Partagas - Partagas De Luxe
Box code: MUR JUL12
Size:
5.5" long x 40 ring gauge.
Appearance: 7/10
Standard looking cigar, medium brown in colour a couple of visible veins nothing too major.
Construction: 4.0/10
Pre light draw didn?t have too much resistance, on lighting I lost nearly 2cm of the wrapper on one side where the cigar was completely under filled. It didn?t smoke to bad up until the 2/3rd where the cigar had completely softened up, as this was my first partagas, I was disappointed to say the least.
Flavour: 3/10
Pre draw - Leathery
1/3 - Strong tobacco flavours.
2/3 - No evolution in flavour
3/3 - Very harsh, burnt flavours.
Value: 4/10
at around 80 cuc a box of 10, which is what I paid in Cuba this is seemingly good value for money. However if I tasted this blind I would have guessed that it was a good European machine made cigar and definitely not a cigar from Cuba. Sounds rude but I will probably keep a couple by to see if there is any change a give the rest out as gifts to friends and family
Overall: 4/10
A complete disappointment for me tbh and one of my worst smokes, definitely my worst Cuban smoke.
