The Liga Privada T52 is the companion line to the No. 9, sharing the same Brazilian binder and Honduran-Nicaraguan filler construction but using a Connecticut stalk-cut Habano wrapper in place of the No. 9's Broadleaf. The stalk-cut harvesting method, in which the entire plant is cut at once rather than leaf by leaf, produces a different character from the same Connecticut seed tobacco. Produced at Drew Estate's La Gran Fabrica in Esteli, Nicaragua.
