So I was sitting in front of my CC's having trouble to decide what to smoke before dinner. Since I couldn't make up my mind I decided to go with an NC I won in a rafle on another forum.
Made an espresso martini with some Serrano Lavado Cuban coffee I found at my local roasters and having a May 14 upmann Nr2. Both are fantastic and such a great pairing.
Partagas D4 tonight. At the risk of sounded gauche, this is the one Marca that just does not tickle my tastes - the wood, Earth, and white pepper just do not seem to hit the receptors!
I cannot fault the construction as it was pristine, but the flavours did nothing for me at all - all the wood and pepper makes for a dry smoke, and I found myself craving a splash of cream, a zing of zest, or a jolt of chocolate. Alas, it was not to be!
Though I do like to smoke a Partagas every now and again to see if my tastes have changed, at the moment they have not!
