Your Thoughts on the Partagas 160??

[Donk]

Hello there brothers, recently I purchased a couple of Partagas 160s from one of my local shops, it was a nice little sale, buy one get one 50%off. So I bought a couple. Being that these little F*ckers are $26.00 a peice and are claimed to be a 30 year old Cameroon wrapper, and what like 15 year old binder and filler? I was expecting a rather good smoke. Actually I was expecting an excellent smoke, but no, again I was let down. I have a couple more but I doubt if my mind will change on them.

I would like all the brothers around to please comment with your thoughts if you have smoked one or more of these. I'd appreciate the feed back.

Thanks brothers.

I'm in the same boat...i have a 160 robusto minor that i' ve not tried yet, and i've had the 150. The 150 was a great mild/med smoke. I had mine first thing in the mroning on Father's day and it was great!

tasted like air to me. didn't get any flavor at all from the one i smoked.

I dont care for these at all, I enjoy a mild smoke from time to time, but I honestly do not think I would buy a 160 even at $5.

I was gifted one & thought it was a very good, but mild smoke. I love the spiciness of cameroon wrapper, but maybe the age has mellowed out even that.

I purchase a minor for I think 16 or 18? I haven't brought myself to fire it up yet though.

I think it's worth trying & definitely has a cool factor that it has that amount of age on it. But for the money, It's not quite the 'experience/event' you get in many other sticks in the price range: Davidoff, Padron, etc...

Just my 2 cents...

I don't really care for the 160 but that's just me.

Same here, I have had the 150 and it was very mild. I just did not go for it and will never get it again.

The Partagas 160 is one of the most disappointing cigars I've ever smoked. It was far, far too light flavor wise--might have well just smoked paper.

It's been a couple of years since I've smoked one, but I still feel ripped off for what I paid ($25+)

Yep. I second that.

I've been smoking cigars off and on for over 30 years and have never spent half of $25 on a cigar.

I think the 160 was a big let down too.

 

[kyleb]

Yup, agreed with everyone above.

Very disappointed with both.

Ain't that the truth, but I do it every time.

Well it sounds like There is a general agreement that they are not worth the money paid for them, and I agree. To be honest I was really dissapointed in them, so I will prob. never waste my time on the 150 either. Well at least I know I am not crazy for not liking or enjoying that 26 dollar dog rocket. Thanks for all the comments brothers.
