I received two of the T-52s from my son-in-law for Father’s Day. They came from the Tinder Box, Lakeland, Fl. They were quite good, I thought: well constructed, a nice burn and smoothly flavorful. Good enough that I’ve looked on-line to see what I can find out about them.
I have not run across any in my home area (Greater Cleveland, Ohio), so I am looking for an opportunity to pick up some more.
Thanks for your coverage,

I’d kill to get my hands on a T-52. Anyone know where to find them? I don’t want to order a box with the price tag thats on them. Great review!

Israel at Uptown Cigars in Kingston NY gave me a T52 last week and told me that it is Drew’s new flagship cigar. I am smoking it as I read your review. Every aspect of your review is spot on target.
I was skeptical before lighting this Robusto. That’s why I waited a week. I’ve never wanted to smoke an Acid but have enjoyed other Drew Estate cigars years ago when I smoked non-Cs. I used to buy boxes of Brooklyns from Uptown until the blend changed and turned into way too mild of a cigar.
The T52 looked surprisingly inviting. The wrapper is everything you said. Beyond that, the construction of the cigar is first rate. Solid in my hand, the head is toothy and supple. The draw is darn near perfect. It started out stronger than tastier but the cocoa came through in spades very quickly. The pepper is present but not overpowering. That sweet aroma, so very Drew, is all through my study now.
I can see why Israel said flagship. The investment in this line is very obvious. It’s a serious non-C smoke.

I’m not a big fan of infused cigars but I do like the Def Sea. Excellent cigar. I also enjoy t he La Vieja Habanas in the larger ring size and I am looking forward to buying a few Liga Privada’s.

I’ve recently smoked several of the No.9s and T52s and found them to be delicious and satisfying. The fact that Steve Saka smokes very little else speaks volumes to thier quality. I also enjoy the Chateau Reals and La Vieja Habanas, as well as the occasional Tabak Especial. Drew Estate is makeing exceptional traditional blends, as well has having the best selling cigar (Kuba Kuba) in their stable.

I was amazed with the Liga Privada No.9, very well constructed cigar, good looking, a lot of flavor, and specially a LOT of smoke!!

I’m looking forward to trying this one with great expectation…

The Liga Privada #9 is one of my staple smokes, and I was blown away by the T52. Definitely a much stronger blend than the original. While I don’t usually enjoy flavored or infused cigars, I definitely enjoy the Tabac Especial Negra line…perfect balance between the tobacco and coffee flavor. I recommend giving them a try.

No flames here man. You might get flamed on a forum, but not here. Everybody has their own tastes. If you enjoy an Acid once and a while, then good for you. Everyone should smoke what they enjoy. My motto is “The best cigar is your favorite cigar”.

I was really impressed by the T52 and will try the no.9 soon. Like I said, I’ve never been a fan of DE cigars. Even his non-infused one, but the Liga Privada seems to be in a different class from their previous offerings.
