Partagas Lusitania '99 - Rockstar - Received this from Freddy in a trade. I like to refer to it as the mother of all smokes. Hugely impressive due to its size. I may require the neighbor's assistance in lighting in it because I only have a small yard. I paired it with a nice full bodied red from Aussie. I sat outside with wifey, sis, Nicole and Ashley. Soon we were joined by neighbors - Jeff and Dody and their 2 small kids. They were followed by good friends Jon and Christine and their son Owen. The pool was full of kids, the patio was full of adults. Jon was the only other smoker in the crowd. I offered him a choice between a RASS, a PSD4 and a RASCC. All great choices, no? He chose the RASCC. Small but excellent. That smoke always amazes me by how long it takes to smoke for such a small cigar. The PSD4 is the opposite. I am always surprised by how fast it smokes. So here we were, both on the boat from Cuba. One of the biggest and one of the smallest. Both big flavor profiles though.
