Their wrappers are extremely consistent and flawless. Smooth as they come. Well rolled. Lots of tobacco inside! Beautiful color and smell. And, they are certainly moderately oily, compared to my other PLPC, which have rougher, but still quality, wrappers and which are relatively dry feeling, despite being at an appropriate RH.
Anyhow, I smoked one. perfect burn, but the draw was too tight, even with a full clip of the head. This was due to over humidification of the cigar.
A good deal of the tanic/bitterness up front, but less as I smoked it down to the band. Typically nice honey sweetness and a hint of saltiness were noticeably in the background, covered too much by the bitterness, much of which i attribute to over-humidification. They have tremendous potential, which could just require 30-90 days of acclimation and RH reduction, and/or 2-3 more years of ageing.
I have some others with the same box and date codes. I pulled a couple out and placed them out on my humi top tray a few weeks ago. They have dried out a bit rather nicely. I am hoping this and their exposure to fresher air will make them smokable even sooner. I will let you know tomorrow or Sunday..
