Paul Garmirian celebrates 30 years of making cigars by releasing the PG Gourmet Series III. The original Gourmet Series debuted in 1990. Following that, the Series II was a bit stronger blend. Now, the Series III is said to be richer using darker and oilier wrappers.
It kinda caught me off guard how slow this cigar was burning. I was about an hour and twenty minutes in and only halfway done. The burn was pretty wavy and I was tempted to touch it up a few times but let it run its course and it started burning razor sharp after the halfway point. The draw was just a tad looser that I normally like but the quality and quantity of smoke was unreal. The end kinda left my head spinning and I'm glad I had eaten before I started this review or I would have been in trouble. If you enjoy slow burning, strong, rich cigars I highly recommend picking up a few to try.
