Had a little bit time off today so decided to go for a nice stroll with coffee since it was a lovely morning. Anyway this is my first review so please be kind
Partagas Short
Size - 4 3/8
Ring Gauge - 42
Appearance
If I'm honest not the best looking cigar i have ever seen, a little veiny. Although it did have a nice little sheen to it, with almost dark looking wrapper.
Pre-Light
Didn't have too much of an aroma about it, seemingly a little bland. However with a nice cut (1st time with my new Xi1) the draw was just how I like it a little on the easy side, with a little woody taste.
Flavour
This little baby didn't miss the start and shot out the blocks! Straight in with a lovely nutty and almost caramel/toasted flavours, with a nice amount of smoke and a perfect draw. After the first third these flavours started to change into more coffee and cream flavours - which enhanced as I reached half way. In the final third these flavours did take a back seat with a more pronounced peppery flavours with a little hint of cream.
Overall
It was a great smoke and very enjoyable which I would put up with the top 5 I've had this year. I was surprised to the flavours this baby put out (I must admit I was a little dubious before hand). I would defiantly recommend this mighty little stick to everyone, as a nice morning or late night smoke. It's safe to say I will be getting a bunch of these in the next order.
