So you've tried the UC pig?
No.9 > Undercrown.
In my opinion, the Feral pig is the best. Why? Not only is it the most enjoyable, but it's the only one with a different profile. The number 9, 52 and undercrown can all be purchased in different vitolas. I bet 99 percent of all people (myself included) would not be able to tell the difference between a undercrown gordo vs an undercrown pig if they were blindfolded.
This is a great point. The Undercrown Pig (and the No.9 pig) were stouter versions of the regular releases, but the FFP is the only one with a unique presence.
To be completely honest, I've found I personally prefer the regular-size cigar for actual smoking, for two reasons. 1, the regular ones aren't rare, so I don't have sky-high expectations, and 2, the regular versions actually seem to smoke better. They're more comfortable to hold and to smoke.
That being said, I do love these purdy piggies as eye-candy in my humidor drawer!
This month I smoked a no 9 pig and a t52 pig. Both are nowhere as good as when they were fresh. I would say almost past their prime. Stop looking at them and smoke em fellas!
They have mellowed out a lot over the years. I've heard from someone that the 2007 No.9's are smoking phenomenally right now thought, so I'm gonna hold them and see how they do in another couple years. Maybe the pattern will repeat!
