PL PC AME MAR13: PL&SC Review comp 2016

[Joker]

We've had unusually cold / wet weather for this time of year, but today the sun is shining so time to sit outside & enjoy a smoke & beer

Dark wrapper, firm construction 
Good draw, with slight resistance
Off the bat, strong sweet spice that lingers on the palette, a little stronger than I'm use to
Good volume of smoke
2/3 Spice has mellowed, and flavour has turned into a salty caramel. 
Reminds me of salted caramel ice cream- one of my favourites

Slight uneven burn, which I'll attribute to lighting up outside in windy conditions 
Touch up and burn is all good
White dots forming on the ash, which I believe is due to mineral composition in the leaf
Amazed at the volume of smoke from this stick
3/3 Flavours have melded beautifully, smooth smoke overall, right to the end
Goes well with the Monteith Black Beer, with its dark choc / caramel flavours
Very enjoyable 50min smoke 
As per my previous cabs, these will only get better with age
Rate it a 92 ?

Nice review Tony... might just fire one up myself

Yes Tony, a nice review. I like my Por Larranagas with a little oxidization on the bands, like on yours. I can't help but feel they they've begun to settle when they are like this.

Nicely done!
