PLPC - LGR SEP 19 (S46RW)

[ChangBang]

Last entry into the S46RW for the week and I capped it off with PLPC LGR SEP 19 (thanks for the info Prez!).  

Not a very pretty cigar with the head being pretty messy.  Used a punch and finally had a cigar with a good draw - took it out about 12hrs with an ambient humidity of high 30s% before I smoked it.  I'll have to experiment to see if this is the reason it had a good draw.  I did not have to use my draw tool in the past for this cigar though.

Cigar started off pretty nice, was getting a nice floral note with a touch of pepper.  Some leather and earthiness came into the mix 1/3 of the way down.  Not sure why but about half way, it all eased into a tobacco flavor that was light and I couldn't really detect any additional flavor.  Towards the end got a bit harsh with some leathery notes appearing till I finished.  Burn line was good all the way through not needing any correction.  

 

All in all I thought it was a good cigar and has potential to be better.  Didn't detect the caramel that I've read comes out after 7 or so years.  Still have 11 2019s left but I wish I could smoke a properly aged one before deciding on whether or not to buy a cab and age it myself.  I give it a 3.3/5 - my rating system is terrible and I'll have to open it up next time lol
