Partagas Mille Fleurs - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on June 25, 2021):

Bought a 25 box of these...and as with every box, I have to smoke one right away, then let them take a long peaceful sleep in the humidor. But I have to give them a try, right!? So tonight smoked a sample of my box. Paired it with a nice California Cabernet Sauvignon. Construction was good and wrapper sheen was spot on for me. Proper amount of "squish" to the soft pinch...not too spongy, not hard or brittle. It felt "just right". Pre-light draw was earthy, and shocker...young tobacco and barnyard, but definitely that Cuban barnyard if you know what I mean. Draw was spot on and for a smaller stick, kind of typical tighter draw, but not too tight. I find this with a lot of the Cubans in this size range...which I like. Initial burn is great draw, with lots of smoke and actually to my surprise...very "velvety" with good mouth feel!? I think that is what I want to say, but for sure I was surprised with the amount of quality smoke. (I use a standard guillotine cutter for this.) I won't bore you with details...this is not a complex smoke, but that is totally ok! It is a VERY good smoke with lots of mouth feel, earth, leather, and some pepper tones, but not bitter at all....even a tad creamy...surprising. And keep in mind I smoked this almost right from the mailbox! Can't wait to see this after 6 months. Final verdict...great smoke especially for this price and a very obvious morning, lunch break, or mid-day smoke. Keep in mind I give it 5 stars respective of this amazing price from a quality Cuban manufacturer. Next one I smoke will be with coffee...I think that will be a nice mix. I'll grab another box and immediately put it in storage for 2022. Can't complain for the price and for sure you get that Cuban tone, of course without the complexity and depth of a bigger or higher quality Habanos. No this is NOT a Cohiba Siglo, Monte #2, or Bolivar, but then again...I can still afford to fuel up my fishing boat! :) Final thought...I want to say....THANK YOU, CT! You guys rock! I have NEVER ever gotten such quick shipping from anywhere else, and with such great tracking, packaging, and quality upon arrival. Heck...I am STILL waiting for a couple boxes from other suppliers and I ordered those weeks before these! No complaints and I will NOT order form anywhere else other than CT form now on. This was my 2nd order and it won't be my last by a long shot! Now to my shopping cart...
Thank you!
