bolivr Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nice post, thank you. I too bought a box of PL, the panatelas sight unseen based on the recommendations here and from MRN. Same deal; never disappointed and glad I made the plunge to break the Punch, Bolivar, Partagas pattern I was stuck in. Vive la difference.

aavkk Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thanks for sharing your story of this cigar. I had the same experience with the BBF, still have a few left that for sentimental reasons wont be smoked anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrink Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I still have 5 sitting in the bottom of my humi not to be touched for a few years. Yeah? And I've got 5 potato chips sitting in the bottom of a bag on my lap. Not to be touched for a few years, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Damn shame there are only 5 remaining :-D nice comment. i assume that you'd be able to do something about that. i may be close to death from the flu and completely unable to tell krug from crap at the moment but even i can smell that rat! but i do love the plpc and you would be wise to stock up and put a good % out of reach. you will not regret it.

I think with the current sale, It is high time I bury those 5 a little deeper with something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set a cab aside for 5 years and they become something special. Easier said than done so buy two more cabs now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJack Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I love these too, but I fear my palate is changing to make these too mild for me. Is it just me or does the glitter rub off the PL bands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizedean Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 This is not a conventional review per say. It is my first post on any review forum as I recognize that my taste buds are not as refined as many who post and thus I am a little intimidated. But I felt a special need to write of my story with this cigar. I still feel like a newbie as I have only been smoking CC's for about 2 years. I realize the more I know the less I really know. About a year ago after I had been buying samplers for a while, I got the itch to open my own intact box. The need became too great, so I decided it was time to pull the trigger. I decided to go with a PC because of it's size (as I purchased this Cab about a year ago and I only smoke outside a smaller vitola was in order for the winter months). I chose the PLPC strictly form anecdotal info gleaned from this and another forum. I had never smoked one before I took the plunge. From the day they arrived I was never disappointed. This little fella became my go to cigar for months. Everyone I smoked was consistent and they never let me down. Each was a medium body, full of flavor cigar with enough spice to keep my attention and full of great fresh tobacco flavor that left me yearning for more. I probably smoked 30 of these babies myself, giving about 10 of them out to whatever friends would indulge me. I still have 5 sitting in the bottom of my humi not to be touched for a few years. This cigar sent me down that slope of wanting to taste as many different vitola/macra as my pocketbook will allow. I may not have as a refined palette as many who post here but I know what I like and this little cigar will always be on that list. I have since sampled many other PC's and will admit some may have stolen my attention. But for my beginner's primer and my education to the wonders of a great smoke I will always be "In Praise of the PLPC". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
