Appearance:
The cigar is looking magnificent. It has a slight box press, the wrapper is of dark brown color with a nice oily sheen. It is moderately veiny, and it is very well rolled. The cap is beautifully applied, it is well filled, and pretty firm between the fingers.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
The wrapper smells of hay, and some oil, typical of Partagas.
Burn/ Draw
The cigar cuts easily, and the first cold draw is perfect and gives lots of wood, hay, salty leather and spices. Once lit up, lots of strong cedar comes to the palate, mixed with some floral notes. The draw remains flawless, letting just enough resistance. It produces a good amount of smoke all along.
Initial third:
The first third of the cigar opens up with full flavored tobacco and lots of cedar. There are also lots salty earth and leather, a good amount of pepper spiciness on the nose. There is also some caramel that brings hints of sweetness. Overall, the first third is in the lower medium range. The burn line is sharp and the ashes build up for a good inch long. The ash is quite flaky and has a beautiful dark grey color.
Middle third:
In the middle third, the strength is picking up, the Petit Coronas Especiales is now revealing its true self. The dominant flavors are still of tobacco, cedar, leather and earth. However, the sweet caramel is gaining in importance, joined by hints of spicy vanilla. The pepper is still around. Overall, the middle of the cigar is in the solid medium range.
Final third:
In the final third, the dominant flavors are similar to the previous third. There are still lots of complexity, with smooth aromas of coffee, vanilla, toast and caramel. The pepper is still there on the lips. The body of the cigar is still in the medium to full range.
In summary, it is a great cigar, full of flavors and power. Every Habanos aficionado should have at least one in his humidor.
Smoking time:
45 – 60 Minutes

Delightful, a bargain

I've tried about 10 of these in the last few months. Every one was wonderful: mellow, complex flavors, great draw, familiar characteristics of great Partagas cigars. Consistent, right out of the box. I would take this cigar over a Montecristo No. 4 AND these are wonderfully priced.
An expected staple of all my reviews: 5-stars as well for Cigar Terminal. Fast shipping, secure packaging, cigars arrived in wonderful condition. -
Wonderful, and a bargain

By Robert - I got a box of these about 5 months ago, and have smoked one every 6-8 weeks as they settle in. They offer gobs of that signature Partagas richness and barnyard complexity from the start, yet are very creamy. So far, I like them more than the less accessible Bolivar PC, and the rather simple Partagas MF. They're already second to only the Monte 4 among my marevas, and they cost far less than the Bolivar PC. Terrific cigars! Terrific value!

Which Partagas do I choose?…
, 10/2/2021
By Haggis - I’m not sure if I like the super or this one more. They are kind of neck and neck for me I would have to say that between the two this one is not quite as Bold or deep in flavor as the super Partagas. It smokes to me a bit more milder and dryer on the pallet then the super. They are both excellent Cigars with perfect draws and burns. And they each have quite different profiles. Heck, just get both and decide for yourself. I have found for what is available online that the Partagas cigars are so consistent and never seem to disappoint me. If the super Partagas Is a 88 this is a 87.

By BasicTek - I've been trying out different cuban cigars and so far this was the strongest I've tried. I've noticed quite an improvement after letting them sit in my coolidor for a couple weeks so I'd recommend doing that if you get them. For the price of just over $4 a stick these are a remarkable value (already ordered 2 more boxes after trying my 1st) They start off as a good flavored medium build and get stronger each third until then end. Easily providing an hour long smoke (at medium pace). Very rich flavors and that unique Cuban spice is noticeable from beginning to end. Currently one my top/favorite cigars ever. and Something I plan on always keeping in stock. At this price it could be a daily smoke but it's easier top appreciate having it just 2-3 times a week.
