Partagas Lusitanias - 10 cigars

Product Review (submitted on January 11, 2015):

Initial light showed spice that transitioned quickly to a nutty flavor profile. Very good construction. Great burn but not razor sharp. Unlike other Habanos I have had it is not rolled too tight. Start of the second third gave me nutty creaminess. Very enjoyable. As I entered the second third more spice came through that added to the nut and cream. I was able to let the cigar sit for a bit and puff it right back. Smoke output was perfect. Not too much not too little. Paired this cigar with a 10 percent Belgian style ale brewed with spices and by the second third already felt a bit light headed. This is a Habano that requires sitting in a nice chair given the 2 hour smoke time.
Ended up having dinner then came back to the cigar with a cup of coffee. The last third was much more powerful and you could really tell the nicotine was full force. Still it was not harsh and more wood and coco came through with the nicotine zing.
Overall I loved the transitions, construction, and draw. By far my top Habano thus far!
