen spices, leather, and earth. I am reminded a lot of the flavors of the Liga Privada No. 9 series. As with most cigars from the Liga Privada line, this is a smoke bomb! As the cigar heats up and passes the elbow the flavors and power build up bringing with it a delicious sweetness. It tastes almost like black cherry. For the entire smoke I keep thinking to myself about how flavorful, smooth, and consistent this cigar is. No harshness at all. The burn does wonder off and needs correction but being a non production cigar it is of very little concern.Great from beginning to end. The only issue was the burn, but with flavor like this I didn't give two damns about the burn.
