Not sure how many there are here. I plan on getting there early to get a seat, my guess it will be crowded

Not sure why this would be. He just posted that he stocked up on them for Catsfest and they haven't announced a new Event Cigar yet.

Manifesto's?

Event only cigar that comes in Coffins of 2. Took the place of the Liga A. something like 9.25 x 38 and is a Liga Blend in a Herrera Estelli Wrapper

So considering that most people say DEs are best smoked relatively fresh and don't age well, will you DE whores actually get through your collections before they start to fade?

Basically what Kyle Said. I have some stuff to smoke and some for the collectors aspect. Kyle and I actually argue about the effects of the Swisher buy out. I personally feel quality has already started to take a hit due to the bigger business/higher production aspect so I chose to stock up on the normal Unico Line before they are ALL new production. To me the newer 9s/52s are not as flavorful and I have actually had a new release FFP blow up on me. The whole aging bad thing is really only for the 9s IMO. The T52s just mellow out a bit and the Unico Line is fine with Age. I smoked a couple year old Ratzilla on mothers day and it was phenomenal. However, to actually answer your question, if I feel the quality is declining, yes I will easily smoke through all the ones I have to smoke lol.

My palate is weird and I know it. Part of the weirdness includes not being moved by some cigars that many others love. I've been wowed by a single Liga here or there but I generally get very little flavor out of em (crazy, right). I've sampled FFP, L40, UF13, UF4, T52, #9 and none consistently sings to me. Ironically, I do like the regular production Undercrown but I like most all cigars with San Andres Maduro wrappers.

My palate also doesn't wake up for most Tats either (excluding TAA 2014, Avion 11, Black Label CG).

Not weird at all brother. Smoke what you like and like what you smoke. That's what it's all about. I will say the newer stuff is no where near as good as the older stuff. If I can track down an older T52 or Unico I'll send it to you to try and see if there's a difference for ya. Most of mine are still in sealed boxes so I'll have to ask around. Can't promise anything

Just a heads up, the deal at CI was a box of Liga or 2 boxes of Unico for 1 Manifesto Coffin. Infused stuff and Monks didn't count towards it, and I can't remember if Undercrown did.

I agree quality may go down down for drew estate but I think the biggest factor for that will be how long JD is involved. I like the fact that Swisher can help lobby for cigar smokers now that they own a actual cigar company. And it seems like the deal was 2 boxes unico or 18 singles or box of ligas got manifestos. Undercrowns acids and Amy other line of box purchase was the 5 free cigars cutter hat shirt deal.
