T52 Belicoso.....No love?
Huge fan of the T52's....Just a wonderful smoke.
One thing I have noticed is that the Belicoso has almost always been available since the line launched. Even when there were no other OR's left to be found, the Belicoso was well stocked by most retailers carrying the line.
So it begs the question....Is there no love for the Beli?
And the next logical question, is why?
Seems like that size would lend itself well to the flavor profile

I dig belis, but v-cut everything I can, so typically avoid belis/chisels/perfectos in daily smokes...sure, something special is fine, but I'm a v-cut lancero junkie all the way

fat kid logic!
I'm guessing it's because belis cost a bit more than toros, but they're the same size, and people just don't want to pay extra for the pointed cap.

Please stop sharing this news;-) More for me. Fav size
Why go for the other sizes when there are double coronas to be had?

Had one yesterday for the 4th and just loved it...
I am in the same boat.
Would have to say this. Just not worth the difference in price to me. That being said, if its the only Liga they have, I will smoke it.
soon as I can track down some ligas that I can afford I'll tell you which I prefer, lol. 5 packs are just not pocket friendly to me right now, I've heard great things but extra cash is few and far between to only get 5 sticks even though they may be far superior to what I can afford.
I'd be interested to see if this wasn't just related to LP. I personally don't buy a lot of Belicoso or Torpedoes either for that matter. Just not my thing

People cry about how bad tobacco is, but do they realize how bad water is? Water can be chemically synthesized by burning rocket fuel. Water is the primary ingredient in herbicides and pesticides. Water is the leading cause of drowning. 100% of serial killers, rapists, and drug dealers have admitted to drinking water. And probably most alarming...100% of people exposed to water will die! By comparison tobacco is a pussy.

That's exactly why...
But, food for thought... Usually, in most cases, the only the best torceadors roll the torp's & beli's, so you can have something extra to think about that next time you grab a stick out of the walk-in.

^now you got me all concerned... like maybe I should only buy belis from now on!

Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of torps and beli's in general but when they were the only T52s I could find I did buy them. If given the chance I would pick the toro over the beli just to save some cash, but that's not a knock on the beli its a excellent smoke, I'm just cheap.
Same here, I love the beli size, but only smoked one. All I can find is the Toro size at my local B&M. When I find them I grab a handful! Sucks @ $15/stick, but I love them!
