RG Perlas ASR Mar 20 (R&RRW)

[SpecialK]

Revisiting this one from my January Review : 

To Start out all I can say is what a difference 9 months make !

I gave this an 85/100 back in January and I was being generous...

Rough week and decided to try this again with a drink before it gets too cold... 

The Drink : Cheap Cherry Whisky with diet Coke = Cherry Coke or a Dr Pepper derivative..

I will do these in halves as it's a petite Corona

1st Half: No messing around from the first puff the toasted tobacco and cocoa were there. I was pleasantly suprised.. it stood up to my poorly mixed strong drink. 

I also was getting cinnamon and leather... but more than mentioned in my previous review

2nd Half:

This is where it got good... I was getting some spice and fruit (prune??) along with the flavors mentioned in the second half. The spice and fruit didn't stay as long as I wanted but enjoyed them while they lasted.. at the very end it was mostly where it started cocoa and toasted  tobacco.

Burn: even burn and construction was excellent... I suspect this also had a lot to do with my getting humidification on point.

Overall Score: 90/100   a much better cigar than before.. and it wasn't bad then

Good review. The Perlas have been consistent for me since original release. If they do seem a tad off for my palate then a few months addtl rest is usually all that is needed.
