  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I picked up a Partagas Black Label (Bravo, the only size they had) the other day and loved it. I haven't been smoking good cigars for very long and this is the first one I really liked. So I was thinking about of buying a box of them online.

Now I have only smoked the Bravo, so my dumb newbie question is, is there going to be a differance in the sizes? It's the same filler and wrapper?

Your palette and the specific cigar line will have something to do with perceived differences I think. As far as the cigar in question goes, I have smoked bunches of Prontos, the littlest of them at 4.2" X 36, and some Maximos in tubes (6" X 50) and am now going through a box of Bravos and to me there is not a huge difference in profile. The little guys obviously burn hotter faster and the you get a longer smoke before you get to that point with a toro. YMMV of course.

Partagas Blacks are a favorite of mine. I tried them all before settling on the Clasico. I like one on my evening walk.

If you liked that cigar you should go ahead and try an AF Chateau SG and Dbl Chateau and the cuban belicoso all are SG and you will find that it matches up very well with that flavor profile you're liking right now.
