I would decribe the T-52 as a #9 light. If you enjoyed but T-52 and lean towards a more full-bodied smoke, the #9 will blow your mind! I've got a box of #9s that are so good as-is that it's hard to let them age...but I'm trying to show restraint. As my friend has decreibed them, they're like a steak dinner transformed into a cigar. Mmm, mmm, good!
