I received an email yesterday from an online cigar shop that the 'LIGA PRIVADA T52 FLYING PIGS' and 'LIGA PRIVADA UNICO SERIES DIRTY RAT' had come in ... so I went to look and sure enough ... both in stock. I quickly put a box of each in my cart ... but I had to to stop to go get my credit card. When I got back to my computer ...

... they were sold out. Yep ... that quick.

I looked to see if they had any 4-packs left ... and the only thing left were three 4-packs of the DIRTY RAT ... so I grabbed them. I read that this release of the Dirty Rat is the first in this series ... so hopefully there will be more.

I could not believe how fast they sold out ... oh never mind ... yes I can.

At least after the long wait for the DIRTY RAT ... I was lucky enough to score a box. That is the one I REALLY wanted out of the two anyway.

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!

The same thing happened to me on the s&b's. There was a hiccup on the checkout and just the few seconds to fix it they were gone. I wound up getting a half a box later so all in all it worked out. It's just amazing how fast the releases go out.

It might be different at a local than it is on the internet ... so depending on how many he has in stock ... they may last longer before they sell out ... if the locals don't know much about them.

They are both pretty pricey at about $12 apiece for a small cigar ... but worth every penny for the flavor and punch they produce. That .... and the fact that you are just able to get them at all (as with all limited releases).

Many will never see them or have the chance to try them at all ... I think I waited for a year or more after TG sent me the 'rat' to finally score some.

There will be more Dirty Rats coming out in the future. In fact, there might even be some new sizes released in the future. While I don't know if the decision regarding full scale production or not has been made yet, when I was down at the Drew Estates factory in Esteli a few weeks ago, Jon gave each of us a 6x44, 6x46, 7x44 and 7x46 Dirty Rat.

As for Flying Pigs, you might see them again someday, you might not. The current 3000 boxes of T52 Pigs are all that is publicly slated right now.
