lovethehaze Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 I have had these about a year now and they are right at 2 and a 1/2 years. I will say this is maybe the first that has smoked well. The others have been very very wet so this is a good sign but def still Not where they need to be. Mostly wood, some sweet wood, toasted Pretty clean tobacco and earth, but def no Carmel yet ... only time will tell it’s suggested they need 5 years so I will say I’ll wait another year before I smoke one and re visit then... not a bad cigar just not great I would rate it at about 80-83 out of 100. stay safe 4
SmokyFontaine Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 I'm on some March 2017's that I got about 7 months ago and they're smoking really well. There is kind of a chalk-like flavor that especially on the retrohale hints at caramel. It might be my favorite Petit Corona I've tried. Hopefully yours are getting closer to their peak. I tend to drybox mine for anywhere from 3-7 days, and other than the first, which I know I tried to smoke too early, they've all burned great. Bummer that yours are taking awhile to get there :/ 1
Bmbroads Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Had my first a few days ago. Young stick, not the burst of caramel that is suppose to be the hallmark yet but it a consistent notes of sweetness just wanting to burst through. No doubt that after the (proper) time it will shine and show the plpc qualities everyone fishes over. I hope I can make it that long and a least have a stick left when that time comes because they are still a very enjoyable, consistent cc that had depth despite its age 1
bbguardsp Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Probably should have reached for the "fat" one in the box like @Ken Gargett 1
