Partagas Salamone

[e-man67]

Brother Hugh (Hotreds) gifted me this stick so the least I could do is post up a review. This is probably the most beautiful looking sticks I have ever layed eyes on...I mean it's a work of art.



I clip the cap and take a dry draw...plenty of airflow (maybe a tad too much). Time for ignition....I get a lite creamy, nutty notes right off the bat. The flavors tend to be on the lite side very mellow and pleasent. About half way through I hit a plug of very peppery spice...no kidding! Nearing the end I get notes of nutneg and jasmine with faint floral notes. Burn time about 1 hour 10 minutes.



This was a great stick that should be perfect once things even out and age. Thanks again Hugh for this wonderful opportunity! :cbig:

I was gifted one from a guy at the lounge and he said we they are excellent and for me to wait and smoke it with him at the next herf. Unfortunatly that was a couple of months ago. And I haven't seen him around since.

Thanks for the review,mate! Quite on the spot with the floral notes in me opinion. For the draw, next time try clipping it shorter. WCS ye cut a tad more if the draw is tight.

Yeah, before I clipped it I read some reviews about folks saying to take off a tad bit more than you normally would with a torp cap...so I did...probably would have lasted longer had I not taken so much off. Nice draw though!

I've smoked two so far & found both very disappointing. Beautiful construction & draw, but after an initial bitterness, very little flavor at all. One of the mildest Cuban cigars I've had. I don't mind a milder cigar, but give me some flavor please.
