DE/Liga Privada!

With the cold winter, I enjoy the Papas Fritas

Ligas like the ferals lose their umph with age. The thing I like about a feral is the strength. It loses that after a year. The undercrown corona viva has the best flavor imo and does well after a year's rest. Good daily smoke for the price. You can find boxes online for about $100.

Best unico is the liga 9 flying pig. I was disappointed with the 52 flying pig. UC flying pig is the best vitola in the Uc line. Do urself a favor and grab a box.

Ligas all started to taste too similar to me and I was a huge fan before but maybe my tastes have just changed. They all have a distinctive ligaprivada flavor that all go back to the no9 for me. To each their own.

Try the herrera tienda release from barrister. They're my local bnm that is a sponsored liga lounge. First lounge exclusive for HE.

I've only had the Undercrown, which I enjoyed. In fact, I might fire one up this morning.

I also have a No. 9 resting that I'll try at some point.

Smoke it. Only way you'll know if u like them or not. They already rest it 1 year before it gets sent out anyway.

yeah burn it already! As continuously mentioned, most of the line does not improve with age.

dont care what it is, like robusto size, but I'll cut a churchill in half any day...

What a great question!! I had to think about that for a while.


For me... Drew Estates does "earth" like no other. I am a DE fan for exactly that reason. They just do dirt the way I like dirt done.

So were you a DE virgin, and assuming you have smoked more than your share of maduros, I would say to start with a #9, or a MUWAT Baitfish. I find these two offerings really show off the earth as "only" they know how.

YMMV :)

I agree with "earth like no other" statement. They pretty much perfected that craft. I would recommend smoking Undercrown for a while. It's like trying a more affordable 12 year malt scotch before diving into a more refined 15 year+ single malt scotch.

First Dirty Rat I had was awesome but the rest have been 'meh'.

Didn't dig the UC or the No. 9.

T52 was pretty decent wouldn't mind a few more of the robs.

I haven't had issues with any L40's to date.

I'm not a fan of those guys but I do like the #9 & T-52, I like a Undercrown every now and then also
