anyone tried a Partagas 170 yet?

[mountainman]

i love Partagas brand but am wondering if the 170 is worth the time or became like the benji series and went down hill. couldnt find any reviews yet and was hoping some brothers have lit one up.

well for those that are wondering like I am, reviews are starting to post and it looks like the initial word is the cigars is a flop. still interested in the word of a fellow BOTL.

If you're talking about the General Cigar Co version, there's this: http://halfwheel.com/partagas-aniversario-170-robusto/97529

If you're talking about the Habanos SA version, I don't think they've been released yet.

I honestly doubt many people around here have tried many new NC Partagas cigars. General Cigar Co doesn't inspire confidence in terms of putting out high quality tasty cigars. The price point is wack at $16 for a robo, at that price you can grab damn near any good cigar on the market. The Salamone comes in at $18 and at that price why not just shell out a few more bucks for a Padron Family Series? You at least know that will be good. If you're looking for something new to try out I'd recommend the Tatuaje TAA 2015 or Tatuaje Hyde which both just recently dropped. Or wait for the soon to be released Warped Corto X50, you can grab a box of those for the same price as 10 of the Partagas.

The price dropped to half that but I know what you mean and agree. Partagas is one of my favs and is really the only reason I am giving it a look. The non Cubans haven't been the same for a while.

I do not care for NC Partagas. Very inconsistent in their quality, and too high a price for that. This makes me very reluctant to try stuff from them.
