Partagas Lusitanias Cigar - 1 Single

Reviewed by Nathaniel Fandino ( October 2000)
A Flavorful Flagship As an avid cigar aficionado, special occasions have become even more meaningful with the inclusion of a cigar with close friends and relatives. In this particular case, we were celebrating the birth and baptism of my son, Sebastian Augusto (Sebi for short). What better occasion to smoke the Partagas Lusitanias I had received from C.GARS Ltd was the thought that went through my mind. After dinner of garden salad, Angus Roast Beef, paella and ratatouille, my friends and I were seated around the lanai enjoying the warm, tropical, night air. In the corner of the lanai, my favorite, teakwood, lounge chair beckoned. After distributing Cohiba Esplendidos and Romeo Y Julietas Churchill Tubos to the rest, I settled down with my Lusitanias.
Excellent specimens that they were, the garden lights showed off the oily sheen of their smooth, dark colorado wrappers, just a few shades from maduro and veined ever so slightly. Accented by an elegant red and gold cigar band, it felt like a sin to cut it. Satiny and supple to the tou

Partagas Lusitania Becomes Alaskan Ash.....
The real danger in exposing yourself to the pleasures of smoking fine cigars is the potential for disappointment. Let me explain:
Cigars are like wine and other organic products made by hand. When they are wonderful, the memory sticks. But there are occasions when they disappoint. Several times over the years I've saved a special cigar for just the right occasion, only to fire it up and find it plugged or bitter. I imagine wine connoisseurs endure the same risks in order to find their perfect pleasure.
These were the thoughts going through my mind as I was packing my travel humidor for my upcoming trip to Alaska. I was looking at the Partagas Lustitania that had been sitting there waiting for its perfect time. It was a gift from my good friend, Bob, who got it in London from Smokeymo—I had given Bob my best information on where to find cigars on his trip, and he was quite pleased with what he found there.

Peterson Irish Flake Pipe Tobacco 50g Tin
by jeffrey
Nothing really "Irish" about this,but it is a indistinguishable analog to Rattray's Stirling Flake.Full bodied,flavoursome,a little hard to rub out,folding may be more suitable a method,but a lovely presentation,tasty,and not a bad room note.I suggest a little drying out,but one of those I always come back to,it draws me irresitably.Far better than the Erinmore,which actually WAS Irish,once upon a time,but has lost something with the new manufacturer.A sad loss,the old Erinmore,now a bit too licoricy(is that a word?)for my nostalgic remembrances.This will do nicely,however non Irish it may be!

lovely cigar with cream and light spice flavours down to the third third when a hint of cedar pops in.
