It was one of those days. Long, spreadsheets flows. Finalising proposals. Phonecalls and e-mails everywhere. I didn't even make it to the deck :thumbsdwn:

It was 8pm when I sent the last correspondence and I really should have gone home. Tommy would have been asleep by the time I arrived, Ben was out with mates, Becky studying (I live in hope). I headed instead to he walk in humidor and picked out a PLPC from the open box. Went upstairs to the deck here, poured a Scotch and Soda, stood looking at the city lights and lit the PLPC.

From the opeining draw it was pure honey. I know that those who smoke PLPC have on the rare ocassions hit this profile. Simply brilliance...the cigar version of sucking on fresh honeycomb.

The result is euphoric. Complete peace and satisfaction.

One of the best cigars I have had in a long time and a straight 97.

.....and no...not every PLPC delivers like this

awesome Rob, just curious if these were 04's or 07's.

Code is MLO JUN 11. The cab has been very good (I have smoked a few) but this was out of this world.

Will do some pics of the walk in when we have our upcoming Cigar Underground Network Party :ph34r:

certainly none of the ones you've sold me.

You always make me smile, Ken. :)

Beautiful to hear, Rob. I picked up an HQ 50-cab from you last fall of these, with a May 2011 "MLO" code. I've only enjoyed two so far, and while they definitely showed promise, I didn't think they were anywhere NEAR there yet. My best guess was at least 2 to 3 years sitting time needed to bring out everything. That said, after your review here, I'll definitely sample again this spring, with hopeful wishes.

Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

I have a CAB of MLO May 11...smoked 4 so far (At least I think) they show promise. On each and everyone the opening had a very slight hit of honey. Hopefully I am in for a surprise once these come of age :thumbsup: But as I read this post I just wanna reach in my humi and grab one lol.

This cigar continues to befuddle me. I read so many excellent reviews (a great one by the way Rob) and it has all the flavours that would suit my palate. I buy them and they have always disspointed so far. Granted I have never been able to give them the five years everyone says they need so perhaps the error is mine. Nonetheless, thanks for sharing Rob, guess I need to work on my patience.

Unheard of. I have a 2006 cab sleeping, and they're still not quite ripe yet. This must be a byproduct of some form of intoxication.

First drink of the day at the time :spotlight:

Just a rogue shining the light I hope on the future of the cab. Certainly, the others have been good to very good but nothing approaching that.

heh Rob, I think almost everyone with knowledge of PLPCs buys them to find that taste you just described circa the pre 00 - 02 cracker cabs. Alas, they have all been letdowns imo.

Thanks for the heads up dear leader, it seems it's time to re-investigate. :hungry:

I can assure you it has nothing to do with your first name. Haha!! ;)

Hahaha...no, obviously not. It's more to do with excessive consumption of beer than anything. I don't know why they insist on putting the hole on the wrong side of the can...
