Quick Smoke: Liga Privada T-52 Corona Doble
15 Nov 2015
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
The underlooked half of the Liga Privada core blends, T-52 features a Connecticut-grown Habano wrapper that is stalk-cut and cured (meaning instead of just curing the leaves, each tobacco stalk is cured whole). The blend features notes of wood, leather, black coffee, and earth. Construction is excellent. There’s a slightly sour quality that comes and goes. Maybe my tastes have changed, or maybe the T-52 has changed, or maybe this was just an anomaly, but, while pleasant, this cigar didn’t live up to its $15 price tag.
Verdict = Hold.

Liga’s have totally changed over the last few years…not what they used to be imho. Could be the up in production?
Tastes like a Swisher Sweet. Some day Stogie Guys will report a collaborative blend between Drew Estate and Swisher, the Liga Sweet! And it will sell north of ten dollars.
Just teasing the fan boys.
