So I have been hearing a lot of murmurings about these on this forum of late. Consequently, I was expecting good things of the PLP and, I have to admit, it did not disappoint. The wrapper was not the most esthetically pleasing thing I have seen in the whole world, for sure. On the nose, pre-light, there was a very even smell of honey throughout. On lighting up, I got a similar theme through the draw: lots of cream and lots of honey, dried apricots, oats and a touch of cinnamon. The construction was not as good as it could have been, it was a bit tight, unfortunately, but not so bad as to become irksome. The flavour profile remained constant throughout; in the last 1/3 it turned more 'buttery and toasty.' Not overly complex, but far from uni-dimensional. It was a medium strength smoke - however, it was a little more forceful that I expected. I had a siglo I the other week that was not dissimilar on the palate. The main difference was the Cohiba was $25 dollars a stick, and this was $8.75. For the price, this vitola simply cannot be beaten. Very impressed. Going to buy a box, tout-de-suite. Solid 89 / 100
