Today's Smoke 2025

‘09 PL Montecarlos 6 1/4 X 33 - jonesing for a PLPC but found a couple of these digging through my singles and never having smoked one I thought what the hell. Cold draw was a bit tight and almost didn’t spark it up. Oops, trust your instinct. Should have dry boxed it for a spell. Smoke volume was a tad weak with the tight draw. But hey, some black cherry & apricot comes through. Cream delights on smooth retro. Not getting any of it’s aged cousin’s trademark caramel/honey notes. Second third sweet toffee on the tongue with that smashing PL profile finally coming through. Such a refined elegant smoke! Would have liked more smoke volume but that’s my bad likely for not dry boxing. Final third caramel forward now. Most delicious retro too. Even the passive smoke aroma is caramel. Wild. Final third opening up now with nice draw and more smoke. Mouthfeel is sensational. TLC & patience is a must here. If you’re a fast smoker you won’t get the same experience. An occasional gentle purge is also recommended. Only PL better for me was a gifted ‘98 PC cab version which was a real mind blower. One hour, never bitter, no bite, no touch ups. I’m gonna have to get a couple boxes of these.
Yum, Yum, get you some!

Monster Smash Jekyll - least favorite so far, by far.

ETA: Ah, here's a problem:

Hard to tell in the pics with no depth perception, but I feel like that tunnel runs all the way back to the band. When I look down it, it's so deep I'm almost surprised I can't see light coming in the other end.

ETA 2: Fuck it, I'm done fighting this thing.

I have stopped smoking most Tatuaje bc of this issue. It seems like the quality has gone down hill. At least 1 out of 5 have a tunnel, tight draw, or some kind of other poor construction.
