Belfour Spirits

 

Eddie Belfour Hat trick of awards NCAA, Gold Olympic, Cup. Eddie Belfour starts company with son Dayn (30) and daughter Reaghan (27). Not avg famous person slapping a name on a bottle. They are digging in deep. Buys own still in Whitewright, Texas. The pecan on his property inspire the pecan wood aging. Goes to Canadian Craft Distilling Institute, Moonshine University in Louisville, KY to release his whiskey in October 2019. Still fairly new. Dozens of fine details that are interesting, expensive, fun. They toast the barrels, not just char. Designed own bottle. Interestingly, they will proof each barrel by taste and change what they bottle at so the flavor they want is shipped. They air dry barrels 18 months! Trying all kinds of stuff including the pecan staves, but playing with humidity, underground, on end stacking, audio freq effects. Going to 15K barrels/ yr.

The final blend is medium-bodied, lush & ultra-smooth, flavors that only a shade grown wrapper can deliver.

Undercrown Maduro Cigars

In early 2009 we asked our torcedores to smoke less Liga Privada cigars because they were leaving too few to be exported. This request was met with the disappointment you would expect, but rather than being disgruntled they responded by blending their own signature liga.

Liga Privada No. 9 Cigars

Translated to English, “Liga Privada” means “private blend.” It is the perfect name, as this cigar was originally crafted not for resale, but for our own personal humidors. Dozens of intricate blends were created, but No. 9 was flawless in both flavor and character.

Liga Privada T52 Cigars

Meticulously blended over a period of two years to be a worthy humidor companion to our much heralded Liga Privada No. 9 recipe. With notes of black pepper and spice, it is our company president’s personal choice when desiring a stronger, more robust smoke.

Liga Privada Unico Serie Cigars

In our ongoing creation of the Liga Privada line, hundreds of different, distinct blends and vitolas are crafted in our ceaseless search for the perfect smoke. Most samples are dismissed with only a rare, select few being deemed worthy, but regretfully due to tobacco limitations, costs, and construction limitations, most of these blends cannot be made into their own stand-alone line.

Liga Privada 10-Year Aniversario Cigars

Our dedication to collaborate with the most renowned growers in the Connecticut River Valley resulted in the next chapter of Liga, the Liga Privada 10 – Aniversario. This full throttle beast of peppery spice is swathed in a robust Criollo capa from the heart of the Valley, where we grow the mighty leaf that graces Liga Privada.

Gone are the orange “pumpkin” suits and the crinkly white bags of past space missions. SpaceX founder Elon Musk wanted his astronauts to look better, so he had Hollywood costume designer Jose Fernandez (Batman v. Superman, Fantastic Four, X-2: X-Menu United) design what is now being called “the Musk suit”. If it looks like a tuxedo, the sleek, form-fitting, black and white one-piece is supposed to. No wires and hoses are obvious because they connect discreetly to the capsule seats, which contain many of the supporting systems. Doug Hurley pronounced the suit “very confortable”.
