Thoughts on Partagas de Luxe?

[RHNewfie]

Never had one before and just came into possession of two boxes. I'm gonna smoke one now and age one for a few years in a ziploc.

 

[RHNewfie]

This can't be good...

 

[RHNewfie]

Love me some shorts! Charlottes are probably my favorite Partagas though.

 

[DOMD]

I would also like to hear what you think on these!

Sounds like you need to fire one up to see how they are and post a review. Might developa cult following.

 

[RHNewfie]

Alrighty, I will see if I can fire one up this evening! I hope they are ok since the price point is awesome.

 

[RHNewfie]

well, smoked one today. These still need to sit for a bit and stablize before I can give an accurate opinion I think. They were a bit wet it seems. The burn and smoke volume was great but it is a little harsh, the cuban taste is def there even along with some of the signature Partagas profile. This cigar is best served as a quick smoke or one that you don't mind tossing if you have to run. I wouldn't run out to fill my humi with them as there are much better options such as the MF and PCE or Short.

Thanks for the review, I was curious about them.

I dont like this cigar, not even the vintage I had from 70s(only vintage cc I have had that I didnt like). Hope you enjoy them more than I do.

They're okay. I'd rather have a short.

They're okay. I'd rather have a short.

As would I, by many orders of magnitude! I will give them a shot again in a month when they have dried a bit. I also think the marca lends to higher expectations. I think that if I unbanded one and gave it to you and said " JLP" you'd say "great JLP!". Anyhoo, I ended up with them so I will just have to find the ideal situation to smoke them in!

I've smoked a bunch of these, never really had a bad one. Then again, I'm partial to Partagas.

 

[RHNewfie]

...Then again, I'm partial to Partagas.

You and me both!!

Not a bad smoke and age does them wonders I've had a few boxes of these bought a box when I started smoking and had a few gifted to me. I don't mind this smoke specially with age it mellows out and gives off a lot more flavour but its not something I will see on the shelf and buy but not a bad smoke for some one getting into the habit.
