Wait, WHAT? No Dirty Rat review??

[OLS]

Liga Privada Unico Series DIRTY RAT...

How is it that I search the forum for the words Dirty Rat and get no Dirty Rat review thread?
I don't mind starting one, and I'll hate it if there are three of em, but mostly because "what
business do I HAVE in writing a review thread on em anyway?"

I got this sent to me by Lear31MX and apparently I was lucky to get it. When I GOT IT it in 2010 it had to
be SO NEW on the market that to get one out of a box of 12 sent to me was NOT something I was aware
of as being super BOTL-ey. But man, was the best yet to come.

I never had a NC cigar that comes CLOSE to the taste I found in this cigar. Now that I have taken
the time to research the blend, I can definitely taste the Brazilian tobacco used as the binder.
Not sure if it is Mata Fina or not, but the tobacco adds unbelievable flavors to any blend it is used
well in, and this smoke is doing things I never imagined a NC cigar could do. I was able to detect
Vanilla, chocolate, balsamic vinegar, wood, and sweet, tangy pepper . All kinds of weird notes
and spicy pops came in and out, and even though the cigar was damaged and not drawing well,
the quality and stunning blend came through over and over. Just a phenomenal smoke, can't believe
it was just sitting in the humidor aging and getting better and better. I had no idea what I had.
I am not sure there is a better blend of Nicaraguan tobacco that I have ever had in 20+ years of
smoking it. I can't thank Anthony enough for sending me this cigar. I won't ever get another one,
I just don't smoke these cigars, and I don't buy them either. But even though on balance I still can't
enjoy most NC power cigars, this cigar just slapped me in the face and said "WISE UP, IDIOT."
DAMN FINE CIGAR.

I rated it 93 on my blog, and I'd bet it was better than that. It had a cracked head and did not draw
well as a result. It acted plugged when it was actually just an incomplete vacuum in the draw.
Finest NC cigar I ever smoked.

WOW
