The Liga Privada No. 9 was my first experience of a truly full-bodied cigar and it certainly lived up to its reputation.
Even in 37 degree heat, the construction and burn proved excellent, producing huge amounts of thick, creamy smoke with impressive ash retention and a consistent burn throughout. Flavours developed gradually, with roasted coffee notes and increasing peppery spice as I worked my way down the stick, while the aroma remained pleasantly sweet which I loved.
Powerful yet surprisingly smooth, this definitely isn't an everyday cigar for me, but it has instead earned a respected place in my humidor as a special occasion smoke.
