I personally find the regular Partagas line (yellow box) to be totally bland and lifeless. The Spanish Rosado is slightly better, but still too dull. The Serie S is actually good if you are in the mood for an ultra-mild but not lifeless smoke. The Cifuentes seasonals are probably the best of any of the non-maduro NC Partys.
Of course, the best IMHO has to be the Partagas Black. It is absolutely NOTHING like any of the other Partagas line. A totally different animal, to be sure. It's a good smoke if you like heavy/strong maduros.

That yellow celloed Partgas Black you gave me looks awesomely delicious!

Agreed. Most of the Blacks are pretty damned good.
Stick with the info mentioned above. Black is the way to go. I've noticed with the other varieties you get more a uninspired smoke. Not quite a Swisher sweet but almost that bad. I had all but given this brand up until i tried the black.

My thoughts EXACTLY!

I see what you're doing!!
It's mostly wrapper issues I think. The newer wrappers leave a sour taste in the mouth. It's almost as if they need to age for an additional year and a half.
