Por Larranaga Petite Corona Dry 

Started with some cookie with a hint of caramel. Not yet the caramel sticks yet since it’s so young. But getting burnt sugar and some lemongrass flavor as well. Get a little pepper toward the second half of 2/3. The pepper compliments the other flavors not overpowering like many NC’s. Look forward to these in years to come. 

Por Larranaga Petite Corona Wet

ran it under the faucet with regular tap water. Started off bitter and metallic. I’m guessing it’s the tap water or maybe in my head. It was difficult getting solid draws in the beginning. It started tunneling. And the burn was super wonky. Thinking it might’ve been the water. After feeling the cigar a bit it seems loose in the middle and tight toward the last third. Now  I’m thinking that’s the real reason. Overall I got mostly the same flavors. The burnt sugar, the cookie and light caramel sweetness. The flavors seemed muted a bit and the flavors kind rolled into one rather than each popping out. The pepper started off a little earlier than the dry one. 
 

thoughts.
 

I think I would like to try this one again with two new PLPC’s. This time checking for two good specimens to compare. I feel like the construction issue hurt the second one. the flavors on the new one were slightly smoother albeit except for that bitterness and metallic flavor in the beginning of the wet one. Might have to try with bottled water next time. My hunch is the water would help smooth out a young PLPC and that a PLPC is the ideal cigar for this.
