So I have smoked the Liga Privada T52 and No.9 many times. I would like to know what other people prefer?

The T52 or NO.9?

I have also had the T52 Flying Pig and the NO.9 Dirty Rat and those are fantastic as well

The Dirty Rat is a separate liga blend, that being said the #9 is my favorite

I've had several T52 FP's and #9 robusto's and they are both great. If I had to pick one I'd pick the #9. I've only smoked 3 of each, I don't smoke strong sticks very often.

Given my profile picture, I think you could guess my choice. The T52 is my choice, but they are both good cigars

I like the Undercrown, but love the 9. In my top 5 fave cigars.

Partial to the No. 9, easily in my top 3. T52 is still a great smoke. Love the Undercrowns for the price. Ain't nothin wrong with a Dirty Rat neither, though its the "worst" of the bunch IMO

I will tend to grab the T52 over the 9.

I must concur...

I have not had a T52 yet but I have some sitting in my humi that I will break out at some point. I really love the LP9 and must say I am truly digging the Undercrown right now. They are both delicious smokes!:tu

Both are good, but I like the No. 9 better.

IN the past I had smoked lots of the T-52s, but reasonly I purchased a box of the #9s, and how I think I like the #9 more. :2

Used to like the 9 but smoked through a box of the 52 and they won me over. The UC is very good too for the price.

Partial to the 9's. like the depth of flavors it consistently offers. My T52 experience varied. Some were great others from the same box were kinda meh.

I'm a T-52 guy hands down. I see a lot of guys recommending the Undercrown. It's a good smoke but do yourself a huge favor and Do Not go into it thinking it will be anything close to the 9 or T-52. Totally different animal and medium bodied at best. It actually has a unique sweetness to it. Just figured I would give you a heads up so your not disappointed with it afterward. I have seen a couple guys smoke it expecting it to be similar to the 9 and 52 and they bashed it afterward.

Was it a recent box purchase? I too have been noticing a little inconsistency as of late with the T-52. I am hoping it is just temporary as this is one of my favorite smokes.

The #9 is hands down my favorite. I would like the T52 if it were priced lower, but I think the 9 is worth the price of admission. Haven't had any Rats or the Undercrown yet.

Ive had a 52 Flying Pig but not the 9. What are the differences between the two? I thought the 52 was good and if the 9 is better than :dr.

The 9 was an absolute powerhouse while the 52 Pig lacked any real oomph. I found that the 52 Pig lacked the flavor that the regular 52 vitolas have and in my opinion were kind of disappointing. The Feral Pig is supposed to be a bumped up version of the 9 flavor profile wise.

Thanks. :tu That 52 pig was the only LP i've had. I need to pick up a few to sample.

Both are great, but I prefer the T52 slightly over the No. 9...except for the Flying Pigs. The No. 9 Flying Pigs are phenomenal and I prefer them over the T52 pigs.

both are very good. I like the T52 over the 9. But I have had good and bad experiences with both, really. They really need to be aged and the dry boxed before smoking. At least that's what I have found.

Agree on the dry boxing. The wrappers are so thick that they definitely benefit from either dry boxing or storing at lower RH.
