Wow - what amazing photos! We can not guarantee an ash like that on all of them - that was crazy - looks like a f'ing ad!
Side bar, I read various posts saying the #9 is better than the T52 or the opposite, that both are amazing or that they both are not, I see some folks rave about the Dirty Rat while other guys say they "don't get it" and so on.
I think all of these are fair minded reviews.
Liga Privadas are like all cigars - their ultimate merit can only be judge by -you- individually.
Imo, the No. 9 Toro, the No. 9 and T52 Corona Doble and the Dirty Rat are the best of the line and these happen to be four vitolas I smoke the most frequently myself because of it. My least favorite are the robustos because I don't believe they afford either blend the time to develop in the same way. However, I know other guys who swear the Robusto are hands down the best...
Cigars are a very individual thing and I always say, "if you are making a cigar that everyone will like, you are then making a cigar that no one will love..."
