Not totally a fair comparason since they aren't the same blend or wrapper.
The T-52 is a new blend and wrapper while the LP#9 Flying Pig is an amped up LP#9.
There were also a lot less Flying Pigs produced.
Four or five months ago, Jonathan was kind enough to send me a handful of T-52 cigars from the test blends for the T-52 (blend #3) most of which I gifted off to other BOTLs, but the one I tried was just phenomenal. For anyone who went to CI's cigarfest '09, similar test blends of the T-52 were being handed out, although I believe those were blend #4.
Blend #3 was supposed to be the final blend, then Saka changed his mind, and wanted #4 to be the final blend, then he changed his mind again and it went back to #3, then #4.... Eventually, the final blend ended up being a conglomeration of #3 and #4, a #3.5 if you will. I just got my hands on one of the T-52 releases the other day, and I'm quite looking forward to trying it.
