i am a bit of a liga whore and the LP line was meant to be smoked fresh. sad part is i think may shops have older boxes because of the higher price point they carry. as of now i prefer the 9 to the t52 but i can not judge too hard because the two t52s i had where rott and the 9s i have had where all acclimated to my 62% humidor. i think a lot of the lp following isnt because the cigars are extraordinary but because they are good and they like the "liga lifestyle" lol fire up that ratzilla at some point and let us know what you think. right now i am loving the dirty rat and the ratzilla
