BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Sounds like another solid showing from Liga, cant wait to horde them.. I mean try them out.
Thats awesome that they use the "scraps" from the T52 and the 9. I'm assuming the wrapper is also a stalk cut oscuro just like the other two? I'm sure this tastes very similar and hopefully it will be more readily available than the 9's & T52s!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but nr 9s are not stalk cut. T-52s are stalk cut.
I know for sure the T-52s are. You may be right about the 9's. I just checked the site, and didn't see any mention about stalk cutting the 9's.
:bigeyes:
Awesome review, and sounds like my new special winter smoke if I happen to get some (fingers crossed)!!!!

Couple quick comments:
1) Broadleaf is typically stalk-cut - it is very unusual for Habano to be so, hence one of the reasons the T52 capa is unique.
2) The wrapper on Papas Fritas is 2nd cuts of the capa used on the No. 9 - typically the leaf portion closest to the rib, this is why they are not as pretty and have more pronounced veins.
3) I agree the price will be crazy in high tax states, but that is the case for all cigars - there will be plenty of retailers in less taxed states that will ship these to make them more affordable.
4) And as I have said from day one, if we didn't disclose these were table trimmings, no one would ever guess it - it smokes as good as any and better than most long fill coronas imo.
Glad you guys liked the cigars.

I'm with every one else... Can't wait to get my hands on a few tins (or case) of these. It is just about the right size and if it has any similarities to other LP products, its gonna be good...
Looking forward to these. 40 minutes is my drive home from work. Coincidence? I dont think so.
