Rafael Gonzalez Perlas from the smuggler of the budgie with thanks. I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised with this. I'm liking its style. Pleasant smoke for hardly any money ( none at all in this case [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122])
Nice smoke.

I really wanted these to be an amazing find. I have about 40 left in a 50 cab of the RGCigarritos which have the most amazing aroma and taste but are almost un smokable tight draw, I was kinda hoping the Perlas would have the same profile but clouds of smoke. I must try the others in this brand. Also the Cigarritos are from 2000 so age will be on their side, unfortunately they seem to be part of the afflicted 98-02 plugged disorder I've been reading about here.

I really like the perlas - generally lots of smoke! - Might have just been plugged?

I have smoked about 10 of mine and not had a plugged one they will always be a little tight due to there size but they need to be smoked slowly same as the monte Joyitas

08 is the darker one I'd guess but both look yummy.

Gurt muver is gurt meaning large in south coast slang and muver meaning the mother translation (big mumma) example "that's a gurt muver bee!"

I'm guessing you were clever enough to go for a box code from a better year? 2000 is a generally dodgy year I'm told. However I have tried to dry them before smoking which helps. I think the problem is that is love the flavour so much that I rush them.
