    I still have 4 lps that have been sitting for almost a year. Disappoints me to hear this, I have a huge backlog ofsmokes to get to and I like my stuff rested. Anybody ever wondered why lp 9s are said to be smoked right away? From an infusion company, and their "normal" blend had to be smoked right away? Again I haven't smoked more than 2 lp 9s, but why aren't they good rested and what is the logic behind this? I just don't trust DE anymore all my cigars are better to my tastes with a year of rest.

    Its personal preference really.. with age the No.9 Loses that kick so to speak and becomes very mellow and chocolatey (in my opinion). I like them both ways, rested or fresh, but alot of people like them fresh compared to rested. So its not to say the No.9 is bad aged its just different. I am sure someone will come in and explain it better then my noob self but i tried.

    From what I gathered from Kuzi, the #9's have gone thru significant aging before leaving the factory so they are ready to smoke ROTT.

    Yes, in another thread on liga 9's kuzi mentioned that DE ages them until they pass a "taste test" so they are properly aged when you buy. So, Id give em a week or 2 to stabalize at your humidity, then smoke em up! Im sure if you held onto them though, theyd still be great. As Jhewey said, it's just your taste.

    This thread reminds me that I have a no.9 (Thanks Tony!) Maybe I'll light it up in the next month or so! I can christen our new deck when we move! I wish I had a B&M that stocked these... Maybe I'll have better luck in KY.
