Partagas #4

Appearance and Construction

9 of 15 points

This thing had more veins than an aging hollywood actress. The feel was very dry and coarse, absolutely no gloss or slick feel to it whatsoever.

Flavor

24 of 25 points

Started out with a rich, peppery taste which faded away after the midway point. Very pleasant and rewarding.A woodsy flavor takes over as the pepper taste decreases.

Smoking Characteristics

25 of 25 points

This thing had an excellent ,straw-like draw. Construction was flawless, no wrapper issues or anything like that. It held a slow, consistent burn ring the entire length of the cigar to the nub. Very prodigious smoke output. It leaves you with a "woodsy" after taste that is very pleasant to the senses.

Overall Impression

30 of 35 points

Other than the appearance, this is a good little corona that thinks its a churchill. The flavor is absolutely excellent and the draw is perhaps it's greatest strength. The woodsy after taste and rich, peppery taste leave you with a sense of surprise that it's such a goodie.
