Aged T-52

[Argus17]

I have a few left from a 4 year old box. One of my favorites.

Enjoy most of the Liga/Unico gars, but I've noticed if you like them strong & spicy, they're best smoked fresh. DE says they're ready to smoke.
Having had a few 2yr old T52's, they're smoother, some floral notes emerged, and still very enjoyable. The double corona's typically take me 2-2.5hrs to smoke so I cut 'em in half!

TTT

How long did you age for? Have a few boxes of of pigs was thinking of putting 2 years in them.

 

[Senor Perfecto]

Lol I just saw this thread that should be about 2-2.5 years on it, glad you enjoyed it

Very mucho.

Band was that color when I bought it. So hasn't yellowed.

 

[BradMc]

Yes very good smoke, I only wish I could save them to age, but no can do.....

 

[Whtwtrman79]

Yeah this one was buried at the bottom of a bin...... To difficult to get to so it aged by default

Bands yellow on those things within a couple of weeks

Lotta oils in the T52...

I've never smoked one of these, but I find myself looking at this thread regularly lol. That first photo, it's like seeing a great steak when you're hungry.

Lol really? I thought the band's came yellow compared to no9??? Noob assumption on my part?

Hahahah nah the extra oils the wackos at DE put on thier sticks seep out early. Esp on the T52. Not sure why.

Maybe that's what makes the T52 the best sub-Unico they make? Have yet to light up a FFP or Rat, but after the L40 I think it's my favorite DE yet.

They get more of a yellow tint, rather than a full on yellOw like cello gets.

And I'm in no way a DE fan, quite the opposite really, but in all fairness they don't 'add' any oils, that's just the nature of that particular capa.

Enjoyed my first T52 on Saturday, courtesy of Dave (Whtwtrman79). Nice yellowing band. Tasty tasty smoky smoky!

I've got some Liga 9's from when they first came out and the bands are starting to look like that.

IMO they add oil to the wrappers. Too dark, too much thick smoke to explain with just growing/curing/fermentation. Many of the smokes are delicious though!

^^^I'm pretty certain anything DE makes has "oils" added. I ditched all my Liga's after noticing the difference from OR's. Pigs for example aren't close to OR...
