RijkdeGooier Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Por Larranaga Petit Corona, Cab 50 from 2012 Checking up on the development of this Cab50, to see if they are already coming up to smoke. The Ashes. Size: Mareva (Petit Corona) Smoking time: 0:45 Location: outside on my patio, no wind Construction and burn were good. Slightly uneven burn. Mild to medium strength cigar. Taste is some chocolate, with honey, sweet notes on the retrohale. Very little harsh tones, the taste is slowly increasing in strength throughout the sigar. From my point of view, the taste is fairly similar to the Hoyo linea classica, more specifically Des Dieux, although slightly lighter in my opinion. A little development throughout the cigar becoming slightly less mild towards the end. Verdict: 7.5/10 A good small Cuban cigar with beautiful delicate taste, which I believe will get better with age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallclub Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 From my point of view, the taste is fairly similar to the Hoyo linea classica, although slightly lighter in my opinion. This is very surprising. What is the "Hoyo linea classica"? Apart the Epicure line (to which we can add the petit robusto) and the "Hoyo du x" line, what's left? The DC, the Palmas Extra and the Coronation A/T… And in my experience none of them offers the slightest resemblance with the rusticity of a young PLPC… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Classica is the older Hoyo line - so the Hoyo du X... For me the PLPC resembles a lighter version of a Des Dieux in taste of the sweet notes only - the rustic element (similar to RyJ Cazadores - that's what I would call rustic) was not present in this PLPC.

Smallclub Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 For me the PLPC resembles a lighter version of a Des Dieux in taste of the sweet notes only I see. I guess you're talking about the "high" notes, fruity, citrusy, etc. The young Hoyo des Dieux is the only one in the line to offer these notes; the others are more "woody" (to my taste). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Des Dieux is by far my favorite from that line, precisely because of the palet.You seem very meticulous in your observations. I will try to be as specific as I can be, but for me the hobby is still that, a hobby. I enjoy your detailed comments but sometimes I ask myself, is it really important to be so precise?
