CC VS. NC Win?

Last night I had a Liga Privada T52 and a Cohibo Esplendidio - at the same time. The T52 looked great, very oily wrapper, tons of smoke, near perfect burn and very little flavor. It was so dissapointing that 1/2 way into it I fired up the Cohibo - which I have enjoyed in the past, but it didn't do enough for me, so I went back to the T52. Both losers in my book, but I suppose the T52 won. Not really by the rules of the thread, but thought I would post it anyway.

Last month a Davidoff Diademas Finas better than the '01 CoLa.

Last year, I smoked a Tat Noella and MC #4 at the same time and while both were great and different, I liked the MC #4 better.

You smoked a T52 with very little flavor?! I LOVE those cigars and think they have quite the complex flavor....I'm thinking you got a hold of some counterfeit T52s. I must ask....was 'Liga Privada' written in cursive or plain text on the band?

The 2 Escencia robustos I smoked this weekend blew away everything else I smoked.

Really? there are fake ones out there? It came from another brother and I don't recall what style of writing was on the band. Had a similar problem with my 1st LP #9 too, but subsequent ones have been excellent. I'll try another one tonight to see if it's just me, or if I got a dud.
