Liga Privada No.9

Ag03

I haven't written a new post in a bit so I thought today would be a good day to post because today I have my first Liga Privada No.9!! I first bought this stick because it seemed a lot of people were hyping it up big time! Then while letting it rest in my humi, I started reading all these people saying that the cigar is not worth the price tag and isn't as great tasting as it was all hyped up to be. Well this morning I pulled not from my humidor and headed out for an hour long drive to a buddies. I grabbed an iced coffee before getting on the free way and lit up the stick. (Pic here: http://i.imgur.com/zlHkiXR.jpg ) Let me say this... I'm very happy I bought this stick! It was smooth, woody, leathery, very mild spice when I got some ... And had the best burn and draw of any cigar I've had yet ! Perhaps I got the one perfect No.9 out of a thousand? I don't know but I will buy another one to find out ! This cigar does come with a complaint from me ...... I want more and it's a $13 stick so that means its not going to be a smoke I have very often. Unfortunately my finances for the time being are going to cut into my cigar money in the sense that I won't be buying 13 dollar sticks all that often lol. But If anyone has been deterred by the people saying that its not all that its hyped up to be, try it! I recommend pairing it with the coffee cause it was fantastic and this was the first cigar I was able to do this to http://i.imgur.com/UaXaUam.jpg !!! It was a excellent smoke till the very end ! I can't wait to try more in that line up! I think the T52 is next on my list ! Anyways bed time for this guy ! Happy smoking friends!

Glad you liked it.

I'd be one of those people you speak of. Wait till one blows up on you, and the $13 will feel like a smack inthe face. They do pair well with Islay scotchs and the heavy peat. Coffee as well, I always liked them in the morning.

Edited as best I could. To learn how to do it yourself, just click "Quote" and look at what I added in the pointy brackets.

Note: I don't know how to resize photos in HTML, but I'm pretty sure whatever you're using to host them will have a way to do it which should automatically change it here.

I love the stick, and have been lucky not to get any of the exploding variety. If you liked that, try the T-52....

My favorite stick, never had a bad one and I have smoked a lot of them.

I'm with Catfish on this one. I think they have great flavor, but their quality control leaves alot to be desired. Out of probably about ten I have smoked, I have had two with severe tunneling, one plugged so badly I couldn't even draw on it, and one straight exploded about a third of the way in.

If these were $40 bundles, I could somewhat justify the inconsistency in construction, but at $12-15 a stick? No way. If you are charging premium prices, premium products are expected, ALL the time. Considering almost half the LP9's I had had severe issues, I have been pretty reluctant to spend any more money on that line.

That being said, I have smoked a few T52's and never had any issues with them. I like them more than the LP9's too, flavor wise. Just a great habano. The Undercrowns have also been performing well so far, I picked up a 10-pack for $50 from Ccom a while back.

I've had issues with the UC as well. The No 9 and FFP I had the most issues with. I've had enough bad experiences to give up on them. No reason any cigar of that quality should explode when I have Padron right next to them that NEVER have an issue. I don't like Fuente, but their quality is indicative of the price.

I recently had my first No.9 as well and thought it was fantastic. I dislike the possibility that they restrict the production to keep the price high, but oh well.

The Undercrown was a disappointment for me, of the three I have had one burned even, but tried to go out repeatedly, one tunneled like the mole men, and the third canoed badly. I'm not enough of a fan fo the flavor to buy more than I already have.

BigT06

It's no secret I'm a LP fan. I have prob smoked 75-100 LPs and easily 100+ Undercrowns. I have maybe had 5-7 sub par experiences in that entire time. Either I'm super lucky or I just got better boxes than some guys I guess. I know some folks have had bad luck with em, but until I do, I'll keep on smoking em.

Rhamlin

I've smoked 5 and only one ever wowed me. The rest were just ok. I think the Undercrown is a much better smoke. And much more consistent stick to stick.

I'm not a de fan and won't support them...so all my experiences have been the same. But I do hear a ton of problems with them and the money won't kill me but the product might lol
