I will very much be looking forward to this new blend, thanks to The Beard I got some #9's for a sweet price, I've only had one T52 and I thought that one was good so hopefully alex can fill us in or anyone at C.com who knows something.
I thought the 52 sort of sucked. I like the 9 but hell I'll give it a whirl.
i too prefer the no.9 but the t52 wasnt bad. i just feel it could have used some complexity. Maye the new filler will provide that.
It's funny, I know most people prefer the No 9. I don't know, I've had two and I just thought they were ok. I've got two more that I plan on trying again. One robusto and one toro.
Tat, in the overall scheme of things they are both over-rated. 9-12 bucks for the #9 is way too high. I'll have a lx2 over a privada any day and they are cheaper. In my opinion they are better anyway. But the #9's do have a nice flavor profile I enjoy. I just hat how expensive they are.

I'm with you on this one 100%. Which I know is rare for you and I! lol But I thought the 52 was pretty crappy, but I've always really enjoyed the 9. I'd love to give the new one a shot, but if it has a similar flavor profile as the 52, I won't be impressed.
I wasn't a fan of the #9 when I first got them, but after being in the humidor for about a year they really started to come around and I can say I enjoy them quite a bit. I've only had the T52 once, but aside from a bumpy first 1/4 inch, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I'd be interested to see what they do with this new one.

Agreed on the price - there is a whole heck of a lot of competition out there at that price, and they better be really, really good. I believe Jeff Jackson hooked me up on the No 9s, though. Think I paid about $5 for them, which I was very happy to do so!
