mbrody Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I'm guilty. Reading Bart's review after review after review...so here goes. (excuse the picture quality) This 08 PLPC was gifted from a FOH BOTL. I intend to compare this 08 to my 07's . This 08' I believe was considered PSP or at the least HQ. Construction is Flawless. The 08 is a shade or two darker than my 07's. Aroma at cold is sweet tobacco. Draw is perfection and tastes of medium, rich tobacco. Medium + opening with a blast of sweet leather. This gives way to caramel underpinnings and baker's spice. The first third develops into a medium bodied smoke with a gingerbread spice on the finish. The sweet snippets of caramel are leaving. During the second third, flavors of sweet caramel are gone and enters a more burnt sugar with cake. Toward tha back third, this now becomes more of a poundcake flavor. Body is still medium and there is still baking spice on the finish (albeit less than the first third). Burnt Sugar returns for the final third along with a little caramel and some light cedar. The body picks up a bit, but not overly so. She goes to rest elegantly... Overall: 88 Future Potential: 92 I see a real melding of flavors developing with this smoke in 3 years time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksblazer Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Nice review on the PLPC. I have some late 08's and they are a little rough around the edges. So they will be buried in the cooler for a few months before I try another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daboose Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Really enjoying the PLPC ... bought a few singles from CCzar ... haven't been disappointed. Still chilly on the deck; I paired it with B&B and dipped the head. Boo-Yah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
