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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
