If I had the money and ability to source them at will, I'd smoke Unicos like nobody's business (UF-4s, UF-13s, FFPs, Velvet/Dirty/any Rats, L40s, etc) followed by T52 and #9 Toros with occasional DCs and Robs in there.

Since both fundage and source-ability are limited, I smoke more Undercrowns than anything else (probably 2:1 over Ligas), but hey, they're really good too. The CV is probably my favorite but they are all great and ALL age very well!

Beyond the Swamp.
L40, UF4, T52, Dirty Rat, #9, UF-13, FFP

I like them all though except the FFP because the format just makes me think am smoking a sausage and I can't be dreaming of sausage smoking ( Mental Hangup )... I have some undercrowns in the humidor but it is the only one I have had issues with.. So I smoke them as a cheaper smoke I can kinda not mind... The UF4 was nice but you have to be into that sharpness that comes in like the Liga 9 has a sharpness to it. I been getting more into that floral soft smooth complex melded sweet raisin nuance like the BHK 52 to me that is one of the best cigars around in my opinion ( Current tastes may change )... Some may say that is kinda ignorant but hey am still discovering and find it ROTT pretty good I find even though the T52 is a different cigar sometimes you get one with that sweet raisin nuance and with some rest etc it softens nicely. I would love to get a bundle of the UF4's and age them am sure they soften real nicely... Just my 2 cents...

My favorite is the Undercrown based on a combination of factors...availability, affordability, construction, taste.

Would I reach for a 9 or a T52 over an UC, if all things were equal? Yes, but they are not and that is why I have several boxes of UC and only a few 9's and T52 that pass thru my stock...

I'm weird, I look for no.9 in the summer and the t52 in the winter. So for me it's a tossup between the two.
The undercrown is in a distant 3rd. I enjoy it, but consider it an everyday type of smoke for me, I always find great deals on them.

I do not think LP ages well past 2 years. I just smoked an older l40 and a t52 pig, both were good, but lost a certain something. The sweet spot to me is in that 12 month range.

LP no. 9 toro blew me away the first time I smoked one, I went out and bought a box as my very first box purchase. The T52 was an excellent smoke but for me the No. 9 packed a little more of a punch and the flavor lingered on the palette a lot longer. The Undercrown is awesome for it's price point, being a Starbucks employee and all, but the flavors in all three are amazing, they will always have a spot in my humidor.

No. 9 - 1st
Undercrown - 2nd (price being a factor)
T52 - 3rd,

Just noticed I've never posted here before.
Undercrown
#9
T52
All very good and order is subject to change daily based on mood or ambient conditions. But I'll reach for a UF-13 before any of those as they are my favorite!

T-52
NO.9
UC

But like King said I'd take a UF13 usually before the others. I've started to slow up on the 13's as my local only has a couple boxes left. They're all great cigars though!
