Just smoked my first Partagas Black last night and thought it to be a very good cigar. Had some burn issues but as it was quite windy that could've been the reason. To me the flavor was very similar to the cu-avana punisher without the hot tip (which i love btw!). Anyone else had these two and think the same thing?

I actually smoked quite a bit of these back when I started out. Not sure why I stopped (probably to try out other smokes), but I really enjoyed these. Jerry over at stogiereview summed it up nicely:

I noticed that too... and like Sin, I smoked these by the boat loads when I first started. I just never went back to them because I only had so much room in the humi...
I also think these work better in smaller vitolas.
That is a good review and thanks for the link. I'm trying as many different cigars as i can because i've really gotten into the cigar scene over the last year, been an occasional smoker for many years just not near a b&m anymore so it makes it tough to get em without buying a box, which i hate to do before smoking one. It is what it is i guess, i'll keep getting samplers online and exploring lol.
It's that yummy Medio Tiempo leaf. mmmmmm
This is the smoke that started my whole cigar addiction, yet it's been at least two years since I smoked one.
Many of our site sponsors will sell fivers... you could pick up 4-5 fivers of different things for around the price of a box, and increase your variety/exposure that way. That is (kind of)* how I got started
*(In truth, I bought a few boxes at first and then realized my folly. After I made room in the 100 ct humi, I started in on 5 packs and broadened my horizons.)
I hear ya sean, i just have a hard time spending that money on five when i can get a box for twenty or thirty dollars more lol. I have been getting the premium samplers and have a good variety goin, the partagas i mentioned has been in my humi for six months or so and just got to it.
