Por Larranaga Picadores Unknown 2021 (FRCSW5)

[riderpride]

PL Pica - my first.
Purchased as a single, so unknown code. Likely 2021 production.
Appearance: Pale dry wrapper.  Very firm head. Strong smell of barnyard. Label looks lame for PL, more like a circus flyer and cartoonish.

Pairing- rum punch
Pre Light draw very sweet. Hint of caramel?
1/3 - Initial puff is nutty with something sweet. Beer nuts (?)with a light citrus rind.
2/3 - in comes the caramel and creme, but nowhere near the plpc.
3/3 - continues with citrus, grass, and a hint of nuts.
Final - flavours are odd for a PL but quite pleasant. Lighter flavour and body, but perfect for an early day smoke.
The biggest knocks are youth and typical LCDH over-humudification. 88 pts

Cheers!
