Who doesn't appreciate the look of these cigars? They are toothy but perfectly constructed! Image
I paired it with Korbel California Champagne! (Cheap) This is the first time I paired a cigar with champagne! Image
The PAM 1964 has a draw like butter! After toasting the foot the first couple of draws gave a wonderful bouquet of coffee, cocoa, and nuts! Image
I have had a few of these and each time I am amazed how consistent they are in construction and flavor. Image
The champagne actually intensified the the flavor profile of this cigar. I was picking up some orange peel. That is a first for me with these cigars. Image
The ash held to this point and fell right after this picture was taken. Only a small amount of correcting was necessary to keep this burning evenly. Image
This was a great cigar to end the year with! Throughout the experience I thought about the previous year! I thought about the highs and lows but mostly about what I have learned from my BOTL/SOTL here this past year. I thought about how life should be experienced like a cigar; savored and appreciated!

Thank you Steve for this great cigar! Happy New Year!!! [Reply]
I agree, this is one cigar that seems very constant with wrap, draw, and taste. They just went up 40% a stick at my B&M so they are sorta off the radar now, but still a very good smoke. [Reply]
