Last night I smoked one of my PS Ghost. When I got them in, I left one in cello and I took the other out. Sunday, I took the non cello cigar and dry boxed it for 2 days. Last night when I got it to smoke, it had a really nice firmness, slight crack sounds as I pressed on the wrapper and most of the oily texture I felt when I removed it from the cello was gone.
Skipping all the middle notes, the ghost maduro vs the angel was fantastic! Very similar in flavor profile, I felt this one actually had a little less heat or spice, but I was able to pickup on allot more flavors in this size vs the robusto.
1st third had allot of black pepper, some coffee, cedar and slight sweetness
2nd calmed down, still had pepper in the back, was able to retro hale allot at this point, got creamy flavors, coffee, Carmel, cedar, and something unique that I couldn't identify.
3rd spiked back up, more pepper, leather, cedar, nut, and the smoke actually got thicker and chewy almost.
Burn and draw was fantastic! Ash held on for the first half until I ended up dropping it in my lap.
Never had to touch it up, pretty much burnt razor sharp! I paired it with water and had a very pleasant aftertaste.
Very very nice cigar, and like my last statement, I really feel that if one was able to take these sticks and let them rest for 1-2 years, they would be fantastic! This is an intimidating looking cigar because you expect it to kick your azz in body and strength when it's really a med body, full flavor cigar. Just my 2 cents
The cross and vampire will be the next two I search after!
Once again, a fantastic smoke. Many thanks Paul!
