Partagas Serie D No. 4 Cigar - 1 Single
by Duncan
This was a positive but weird smoke for me. As of writing this I am at the nub, having been provided with an complex experience. The cigar had a fresh farmyard aroma, which is a favourite for me. First light started off as a grassy, light earth, slowly transforming into a strong woody note that I was slow to pick up on at first. Usual nutty flavour showed itself almost all the way through. Final third was the most interesting however. A peppery taste hit the retro hard, but not unpleasant, then a fresh barley taste as if it was straight from the field. Finally, I’m getting an extremely strong salted peanut taste.
Fantastic little smoke, will be on the list for down the line agin for sure!

Well constructed, nice even burn producing a strong 2 inch ash. Draw and smoke output was good, flavour a little spicy but quite mild. No re-lights or touch ups required.

Thoroughly enjoyable smoke with typical Partagas flavours. Albeit this is a Taco Ive learnt my lesson from these Belicosos shaped cigars and ended up making a first cut which was more of a snip and just removed the tip at the smoking end, then a second cut further up the smoking end of the cigar to get the right amount of smoke. What I would call typically Cuban flavours all the way down, as you get similar flavours apparent in an H.Upmann, HdM and RyJ, according to my taste buds anyway, not necessarily the predominant flavours but there all the same. It lasted me about an hour, just the job.

Tried this as my first venture into Cuban cigars for some years. Absolutely loved this cigar, found it to be completely enjoyable from start to finish. The wrapper had a beautiful oily texture to leave my lips feeling moist, whilst the medium strength flavour had a nutty quality. I sipped a bourbon alongside and complimented perfectly. Nice, easy draw, beautifully made with a nice and even burn and didn’t overheat. Can’t wait for my second experience of a Punch.

First let me thank Partagas so much for this unique cigar.
medium To full body, the draw, burn, and constrection are amazing. Varied bouquet of Flavors, aromas, and after tastes.. Such as grassy, earthy, Salt, citrus, spring, sun, barley leather, raw coffee, pink, leather, nuts, dark chocolate, raisin, and creamy smoke. I will make sure keeps a large number of these fancy sticks in my cigar humidors.
Thank you so much C.GARS , Michelle Adler for all excellent choices and services. ✨

Appearance, wonderful. Medium oily wrapper, drawing me in to a luxuriant experience. Had one of these babies, to quote an American euphemism, last night. Impossible to evaluate, due to non existent draw. Tonight, from the same box, a tad better, but still very, very tight on the draw. Half way down, it opened up to a point that it was almost enjoyable.
Smoking Habanos, of which I have a couple of hundred in my humidor, has now become hit and miss.
I believe that the people who can change this have become complacent, which, for the consumer is highly undesirable.
Now, down to the final third.Draw much better and wonderful Partagas flavours...very complex.
Plumes of smoke..just what is needed to reaffirm my belief in Havana cigars at present.
What could have been a great cigar is let down by by the employment of questionable rollers on site.
I guess I’ll have to continue to play Russian Roulette and hope that one day, my dream cigar will manifest itself.
