What did you expect.
What did you experience in contrast?
Talk to us.

This is like saying a Chevy is disappointing.
How? Was it a Vette or a Cavalier?
Was it the speed from 0-60?
Was it the braking?

First off...I haven't lit up a No. 9 in a while, so maybe it would have been an idea to do so for comparison value? I guess that where I'm coming from as of late...is that there have been a few great new releases this fall. Stand outs for me have been the Viaje 50/50 Toro and the My Farther Le Bijou. It's like the manufacturers are upping the game with their new blends...to appeal to the "boutique smoker". Certain cigars have their own identity...and the Liga No. 9 is right in there with them. "For me"...the T52 was suffering more of an identity crisis than having an identity for itself. I just didn't detect anything standout about it. Don't get me wrong...it was a good smoke for sure. I guess I was expecting something different though. I didn't notice any real strength at any given point, and this was something that stood out in reviews that I had read. Granted...I do smoke alot more full body, strong cigars lately...and the maduro Principe that I smoked later on was fantastic. Again...Identity.
I've got another T52 in the humi that I'll hit again in a day or two, just to let it acclimate a bit more from shipping.

Thanks.
That helps.
Tastes vary as all know.
This just may not have to do with shipping.
It just may be it does nothing for you.
I have had cigars others flip over and frankly have scratched my head wondering.
Give that second one a shot and if it turns out it is still not for you, at least you gave it a second shot to wow you.
The T-52 just seems to start out like it will be a strong cigar but quickly mellows down considerably. It is definitely a special cigar due to how it came about but again, not all cigars are for all.
The T-9 is a much milder cigar of totally different tobacco.
