Padron 1964 maduro or Liga Privada #9

I've had both (thanks to the kind bombers around here).

Pushing aside scarceness of supply and hype, I really loved the only Padron 1964 I ever hard.

I was also given two T9s by kind people. The first one tasted like tal wrapped in fireplace ashes. The second one tasted like bark from a tree that had been scorched by lightning. For me, they were the most overrated cigars I've ever smoked. The few Undercrowns I've had are much, much, better although to me they're nothing special.

And if it looks like I'm being overly Padron biased, I did smoke an Opus X another kind person here gave me. It was my birthday smoke. It was quite pleasant, but it didn't deliver the life-changing experience I thought a $20 cigar should.

smoke both....simultaneously. #baller

serious answer though....keep in mind i'm not a huge fan of the 9 (it's good but i prefer the t52)......so of your two original choices i'd say go with the padron.
if not go with the t52, don't pay more than $15 for a single though.. some places have the liga privada prices hiked up stupid crazy.

awesome. I guess I'm #baller ......... let me see if I can find it

Not even a fair contest. I'd take even a normal Padron over a liga any day.
