To tell you the truth the only liga's I have enjoyed are the OR #9's. That said I haven't stopped buying them just plan on waiting on them and hopefully they will all age as well as the OR 9's did.

Pretty much sums up what most of us do I believe, at least me. If the cigar isn't good within the 1st inch it's getting tossed aside and I will pull one that I know is going to smoke good. I am not going to smoke a cigar for 30 minutes to get to the good part!
Wow... what a response!
Look I have my own opinions as to why LP has failed to received what I believe to be an appropriate score (92-95) and it has nothing to do with advertising. And there is no benefit in sharing them.
I also don't agree with the 1st inch only practice knowing that many cigars require time to develop and blossom.
However, their scores are their scores and nothing I or anyone says will change them. Lucky for us Drew Estate's success has never depended on any magazine or any ratings - people smoke our cigars and decide for themselves.
Also I don't take issue with someone not liking the Dirty Rat. It isn't for everyone, none of the cigars we make are - Kuba Kuba guys love 'em, but those that don't, don't. It is the way it is. I always tell people that "if you make a cigar everyone will like, you are ultimately making a cigar no one will love..."
My only nitpick with their Dirty Rat review was that they rated it as "Medium" in body. That baffles the hell out of me!

I'll take whatever you have left. Probably the first or second ranked cigar of the last year for me. I can't get enough of them.
