Taste Test Challenge!!

Dear Friends,

Firstly, I must apologise for the delay in publishing the Taste Test Challenge.

The September 2006 entries have now been posted to the website at http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/taste.htm

Here's a taster...........

Cohiba Corona Especiales
This slim, mature cigar bore a dusty teak-coloured wrapper airbrushed with tiny diamonds of plume and wore a delicate, lacy web of minute veins that were feint enough to give the illusion of being painted on. The band slipped effortlessly over the head of this cigar, the girth of which had obviously diminished with the passage of time....................

Partagas Serie D No. 4
At 4 7/8" long, with a ring gauge of 50, the Partagas Serie D No.4 is a cigar of classic Robusto proportions. The typical D4 has a chocolate coloured, almost oily wrapper, and is firmly built (albeit responsive to a gentle squeeze), with very little surface vein................

Partagas Serie D No. 3

Initial Impressions 9/10
Nice oil-laden dark wrapper leaf as anticipated from all the previous ‘Ediciòn Limitadas’. The D3 oozes a lovely ‘old leather briefcase’ aroma which is quite delicate. I let Casa perform the selection for me. There was absolutely no fault with the initial appearance..............
