Last night was cold, so I closed the garage door and had a short smoke, I wasn't crazy about it, but it did produce a lot of smoke, which surprised me....good thing I have 3 more to sample before I make my final decision.

For quite a while I was unimpressed with Perdomo's Lot 23, but I recently was given several of the Maduros and have really been enjoying them. I nubbed one last night while walking the dog after the Jag game



Pretty nice construction and a beautiful ash that lasted for another 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch after this picture.

I am a fan of the 23 Maddies! They taste different to me than most maduros, but still very pleasant!

At work last night had a couple, Gran Habano 2002 and a Famous Nic. 3000 (1st one and pretty tasty )

Am enjoying a nice Onyx at the local b&m right now.

I picked one of these up the other day, but haven't smoked it yet. How does it compare to the No. 9 or the T52?

I'd personally call it Liga 9 "lite". Here's my review:

The Undercrown by Drew Estate. This is the supposed follow up to the Liga Privada 9. Long story short:

Drew Estate’s made a huge splash with their traditional Liga Privada #9. A favorite amongst the factory’s rollers, Drew Estate had to tell the rollers to stop smoking the blend because of the high demand of the cigar. So the working man had to adapt…And adapt they did. Created by the rollers of the Drew Estate factory, the Liga Privada Undercrown uses tobaccos similar to the Liga Privada #9 but that are more readily available.

From all the research and talking with my local tobacconist it's basically the same blend with a different wrapper. The high quality rare wrapper of the 9 is what makes the 9 what it is. With the wrapper substituted, after sampling I'd prefer to call the undercrown Liga Privada 9 "lite" vs. a "follow up." It's practically a carbon copy to the 9, only with a slight spice at the begining and the flavors aren't as pronounced.

To top it off, it's priced a little less than the 9, with the toro coming it at about $8 and change, vs. the 9 of the same size which runs $13. It's good, and worthy of having a few around

First time I sampled this cigar I was not impressed. I got it in a sampler. When I saw what they go for, I liked them even less. Over priced and just bland.
