There are better cigars but no better value than El Suelo. Got a 5-pack of delicious Pete Johnson/L’Atelier cigars for $12.

The 5.25x56 Terreno is well-constructed, gobs of smoke, spicy, not strong or peppery, and has a good finish. Nubbed it.

Great news! I can't wait for all these to rest for a few years

I don’t think I would rest them too long. I know the consensus on Liga Privadas are that they are better smoked out of the box and don’t really improve with age. 

[shaffer22]

That’s the case with most NCs. Let them acclimatize to your humidor a bit. But after that, smoke them! Some get better with 1-2 years, but most are optimized for smoking right away.

Had a Dirty Rat the other day. I don’t like much of the Liga line, but I loved that cigar.

I would love to see a note like this in a box of cubans...

 

[dumpster69]

I just cracked open a box of Las Calaveras 2017 46 that has been sitting in my wineador for a while. Loved it. Drank it with a Blanton's, and a root beer while reading the first Mitch Rapp novel.

Haha, yea, that'll be the day. I'd say it's a bigger chance/risk that they remove the box codes altogheter than letting us know who rolled them.

Kinda.  They are Eye of the Shark.  It was/is released with the Don Carlos Personal Reserve 80th as well.  

[Wertman]

They look great 

[shaffer22]

Picked up a box of 10 Oliva Serie V Melanio Robusto. I didn’t need them, but Famous Smoke had some kind of pricing error that let me walk away with those ten sticks and an eight-cigar Oliva sampler for a grand total of $45. Couldn’t resist. 

And the Melanio is actually a nice stick.

Box of Olivia Serie V Melanio Robustos

 

Love the Liga Privada line.  Give the T52 a try.  Youre gonna enjoy those No 9's.  No need in setting them down for years.  Just let them acclimate to your humidor for about 30 days or so.

I looked around at my local NC vendor and damn the prices are ridiculous. I have been smoking cigars for just shy of 20 yrs and I loved opus x and Padron 1964 for several years. When I first started smoking CCs they were more expensive than NCs. Now, just the opposite. It's nothing to pay 15.00 for a decent Padron 1926 or a Pepin Garcia selection. For that kind of money I can smoke Montes and Cohibas all day long. I have gotten to the point where 99.% of my cigars are Cuban. I am hopelessly addicted to the Cohiba/Monte taste profile and I just can't get excited about a 16.00 Padron -1926 #6 or a 30.00 family reserve. I do buy a box of Fuente sharks at Christmas each year and I hand them out to my buddies more out of tradition than anything else. All I can say is Thank God for FOH
