I had the pleasure of trying one of these out after I recieved it in the PIF from CWaddell_1 (a very generous BOTL by the way). The size that I recieved was the Bravo size.
I smoked this nice dark stick around midday after a light lunch. Upon first glance it was a very nice looking stick with minor construction flaws near the tip but nothing really to complain about. It had a deep strong smell and upon toasting it starting emitting a very nice aroma. The first puff was nice and smooth and a little stronger than I expected. I would classify as medium-full bodied. The draw was nice and easy with no hesitation. The burn remained fairly even with a little help from Colibri here and there. The cigar remained nice and strong throughout with a rich flavor adding to the experience. Near the end I noticed some slight harshness and over-heating, but its almost to be expected when you smoke it right down to the nub.
Overall it was a very nice offering from Partagas which is quickly becoming one of my new favorite brands. I would definitely recommend this smoke to friends who enjoy deeper flavors.
Between the Partagas Black line and the Partagas Cifuentes lines I think I may have found my new go-to brand. Carlos Torano look out!!
