I'd say it was too dried out for sure! Once PLs are aged (and I would begin to consider these aged) they respond to a slightly higher %RH than your average CC (say around 65-69%). I've found the Belicosos to be a nice representation of the brand.
Of course, this comes as a full-on, cracked-out PL whoooer!
If you're in the market for spending a little coin, the Asian REs from one year earlier - the Robustos de Larranaga - are still widely available, tend to have excellent construction, and are primed for smoking now! They still have at least another couple years of legs on them, but they. are. ready! A great cigar it will be hard to see disappear...
