Plpc TOS FEB 17 (smrw 3/4)

[unclepauly25]

I finally purchased a cabinet of these a couple months ago, I smoked one Rott, and it was way too wet all the flavors were muted, that’s my own fault because I’m impatient when I get a new box of cigars ? Now that they have rested for 2 months it’s the cigar I have come to love. I dry boxed for 2 days, I think four days would be better because the last 3rd got a lil bitter and died out. The draw and construction were spot on, the cold draw was toasty tobacco and a little bit of spice.

The middle 3rd. Has a little twang, earth, and a sweet vanilla latte flavor, not the Caramel  yet but I can see with a couple years, that caramel should be pretty dominant, 

The final third was the same only got a little bitter. I’d rate this a 91 at this time but I can see the potential in these to get a 96 in a couple years .

Great review thanks

Nice, thanks for the review. I have a box of these, very same code, PSP grade. They look great but the one I tried after 30 days was no fun at all! I'm not at all worried, the box goes away until 2022...

I think I got the same box code/year on a 24/24 but PSP. I haven't touched them yet, but I opened the cab the other day and they were gorgeous. Thanks for your review. May crack one in a few months!

I got these on clearance, I always pick the one that’s not the prettiest to try one out, the rest of the box is very nice looking, it was a steal at clearance price especially with three years of age on them!

It's between Monte #4 and these for my goto short smokes.   I will say that the ones I purchase from the 24:24 were absolutely amazing they are from 2017 also.  Tons and tons of burnt surgar.

I have PLPC (TOS MAR 17) and funny, did the same thing as you.  Couldn't wait and smoked the first one after only 30 days in the Humidor from shipping.  The first third was actually pretty good and the rest was too hard to keep lit and not worth finishing.  Amazing how impatience  pushed me to do exactly what all the Pro's on FOH tell us not to do .... I'd like to say I learned my lesson but, last night, I had a Monte PE (LMB JAN-18), I tried dry-boxing for two weeks and smoked it way too early as well.  I rationalize to myself that I need to try one every year and "see how they are progressing" but, the reality is I need to ignore them for a few more years -- so hard to be patient !
