He later gave me a couple more cigars that i will be having a contest for (here and on social media...)
I've never figured out the naming convention. But the man likes to talk.

I like the T52 mo betta then the #9 but both are too darn expensive. I have very few of each. Undercrowns I dig a bunch and have several boxes hanging out. Look for all of em on the auctions, they sometimes go for very good prices.

I prefer the 9 to the T-52, but it doesn't matter because I stopped buying them altogether. They are not worth the price, to me. I find them underwhelming. The Liga L-40 lancero costs $16 at my B&M and it is mediocre at best. The only DE cigars I will smoke at this point are Undercrown Corona Viva. I traded for a box a while ago and have no intention of buying any more in the near future.

With the quality and availability of Tatuaje cigars, I see no reason to hunt down DE cigars that don't hit the sweet spot.
