PLPC--EML OCT14--PL and SC Review Comp. 2016

I want to make this review a little different.  My opinions on the cigar overall.

PLPC is my favorite go to cigar right now. I have some aged and some younger.  This one is still on the younger side.  The best description I can give is this one is a woody, sweet, dense, gravelly, nutty, slightly peppery, toasted tobacco delicious smoke. Not a huge amount of transition but it's so damn good I wouldn't want it to.

The aged ones (5 years plus) I have had recently are a WOW revelation of creamy, salty, slightly sour caramel, with a smooth toasted tobacco spine.  

As some of you may have read before I smoked cigars for about 8 years before taking a 4 year hiatus and selling off my stock.  Dove back into it about 3 years ago.  The PLPC is a cigar I never had prior experience with.  But it's been a real revelation.  To me these are just about perfect.  If you haven't bought a Cab get it done ASAP.  Just a fantastic cigar, and an incredible value!  I am sure like me you will find yourself reaching for them more than anything else.

Never had one of these. I have 2 in my humidor for about 2 weeks now that i received from the robs rotation sampler. I'm dying to light one up and try one. I'm guessing that they would be young though.

Well done! I agree, the PLPC seems to be a safe bet, although IMO they do need quite a bit of age (like 5+ years) to really shine.
