Flavor Profile:
The Liga Privada Velvet Rat offers a rich and velvety smoking experience, balancing bold flavors with extraordinary smoothness. Opening with notes of cocoa powder, espresso, earth, and black pepper, the profile evolves into layers of sweet cream, dark fruit, and subtle baking spice. The Lonsdale format promotes a cooler, refined smoke, allowing the blend’s complexity to shine through with an incredibly creamy texture and a long, slightly spicy, and sweet finish.

Story and Accolades:
The Velvet Rat is a prized gem within the Liga Privada Único Serie — a line devoted to rare, one-of-a-kind blends. Initially created for private events and select retailers, the Velvet Rat was designed as a softer, more refined cousin to the Dirty Rat, offering a smoother, more elegant interpretation of Liga Privada’s signature richness. Rolled exclusively by Drew Estate’s most senior torcedores and released in very limited quantities, the Velvet Rat has achieved critical acclaim and ratings consistently in the 92–94 range, praised for its flawless construction, complexity, and silky smoking experience. It is highly sought after by collectors and seasoned aficionados alike.

Pairing:
Pairs exquisitely with a fine aged Cognac, a creamy cappuccino, or a medium-bodied Syrah, complementing the Velvet Rat’s layered, smooth, and luxurious character.
