Very cool interview. Was the audio and video supposed to keep jumping in and out of sync?

thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure what that is all about. We were using two cameras so it might have to do with the editing being just off. I'll check with Mario (our editor)

Cool interview seems like a fun guy to talk to. I thought his take on LEs was interesting, but, did he not say that "ratzilla" would be a LE? Almost goes against his view on LE runs. I thought that was confusing.

Seems like most of the 9 and 52 are limited these days due to their popularity! Too bad they can't produce more of these.

Nice video. Background music was a little obtrusive at time, but that might have been my computer settings.

I agree. The background music was really distracting.

Thanks for the interview though. Looking forward to the future lp releases.

Thanks for the feedback. We're going to try it with less background music.

No. 9 - yes; T-52 - no.

I would SO be into that Petite Robusto he talked about ... the main thing missing in the LP line to me is a quicker smoke (the Dirty Rat, though small, is a very slow-burning smoke). So that really appeals to me!

I agree with the others, Dan. Great interview, good filming and editing with the exception of the out-of-sync issues. I'd also turn the volume on the music way down.

And if it were me I'd pick another music track altogether ... the free-form jazz vibe doesn't fit SS imvho, though it works with the way the video was shot. Maybe something classical instead? IDK, it's been a while since I put videos together, lol.

I like his take on LEs too, and I agree. I think his plan on the Ratzilla was probably similar to the Flying Pigs ... they'll release them regularly if people want them (and in the case of the Pigs, the have enough of the leaf).

This makes me want to smoke an LP tonight :cbig:

Is the Liga No. 9 going to be a regular production stick just in limited quantities yearly?

Yes that's what it has always been. Some years they have more than others, just depends on the yearly yields of certain tobaccos.
