Overall impression - oak and spice, full bodied. The first inch was classic Partagas cream and spice, with thick, full bodied, full flavored smoke. Really took me by surprise. In the next inch, the cream disappeared to be replaced by butter which reminded me of a Cohiba. The spice toned down until it reached about half way then it came back strong as ever. From about midway until the end, spice and oak predominated. Even at such a young age, the cigar has developing flavor profiles. I think when they are two years old they will be a great cigar. Now they are really good but still too young. If you have the money, stock up on some and put them away. Recommended.
