I'd say it's a dark roasted coffee type now, not much in the way of creaminess though it still has a sweet finish. Not the most complex smoke ever, but very rich, satisfying core flavors and a very wallet friendly price point. While it's apples and oranges, I'd take the PLP or RG Perla over the Papa Fritas or Illusione CC, no question. I'd also probably skip on buying the Quinteros again in lieu of spending a little more for these. Not that the Quinteros are bad. I just prefer this flavor profile more (and I'm sure the opposite could apply based on who is doing the smoking). You dissin' Joe's Papa Fritas?Yes. Straight up, same price, I'd smoke the PLP. It'd be a close call, might depend on if I was really in the mood for a maduro. But for basically half the price of a PF? No question.

Any box buy you would hit at that price point?Bunch of different stuff. Just depends on what you're looking to get in terms of vitola and quality. You can get 10 or 15 of different robustos/petit robustos for that, 25 of most petit coronas. If you go tripa corta, you might be able to swing 2 boxes of something in the petit corona range.
