The great Roger Maris of the New York Yankees wore the number 9 on his jersey during his professional baseball career.  Maris was a great baseball player that was not very popular with the fans until the end of his career.  Today's review the Liga Privada No. 9 is kind of similar to Roger Maris in some ways.  The No. 9 has always been a good cigar that just recently has made a surge from behind the shadows of the T52 by Liga Privada.  The No. 9 has recently become one hard cigar to get your hands on due to the demand.  The No. 9 is a Nicaraguan with a Connecticut broad leaf wrapper that was originally made for the liking of Drew Estate president Steve Saka.  The pre smoke aroma is strong with hints of sweet tobacco.  The construction of the No. 9 appears to be great as most of the Liga Privada line is.  Well lets toast this cigar and see why they have become a hard to find.  The first few draws hit me with an explosion of pepper, spices, and some sweet tobacco.  The sweet tobacco taste has continued but the strong hints of pepper have calmed down greatly from the initial explosion of the first few draws from the cigar.  The construction of the cigar at the halfway point has been flawless.  The cigar is burning evenly, which is always a positive when you don't have to do a touch up.  The ash is a solid white and the smoke output is thick and heavy.  The smoke output would immediately grab any ones attention in the room.  Hints of cocoa and a touch of chocolate has hit my palate to accompany the sweet tobacco taste of the cigar.  The cigar continues to burn strong with the added hits of cocoa, and hazel nut which gives it an impressive ending to your smoking experience.  I have decided to rate the Liga Privada No. 9 a 9.5 out of 10 on the 2 Cigar Guys And a Humidor scale.  I would definitely recommend that you get your hands on a few of these before its to late.
