liga pravada #9

[jerseystepup]

Just picked up the last one at my B&m... they've never carried these before but said since they went so quickly they have more boxes on the way.. Whats the general consesus on these? the humi there sits around 73%.. Are you guys smoking these when you pick them up? or letting them rest a bit? Anything i get by mail i of course acclimate before i touch them, but just curious on these.. looks so damn good, but id hate to smoke it to early.

[kelmac07]

The few I bought I let rest a bit...never smoked one straight from the B&M. Shouldn't be an issue though. Light it up!! Great stick by the way. :tu

I would wait a week or two for it to dry up a little from the 73%... Otherwise they are :dr :dr

[coastietech]

I had mixed feelings about this stick... there were times during this that I really liked it and others where I would get weird harsh flavors. I think it was because it was so fresh. I have since bought another one that I'm gonna leave in the humi for a bit to see if it gets a little bit better.

Great stick. Would definitely let them rest a bit.

[dogface_313]

I love em. I smoked mine a couple days after getting it. Great stick

[ade06]

The only one I've smoked was stright out of the B&M and I was not a fan. But again, I've only smoked one.

If the rh is that high, I would let it rest for a few weeks. My b&m stays around 65-67% and the customers have noticed and commented that they seem to be enjoying the cigars more when they smoke them at purchase than in years before.

Personally, I think the LP9 is very, very similar to the Mombacho Thermonuclear and the Mombacho is quite a few dollars less and not such a jawbreaker.

this cigar gets alot of drama, everyone i know locally loves them, i would NOT pay full retail for one.... its a good 8-9 dollar stick. but not 12-13...

[troutbreath]

Pretty good smoke. Strong. Had one at the B&M (at a much lower RH), and really enjoyed it. It was priced higher than I expected, however.

I posted a review on these yesterday.

My B&M had them for $9.99 last that I saw them . Good cigar and the only one from Drew Estate that I will ever say that about . Cut it and test the draw . Then light it up if it's an easy draw . Other wise let it sit a couple days . Enjoy it .

[jerseystepup]

My b&m had them for 12.50 and opus fuente fuentes for 13.00

[tight_ash]

Great stick, and I think they smokes best around 65% RH.

Just got one today in the CRA sampler #1. I won't be smoking it for a while though! I may have to hide the sampler on myself so I can let them sleep for little bit!

[T.G]

At 73%RH the Liga Privada No.9 is going to taste like motor oil and smoke about as well.

Let it rest in a lower humidity environment for awhile, long enough to dry out a bit.

Great frickin' cigar BTW.

[BeerAdvocate]

Love these, I need more!

[dogface_313]

I picked up another, going to let it rest for a while.

Care to take a chance on a reasonable alternative? Smokers have told us these cigars are strikingly similar to Liga Privada #9s at a fraction of the price.

Noted. Thank you.

Noted. Thank you.

Appreciate it.

I think a text only post (suggesting an alternative) without the "promo" would have been just fine.

For what it's worth, I didn't offer up a sale or 'promo' in my post. Just an alternative to a cigar and a link (albeit through a giant picture) to that alternative on a thread that seemed appropriate. The salesman in me perhaps lacked better judgement. My bad.

I had one of these yesterday. I bought the LP9 back in March, so it had 6 months on it. Great smoke :dr

Some would say a picture with the Famous Smoke logo could be considered a promo.

It's all good.

If not my current favorite, the Liga Pravada #9 is in the top 3. Just picked up 2 from my local B&M for just over $10.00 each and smoked them last Thursday afternoon, within hours of the purchase, with a friend who's leaving for Kuwait soon. Very good stick!

[darkninja67]

A good stick but LP stuff seems to be overpriced IMO. Like the T52s a bit more though. Definitely let them rest if they were over 70% RH.
