    Sure, I have had some that were great and others that were bitter and harsh. I have had the best luck with the torpedos.

    So far the best one is a torpedo that I kept for about a month and a half in a 70% humidor. The wrapper got even oilier and kinda chewy, really nice.

    I like the Partagas black Magnifico. It's the only Partagas that I've liked so far after trying many of them.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    Default I want to enjoy them...

    they seem to be one of my buddy's fav smokes - but I can't seem to get into Partagas. I'll keep trying. Black label is a sun grown binder ey? I'll give em a shot.

    edit: Nope...scratch the Black Label...maduro.....I HATE maduro.....

    I guess I'll have to try some other Partagas.

    I got a tin of the prontos and they are nice little cigars. Good for 15-20 minute walks.

    I enjoy the Black Labels. My favorite is the Pyramid but the Pronto is a great little short smoke.

    These are "okay" but nothing to write home about in my book.

    Default Thanks ggiese

    I'll give em' a try, but I'm with CC so far. Seems everytime I buy a Partagas I am unimpressed.

    Say.....have you gotten your Gurkha Boers yet?

    I like the Clasico. Nice smoke. I have yet to come across one that has disappointed me either in flavor or burn.

    Not to jack the thread but I like the partagas "s" series. I really dig the figurado shapes. I wish I more companies would put out more shaped like the S series Esplendido.


    But they could taste better.
