Partagas (Cuba) Presidentes

Ugly cigar, but it will knock you on your ass.

Medium bodied flavors of spice and some coffee with a long nutty finish. Draw a little firm and burn o.k. More of a novelty but remains a good smoke.

Partagas Presidente v-98. This tacos vitola measuring 61/4 x 47 is a robust, spicy and full-flavored box-pressed perfecto with that characteristic Partagas "Old Havana" taste. Like most havanas, truly wonderful, of course they must be properly humidified

I nipped the end off and the pre-light tasting was quite flavorful. Typical barnyard was strongest. I lit up and experienced a mild smoke. I chewed the smoke and I always exhale through my nose. The nose picks up so many flavors. I was telling my Son, Kevin, how the tastes were continuing to lip burning. I wish it was stronger with the pleasant tastes more pronounced.
I will smoke these and seek these out. They are VERY GOOD

No problems with this stick from 05. Lots of smoke, burn was a little off but corrected itself. Started out peppery and turned into a toasty nutty flavor. Some pepper and spice came back towards the end. A very enjoyable perfecto.

Despite some minor burn problems, this is still a great cigar. Creamy and spicy with coffee and nuts. Smoked the last of these this morning from an '03 order, I'll likely be buying more soon.

Nice looking, burns a tad off but the draw and taste are great.

A bit difficult to light, but a perfect burn and nice draw after lighting. Strong nutty overtones through most of the cigar, very flavorful although not the classic Partagas profile. Strong finish with some honey undertones mixed in. A great hour smoke!

Very nice and tasty smoke. This hand-rolled perfecto has a nice tawny brown wrapper with minimal veins. Solid construction with no soft spots. Delightful prelight aroma. Tapered foot made for an easy light. Draw was firm but unobtrusive. Started with mild pepper and spice, but became very mellow as it was burned. A mild cedar note joined in at the halfway point, and the complexity and strength increased in the last third, where a mild leather flavor became apparent. The strength, though, was never overhwelming. The ash was dense and white. Moderate amount of creamy white smoke. All in all, I found this one hour, mild-to-medium bodied smoke to be very enjoyable. Paired well with HC7 rum. Bought a box.

Nice smoke. Mine burned well with plenty of flavorful smoke. Medium bodied creamy smoke with mild spicy notes. Spice flavor increased on finish. Finish was nice, even in flavor and enjoyable

One of these is on my all-time list. Spicy and musty with a smooth finish, this cigar was both powerful and balanced. I also love the taco vitola which makes this an even better deal for me.

The Partagas Presidentes (Taco) measure 6 1/4 x 47. A box pressed Perfectos if you will. A very rustic and crude looking wrapper from 03-99. Lit easily, but had to torch it a couple of times until it got over the hump where it evened out all the way to the end. Nice easy draw produced lots of smoke with a great aroma. Subtle hints of a mild spice and nuts, and another unknown flavor, added to the enjoyment. The last third of this cigar tasted like I had a mouthful of cashews filtering all the smooth and creamy smoke. A finish I will long remember!

The Partagas Presidentes I smoked was medium to slightly full in flavors and strength. It was not overly complex. More like...here are my flavors, enjoy!

Kind of a sloppy roll, but this baby has style points with flavor. I had some burn issues. Ash a little flaky. Taste of old Habana with some promise down the road. Some inconsistencies within the same box, but that's ISOM lately.
