Aged LP9?

[thegoldenmackid]

A lot of this gets to the point of what is "aged."

I've had a few old (4+ year) Ligas and it's just not my cup of tea.

I agree with the above comments that say Dirty Rats with a year or so, but I would use a bit different terminology on that, but it's semantics.

Getting at the root of the question, I think that this year's batch of T-52s is proving to be a collector quality item as far as Ligas go, that being said, I wouldn't hold onto them until 2017 and expect great things.

That would be my answer exactly. I think NC's can be great with 2-3 years on them, but the darker/richer ones like Liga's, Tat Reservas etc can lose their luster after 4+. That is one of the reasons why I'm mainly a CC guy now because I don't smoke as often as others and I need a cigar that can age well.

With that said, there are some NC's that can be great after 4 years. Liga's haven't been around long enough to really know, but some of the natural Tatuaje's in the brown line etc can be really good. Fuentes obviously age well etc.

i only like the PL no.9s as fresh as i can get em. i feel that after a year or so the coffee notes are brought out and that is not what i usually got for in a cigar.

if you wanna age the LP line i would say the T52s are a bit better to do.
