You'll get no disagreement from me.  I love the PL Montecarlos as well as PLPC.  The panetelas are also fine smokes for the money.

Look at us, just a bunch of pathetic Por whores! 

I love my Picadores....need to go deep on those.

 

[TheLiquidGator]

I love them, but never smoke them without a condom.

[Cep]

I bought 3 cabs before i ever tried one

Actually i can say that about a few different marcas lol.  ( i dont recommend his btw)

Cuaba here.

[Texwrangler]

I like to think I'm above being the whore.   So I'll admit it...I'm a PL pimp, LOL

[cigaraholic]

Welcome to the club ❤️

Been dying to get ahold of some of the REs from this line as it's been a really good friend of mine since 2007. Lol.

Montecarlos are a really good box when you can find them.

Encantos, Robusto, PLPC, PLMC, Picadores. What's not to love?

[JohnS]

I'd love to hear from anyone that has the opposite view, that is, they've tried and tried, but they can't get into Por Larranaga at all. We've had a few of us take such aversion to marcas such as Bolivar or Cohiba, but I'm yet to hear anyone say that they just don't like Por Larranaga.

Me? I love them...preferably aged!

[Hurltim]

Love, love, love PL's! I had my first Encantos a few weeks ago. Absolute show stopper! 

PL's have such a unique flavor profile and age a dream. I have a 7 yo box of PLPC's that still pack a punch yet they are soo good I can't stop smoking them. I'd say out of all of the aged boxes I have bought, that PLPC has brought me the most enjoyment. I wish I could get my hands on a few more older PLPC cabs.

I won't be confirming anything "negative" yet but I have a 50 cab of PCs and after sampling 10 sticks I haven't had a single one that I've liked. They have been harsh, even after storing them to my preferred conditions. 

I have decided to store them for a while and try them with age. I'm guessing my cab is about three years old now and I haven't had one for about 18 months. 

I might try one soon and I'll let you know.

Young PLPC can pack a punch. Around the 5 year mark, they turn into pure caramel sticks.

Will have to remember to bring some aged PLs next time we catch up.

I no longer purchase the PLPC 50 cab. The last one I got (my 4th) was terrible. The cigars were very harsh for years and when this harshness was finally gone they started to lose strenght and intensity in a spectacular way…

From now I split cabs with friends, to reduce the risk. The production of this cigar is too inconsistent IMHO.

For how long did you store them before sampling?

[awkwardPause]

Took about 6 months for my 2016 cab to even out where I could actually enjoy them. Keep them relatively dry and they'll smoke much better IMO.

That is not good news!! I suspect that mine will be the same as yours. They haven't shown me hints of improvement yet. I'll definitely try one soon as it's been a while since I last sampled one.

Nowadays I don't smoke anything Ive purchased for at least 6 months to a year.

With this particular cab, I smoked at 3 months and every 3 months up until 18 months, then I stopped.
