So I am smoking through a bunch of different PC's to see which one I will be buying a box of for in between classes at school. This one came highly recommended by my tobacconist.

Appearance and construction - 15/15
Perfect in every way. I have never seen a PC that was constructed this well. The wrapper was firm and filled with leaf yet the clip and draw were effortless and perfect.

Flavor - 22/25
This is a definite flavor bomb. The cigar is mostly earthy with some subtle sweetness and nice pepper on the finish. Best N/C PC I have had to date - by a long shot. I smoked this a few hours after a machito(which I really dig) and this blew it away with both strength and flavor. There was some serious power here but in a controlled and refined way.

Smoking characteristics 23/25
Almost perfect again. The burn was a hair off toward the end but everything else was divine.

Overall 33/35
This is a great PC. It is exaclty what I look for in a small cigar. I recommend it to anyone.

I have been real curious about these myself, they sound awesome. If you want the ultimate NC PC get the Davidoff Milinium blend, the only downfall there is the price.

great review PMP. I once had the toro and it was a very pleasent cigar. It was a while ago, so I would love to try it again. Great, another cigar I need to add to the list. Don't know if that's a bad thing or good thing Big Grin

I revisited this one from my latest shipment. The construction wasn't as good as my last one but still good by petit corona standards. The flavors are solid and enjoyable.

Its 28 bucks for a box of 10, so 2.80 a pop and well worth it.
