Partagas Aristocrats

[sogon]

I won't go into an aficionado's rant, mostly because I'm not one. Just a fan, but to put my notes into perspective I will say that I am quite fond of Partagas as rule.
I've been searching for the ultimate cheap CC for daily consumption. I believe that search is now over. The Aristocrats have a big flavor in a small reasonably priced cigar. Classic Partagas flavor, a little milder than some of the bigger vitolas but this definitely has the flavor and experience of smoking a more expensive cigar. For any fans of Partagas looking for some inexpensive daily CCs I highly recommend this, much more so than the Mille Fleur from either Partagas or RyJ.

Sounds like a decent stick, yet another I need to add to my CC Wishlist.

sogon, have you tried the Shorts? The price is only slightly higher and you will you give up about 1" in length compared to the Aristocrat. Shorts are superb.

I must agree. Shorts are simply fantastic.

I haven't tried the shorts yet, but I will. I have heard that they have that "BIG" Partagas flavor profile despite the small package. I'm going to Barcelona tomorrow so maybe I'll grab a box there or at the airport.

Excellent. Let us know how you like them. The '05 vintage is very good, readily available and smoking nicely now. Shorts definitely have the big flavor and, IMHO, are the best of the small cigars.

Havent had an Aritocat or a short. I will definitely have to try one of each!!!

Shorts are the Shit, period end of subject a short subject. For a low cost stick H. Upmann Regalias might be tops on my list

Thanks for the review....Very nice
Aristrocrats are a great smoke. This was one of my very first boxes about 16 years ago! (I still have the box stored away I have been thinking about getting another box now that I have a decent humidor with which to age them. I agree that the price is right.....Another great valued CC is the ERDM Choix Supreme...IMHO, much better than a Cohiba Robusto, and about 1/3 the $$$!!

Happy smoking, all

Holy crap!!!

The Shorts are friggin excellent. I don't really know what to say, these are really really good, much better than I was expecting. They really are much better than the Aristocrats, this is a no compromise small cigar, perfect.

Thanks so much for turning me on to these. I would have never thought to grab these.

That is the downside. . .:hysterica

 

[isad]

I have been smoking but looking for a nice mild smoke that isnt to big?

So what's the verdict?For those who have tried the Aristocrats and the Shorts? Seemed to get off topic........Never had the Aristocrat, I have the Short, just a little to harsh for me.
