liga whore @lvfcrook1503 needs a manifesto now lol
Haven't tried many, but I have smoked the #9, Undercrown & Herrera Esteli and enjoyed all of them. I have a MUWAT, but haven't smoked it yet. Never had or seen any T52 or Unicorns at the B&M as of yet...
Just picked up a T-52 the other day looking forward to that and a #9! Plus going to a cigar event tomorrow, so lets hope I will get something good from DE!:cheerful:
Is it a Drew estate event??? They are the bestQuote:

No it is being done by a shop called the Smoke Inn, but DE seems to be the main sponsor.Quote:

I was bombed a #9 and am letting her rest 'til the right occasion-told she already has a year on her! Looking at T52 samplers: which vitola?
I usually pick them up from my local B&M on the rare occasion I buy them. I like them, but not as much as others. A side note (and the bigger reason I posted this) is I think I recall Steve Saka saying in an interview that he doesn't let #9s rest for longer than a couple years. IIRC he said they tend to decline in taste after too long. Maybe another member here can help me with that. I could be wrong! Just a heads up so you don't hold it too long and end up disappointed.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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
damn...I was watching an auction for ratzilla's...I got out early...someone ended up paying $26 for 3...that's 26 bux EACH. insanity
I wonder what my velvet rats could fetch?Quote:

all that anal about keeping track of things, they got overlooked. I just may have to look into that. Thanks for the suggestion.
