I've told this story elsewhere, but for me, it was both the LP #9 and a Padron 1926...both are legendary smokes. I smoked them within a few days of each other after much anticipation...and they were good sticks, but were they better than some costing a third the price? Absolutely not. I read about folks dissing the Gurkhas because of their over-inflated MSRP's...for me, these two ceegars fit into that same category!

Now, mind you, that's just me...looks like I'm not the only one!
