PSD1 EL Coming Round nicely

[Well Armed]

What a surprise. And a good one at that. I had one of these - the first out of 2 boxes and the only one I had tried until yesterday - for a reason! The first one I had tasted like fresh ground pepper being rasped right down my t'roat. It sucked. Way too powerful and one dimensional and bitter. It was like eating burned garlic and chilli peppers mixed with some ground white and black pepper and some charred beef thrown in.

Fast forward 1.5 years.

What a difference. Much smoother now and coming around much nicer than I expected. Strong flavor that is full of heft and actually noticed some cmplexity showing up. I want to call it real maple syrup with peppered bacon right off the skittle hotter than **** and all wrapped up in a greasy burrito you just dropped on the ground outside while you are camping in a little tent like a kid.

Out of the 2 boxes I have, one box was darker than death and greasier than a fat chicks thighs. The other was rougher than 180-grit and twice as ugly. That is the box I tried #1 out of. And when I opened it up for #2 the cigars had developed a nice oily sheen and are beginning to look like the other box of sexy temptresses.

In another year I shall give box #1 a go. Patience, my fellow cigar sluts, is the key to successful aging. I think these could go long like the PSD3 2001. I am not familiar with the PSD2 though.

Now that's graphic! I know I'm exposing myself to ridicule, but I think that the PSD1 will eventually prove itself to be the best Party EL of all. It's just loaded with character, and is probably the most complex cigar I have ever smoked. Incredible power and depth. It may take a decade or more to really show it's potential. I'm leaving them alone until my next reincarnation.

Pure visual poetry

They are coming around perfectly ;-)
