very nice! since LP's don't age well I think you should let some of those go ;)Quote:

UF-13 has been my favorite by far. My unicorns are the velvet rat and T-52 Pig. A man can dream right?
I'm looking too brotherQuote:

I've tried an undercrown but didn't care for it much. I do like the #9's I've had and the Papas Fritas are excellent imho, but since they come from the #9 that's not suprising. Haven't tried rats or pigs or the "fancier" ones but would like to sometime. If the #9s don't age well... How long is too long in the humi?
Same for me. Haven't tried a T-52, but I'll get to it someday.....Quote:

I would say Undercrown. It is in my opinion a gateway to DE. But I have only had like 6 DE/LP sticks.Quote:

Start with an Undercrown Corona Viva. If you like it go to a No.9, then T52, then get into the Unicos. That's usually the part of the slope that is covered in crisco, WD40, and snot. Once you hit that point there's no stopping, you're going to slide all the way down lol.....speaking from experience
I've enjoyed every (non-infused) DE stick I've tried. ... Except my first few FFPs. Came away thinking "meh, what's all the noise about?" Smoked one last weekend though and it was one of the best cigars I can recall. Not sure why but it did change my opinion of them.
I stock 2s or 3s of several of them (regulars and unicos) and always keep a box of UC CVs.
The Velvet rat I would smoke but I think the T52 pig is just more of a collecting thing. I'll just smoke a FFP if I want a good pig!Quote:

My Uzi Weighs a Ton was actually my gateway to getting hooked on the LP's. Unlike most I prefer it over the Undercrown.Quote:

Start with the 9 toro its the original Liga. Then try the T52. After that the rest are like their offspring.
9 belicoso
Yeah, that's what I meant. Like their signature stick. Thanks for all the answers!Quote:
