What a wonderful cigar. This was a gift from John Tripp, THANKS JOHN!
WOw. Just wow. Great construction with a mild blemish at the foot where part of the wrapper was missing. No affect to the burn though. Prelight draw was absolutely perfect. Not loose, not tight. None of the looseness that has been an emerging issue with 04's of this size.
Great Partagas flavor and spice right from the outset. A hint of black pepper to start off with mellowing nicely within the first couple inches. By this time a very sweet, honeylike taste emerged along with a wonderful scent that reminded me of toasted caramel. Smoked this one down to within the last inch.
Thanks again John for this wonderful cigar. Time to stock up on these suckers...
