Opinion

What is your opinion of the Liga 9 and 52? I have always backed off of these due to price. But I broke down and bought a few of each. The 9 I find to be a great med-full cigar, very flavorful and just a great smoke. The 52 is full bodied and has a strong taste of black tobacco. The 52 to me is stronger than the 9.

The 9s are good cigars no doubt, but not to my taste. I really like the T52, in particular the Beli and Toro, but don't keep on hand for the same reason as you stated. Also the original T52 Flying Pigs were off the hook, the current ones not so much.

Too pricey and "trendy" for me. The new Opus basically. I'll stick to stuff from DPG at those prices.

I enjoy the T52s but seldom partake due to the price. I fell outta love with the Pigs use to like'em not so much anymore.

Seems a consensus, here, and it's a very "CW" type consensus. I share the view that they're extremely good cigars, I don't think I've had a T-52, but have had my share of 9s. I find them too expensive to smoke regularly, or even go into the shop to purchase singles.

IF I go into a shop, invariably, I find things I REALLY enjoy, and they're usually less than Liga Privadas.

My son, BBender does, though. He doesn't buy many cigars, but when he does, he'll spend coin and buy what he likes, but only singles or handfuls. He likes the 9s and Undercrown.

I'd take undercrowns all day long.
