Liga Privada T52's - Odd smell?
Ok, I've smoked a lot of cigars and I know that I do NOT have the most refined palate. Many folks here are very good at distinguishing flavor profiles and describing them. Sometimes I too can detect different flavors. But, I like what I like and know what I enjoy. I had a LP T9 awhile back and loved it. Been searching for more and bought a box of the new T52's about a week ago. I've had 4 and am not a huge, huge fan, especially at the price point. But I have noticed a very distinct smell that is not pleasant and takes away from the enjoyment. It's an acrid smell like plastic burning; you know it's unpleasant when you smell it. Anyone else exerienced anything like this? Thanks. Steve

I have not experienced anything like that with the T52s. In fact it is one of my Top 3 favorite cigars. I wish I had a box.

Re: Liga Privada T52's - Odd smell?
I believe I read somewhere before that the specific type of wrapper used on the Liga Privada sticks puts off an oily type of smell. I actually enjoy the smell. All the LP's I have smoked have put off a great deal of white smoke and the only smell I can think to describe the scent they put off is "oily" but IMO in a good way.
Maybe someone else can enlighted us more on what type of wrapper is used and if it in any way can cause this.

Can't say I've ever smelled something I would describe as burning plastic from a T52. How long ago did you receive the cigars? If it's recently, you might just want to stick them in the humidor for a few months. |

I have noticed the smell you talk about when I bought two, decided to leave the other one in the humi for about a year. Maybe I should take it out and give it a try.

You weren't wrong, I was just trying to clear up something that is oft misunderstood due to the use of simplified descriptions for marketing purposes. I can't think of any cigar manufacturer or vendor who uses "Habano" as a color description. I suspect whomever published that might have jumped to conclusions regarding the most commonly seen shades of these tobaccos of Cuban descent and mistakenly thought that the term was associated with the shade.
