DBall's Newb Blind Taste Test #5

[DBall]

What they smoked:



2011 Por Larranaga Panetela

ApexAZ score: 8

smitty81 score: 7.8



First off... I'm glad this is underway!

Second, snapping pics and reviewing cigars at 63MPH may not be the best idea. These things work better if the participants are focused (and alive, for that matter).

Anyway, smitty was onto something... these are Tripa Corta (not long filler). The "glittery specks" thing is something you see on PLs due to the band.... funny that you both noticed that and commented on it.

I've heard a couple people compare these to vanilla lattes and, as far as cheap cigars (and recent production cigars) go, I really enjoy the hell out of these.




Great reviews, guys!

...and already someone posts between the reviews and the revealing of what they smoked.

I had wondered about the bad but I thought there is no way in hell a band had that much glitter.

It was a pretty good cigar though.

I could see the vanilla. It was a sweet cigar. The short filler explains the short ash too.
