Love me a PLPC, especially with a little age. Smoking from a '14 50 cab now. Great stick.

Although I did have a great argument w a college buddy from Gerritson. “Mike, Brooklyn is ON Long Island”. He didn’t believe me, I pulled out a map. He was embarrassed.

Not a bad smoke.

The Judge though is a fantastic smoke.

Nowadays I find it impossible to smoke any NC. In a former life however, I’d say LeBijou is a fantastic smoke.

But I’m sure if I lit one up now I wouldn’t be able to finish it.

I was unable to finish it. The first half was tolerable, after that it was all down hill.

I’ve had a few of the 2012 this year, the ELs generally don’t impress me.

For me, few things beat a Connie1 with a 18-24months on it.

Does it have any typical Upmann flavors? From what I heard many EL's don't minutely resemble their regular production cousins. I won't buy them at all, too much coin and I have no idea what they will taste like and if I will even like them.

I have no real opinion on it yet.

Cigars were a touch too wet as well.

Had a hard time staying lit.

If I don’t think ahead enough to dry box I throw a stick into the fridge for a while. Seems to help.

Second to last stick for this quarter of 2020. Got a CoRo drying out for the evening. HUPC for now.

Freshly opened tin w/a little plume starting to develop. Will let the other 2 tins age another year or two.

Mold loves to grow under cedar... make sure the ones you’re putting back are not too wet.
