Tonight I decided to cut out of work a little early and enjoy the evening with a PLPC. I've been really enjoying these lately. It is a shorter smoke, only 30 to 45 minutes. This one did well in my initial inspection. Firm, with a little give when squeezed. Nice bunching at the foot and the head. The pre-light draw was a little tight but nothing that would present a problem. It gave a light tobacco flavor.
I roasted the foot to get an even burn going and take my first few puffs. A straight forward tobacco greeted me. This lasted for about the first third. Around the second third some burn issues started. It got about 3/4 of an inch off before I corrected it with my lighter.
The second third notes of honey were present along with a mild spice. Once the burn was corrected it stayed straight for the rest of the cigar. The finish of the cigar was lasting and smooth. A medium body to the finish. Definitely a good smoke for the price.
As a side note, near the end of the cigar, a hot air balloon appeared over a neighboring building. Pretty neat.

In Walla Walla, WA, where my mom lives they have a huge hot air ballon event every year, it really is an amazing thing to watch.
