You just have to make sure you put them at the bottom of the coolidor/humidor under a lot of other boxes so you forget about them ;-) Atleast that helps me!

Can't get enough of'm! » » Agreed Cliff Down to only one (1) stick of this now:-( Time to re-up;-) and to try and do a better job of allowoing them to get some age. Maybe we start a PSP2 3step support group: STEP1 - BUY A BOX:-D STEP2 - PUT THEM UP:no: STEP3 - LEAVE THEM ALONE:angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 » That is the problem.... good smokes make it difficult to hoard them for » the long term..... but they are definately great for aging... What's the problem? Since these are smoking well now, I won't later regret having smoked them now. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 » I don't actually have the code, but I'm assuming '05 » » Construction: Excellent - nice and solid. » » Wrapper: Medium to dark brown. Smooth, but finely toothed. Nice sheen. » » Draw: Just about perfect. » » Taste: Lightly spiced, with dark chocolate, and a menthol - like quality. » Woody, with a » short, dry finish. About halfway in, it became more earthy and » musky. » These qualities became more pronounced as the smoke progressed. » In the » last third. it picked up some slight floral notes. » If I had tasted this blind, I would have never pegged this as » Cuban. In fact, it » reminded me quite a bit, down to the perfumed pre light aroma, » of a Honduran » cigar I smoke regularly. I enjoyed it. I'm really intersested to » see how these » progress. For now I give it 88 points. True, some of mine have been on the lighter side as well. Did you get a wicked nicotine rush? Young cigar but damned tasty INMO? Was it a box of 10 or 25?:-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only aquired some singles, and I'm leaving the the rest of them alone for a while. I didn't get the nic rush, but I try to smoke fairly deliberately to avoid this.

argon345 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 IMHO the darker wrappers are a much nicer smoke than the lighter....at least at this point in time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smk819 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Smoked one last night, it seems each one I smoke is better than the one before. What a great cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idesign Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I smoked another from my box this past weekend while playing golf outside of Chicago. Smoked like a dream, I love these so far. And it gave me enough of a buzz that I blamed it for my erratic drives off the tee. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Sept 05. Smoked this at the Burmeister lodge overlooking the Douro. If spectacular locations contribute, then this starts at 100! Amazing cone on this - for starters, it wasn’t cone-shaped but stuck out like three or four matches in the centre and stayed that way. Of all the P2's I’ve tried (not many, to be fair), this was by far the youngest, tightest and greenest. Really impressive but way too young for me at this stage. Has all the ingredients for something terrific. Still a little unforthcoming but lots of spice and rich flavours. As these settle, expect some stunning smokes. 92. Lot of pepper and spice and also dark chocolate. Also a hint of citrus. When I checked my earlier notes on my return, I had noted that they had huge improvement ahead tho I did think more highly of them then. That said, I like these a lot. No real probs with the draw. I won’t be touching the rest of mine for a bit as I think they do need some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I see a couple of different threads on these on the forum (Rob, can’t our computer whizz explain to you how to put them all together?). they are pretty much universally loved and, despite the above comments about laying off for a while, I opened a box I got (the above reviews not from this box) from Feb 2005 and while I loved the thing, I just thought the whole thing that it was way too soon. These are a smoke that I am convinced need at least another year or two. Everything there for a good result, and it really was better than a lot of stuff I’ve smoked lately. Some fruit mince pie characters, dark chocolate, caramel, spice and more. 91 but I really am going to put these in deep, deep storage for a while. I just think smoking them now is wasting them.

Ditto - picked some after my first sampling (hard to get at the time as so new) Smoked one and buried in the humi. Patience is a virtue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
