El Presidente Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I have been through 30% of a Por Larranaga Petit Corona cab over the last few weeks. My God...8 cigars have been pure sugarcane...I love that sweet hit in a cigar. Others have been good...yet these specimens have been brilliant. From the first third they explode in that intense sweetness. How I would love to sit down with the blender to work out how he does it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the first third they explode in that intense sweetness. How I would love to sit down with the blender to work out how he does it How long have you left this cab rest? I have gotten this sweetness mixed with the "mongrel" you've spoken of, but not sure about sugarcane. (I have yet to chew on a stalk of cane tho) Many cabs of these kicking around or are they consistent enough to buy blind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 I would be happy to recommend buying blind Most months. Just hit that spot recently and have taken note of wrapper/aroma at cold to try and Identify another cab with the same trait for myself. not easy...keep in mind 8 of 19 met the profile.

tmc123 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Just odered one, would be interested to see you and smithy review this small stick rob, love the rough beauty of a fresh PLPC so trying to age this cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I love that profile, I seem to get it in Boli PC more than most, when it comes it's just a delight I have been getting that from the PL Robusto RE lately as well x2 I had one yesterday and it was there in spades, that final third is really starting to open up now too, that brooding darkness is starting to get more refined and smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrims Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Have a cab of PLPC's that have been shared with Tino amongst others, dense and defo sugar cane, rough looking "rustic" stocks but man do they smoke and taste great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSARTech Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Ditto, Rob. I've been getting that in your HQ picks in PLPC from 2010 onwards. Great stuff. To me, the sugarcane element evolves throughout the cigar into almost a demarra sugar / carmelized cane sugar. Not quite the complete overpowering sweetness and slightly-fake-taste of caramel, but definitely carmelized cane sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsoftz Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I've had two recently and was definitely more "mongrel" than sugarcane.. Both had extremely tight draws too so I wasn't paying as much attention. Maybe I need to order a handful more of singles of this and make a decision. 50 cab is just too much commitment unless I know I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurpriseMVP Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Got pure sugarcane out of a 08 mag 46 from a friends cab. My 08's don't have the sugar, but still fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
