Re: Illusione MJ12 v. LP no. 9
 

Geez, you must have some strong stomach!

The Fausto needs rest, in my opinion, there's too much going on with it.

The MJ12 is great but like others said it's a different animal than a LP9. Both are meaty, flavorful sticks but that's where the similarities end...in my opinion.

Yup, very strong for cigars and booze. I've had 4 Nics on a walk all before breakfast. Healthy stuff like carrots and tomatoes make me queezy though. :D

LOL!

By the way, I just thought of this but I would also lump the Tatuaje TAA into this conversation. I believe it is right up there with the LP9 as the best NC out there, both are absolute flavor bombs.

Brian I have a box of the Tat Miami Cojonu... I like them and their spice, but I can't put them with the LP9s. I think they're more on the T52 line with the flavors. Seems like you've got all the Great shops by you in Miami. With the NY Tax, I can't more than singles here. Can't wait to retire in 10 years to Florida, if I make it that long.:tu

Now that I've smoked the LP9 I believe it's in the top 3 of the NC that I've smoked. It has outstanding flavor!!! It will be my next box purchase.
