Review # 93
Price $9.45.- $19. Strength: Full 6 x 52 Country of Origin: Nicaragua Wrapper Color: Maduro Wrapper Origin: Connecticut Wrapper Leaf Type: Broadleaf Resting time: 5 months Storage 67 degrees 67 humidity Prelight: Subtle sweet smell with a hint of grass and apple 1st 1/3 Dark chocolate, black coffee, molasses, leather, cacao powder, spices and a nice creamy texture Great draw and straight burn line and smoking medium in strength. 2nd 1/3 It now finishes with a bit of pepper and earth on the finish, continuing with the dark chocolate and coffee and staying very smooth. Final 1/3 The leather and earth increase and the burn is staying very straight, never really was a full strength cigar to me There's a lot of hype about this cigar and consumers have high anticipation and willingness to get one to try. The cigar is constructed very well but there are so many better cigars out there for so much less out of you pocket. Not to say that the cigar isn’t good, it’s just way over price along with the value, flavor ratio. Cigars that beat this for me are the Kristoff Ligero Maduro Robusto, Casa Magna Colorado Gran Toro, Ashton VSG Enchantment, Genesis The Project by Ramon Bueso, Aquitaine EMH, Room 101 Daruma Sucio, Room 101 Master Collection One… I could go on…… Smoke time: 1hr 35min Score: 7.9 out of 10

Thanks for the review Dan. Only a 7.9? WOW!!! These are very tasty to me. They have a hint of sweetness that I dig.

Count me in the "I don't get the love for LP #9" camp. I get more complexity and flavor out of a $3 Genesis the Project than I do from any #9 I've had. I love, love, love the Liga Privada T52, but IMNSHO the #9 is waaaaaaaay overpriced for what you get.
But, as always, smoke what you like, like what you smoke, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I enjoy the #9 a lot, but the T52 is probably a top 3 for me. I don't smoke a lot of either, but I buy the T52 whenever I see them at my B&M. For me, they are that good, even at $15 a stick.

I might just pick one up and let it nap for a year to give it another try. The longest I'd let one sit previously was about four months.

I love the #9 and would rate it higher but I can agree Kristoff makes one just as good for less. But IMO it's the GC Signsture.

Dan, nice write-up, thanks for the review...
A buddy of mine turned me onto these and he flat out loves them.....for a $12 smoke (purchased at a couple of different shops, immediate smoke), definitely a tasty smoke, but they would be better at $6 a piece ![]() |
