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.

"Saka LP#9" dated 3/2007 - got this from Speedbump via auction for CMac. Holy crap - this is luscious! Any folks in the know care to comment on this history of this thing? My only problem with it is that it's my only one 
Tastes like a Liga OR9 with a Flying Pig wrapper! Looks more T52-ish though - the wrapper would be a dead ringer for T52 minus the reddish hue

This is as close as I could get to an answer but still not quite

I have a cab of those OR9s and *this* is vastly superior.
"Over the course of 2010, Saka claims that 1,500 Toros from some of the early Liga Privada No. 9 run were given out to consumers at events, these were the SAKA LP#9 03/2007 banded versions."

Smoking a OR9 from my cab now for comparison...maybe the Saka 9 is a tweaked blend? The OR9 is much sweeter, with a wrapper that looks and tastes completely different. Of ourse I could just be on crack...who knows? Point is, that was one damn fine stick!
So the tannins that represent the OR9 so well were completely absent from the Saka 9 - cannot be the same stick. The mystery continues!

Monsterdg sent me a Siglo Limited Reserve Natural VI Tubo in a recent PIF. I've never smoked any of these before & I was pleasantly surprised with how good it is. Dense, full smoke with cedar, leather & a nice smooth, peppery note on the retrohale.
