Each liga in the BDL series is intentionally designed to hit a different strength and flavor profile. Liga 5 Maduro brings a San Andres Maduro wrapper, Nicaraguan long-filler and binder. It's profoundly rich yet smooth, with a fulsome and complex flavor profile including notes of spice, coffee bean, toast, and earth. Out of the gate it offers a spicy, zesty finish with underlying pepper and sweetness. Gently box-pressed, it's medium to full in strength.

BDL Balthazar series: this is one of the finest all day values we've come across, and though we carnival bark from time to time, I don't say that lightly. We're all about value for sure. Yet BDL is not a "value brand" per se. There is nothing economical about these blends other than price to you. They're super-premiums made with top materials including tediously fermented, aged tobaccos, and they're meticulously constructed..... at an all-day price of $3 to $3.50 delivered. The term "super-premium" is overused, and used loosely, yet if you smoke these boutique blends side by side against $10+ cigars, these ligas are each right there and then some. Hailing from Raymond Pages and his Tabacalera Pages factory in Esteli, Nicaragua - Raymond was the right hand man and young protege to AJ Fernandez for years before moving out on his own. And like AJ in his earlier days, Raymond made the decision to do things a little different: it's not easy to gain traction and build a reputation, so his idea was massively overdeliver on quality and price these razor-sharp, at risk of having some customers form the perception the cigars are cheap since price is cheap. We love that move. It's a customer-first mentality and says "let me prove it to you." I know you will find the price-to-quality ratio off the charts because Raymond is a tremendous talent and Team CP is geeking out over these blends. Take a dive into this pool - or just a toe-dip - and let us know.

Our staff of cigar nuts compares BDL Liga 5 Maduro favorably to Drew Estate Liga Undercrown Maduro, Ave Maria Reconquista, and Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro in terms of cost and flavor profile.
