Partagas Maduro No. 1 Cigar - 1 Single
by Maximilian
A great WHAM of flavours!
This was recommended to me as during conversation I mentioned I enjoyed a cigar with a darker wrapper and as it was fairly new he showed me this.
In the first third, i found typical partagas flavours, then along came the sweet flavour of a Maduro wrapper (put a smile on my face) the sweetness soon turned in to chocolate and stayed for a while.
Second third the sweetness left and and turned much more piney, which then quickly turned much more savoury with a hint of sweet barbeque.
Then hitting the final third and I was punched in the mouth by what suprised me - a long lasting, beautifully tasting aniseed. From this point I really, really, didn't want the cigar to end. A very sweet taste on the lips and light pepper taste on the tip of my tongue. 5 stars.
Throughout the smoke, a very easy draw-starting off a little too easy but quickly balancing perfectly- and excellent, consistent burn! A hell of a lot of beautifully creamy smoke.
When in store, I bought two, one for now and one for in a few months, but after what i can't describe as anything

Not my first cigar but my first big purchase and a very nice cigar it is. The box is well sealed nice presentation very good condition. The cigar is a mellow smooth smoke that lasts between 20 to 40 minutes. I like a cool smoke and this cigar is as cool as you like right up to the band. Very happy with my first significant purchase perhaps a humidor next and then a collection of fine cigars to make the summer evenings in Surrey even more pleasurable. Excellent service from CGars. Thank you for this experience.
Regards

A good looking cigar, well made, firm with a tinge of honey aroma and alot of saltyness on the lips pre lighting.
Once lit it is extremely peppery and much stronger than anticipated, if not harsh to the palette. The mild aroma of honey is non existent in the actual flavour, which is a little dissapointing. However, the harshness and pepperyness on the palette is still very evident, if not overwhelming. This continues until the end with no real diversion in flavour, other than a little bitterness.
In my opinion a very straight forward cigar with little or no complexity and progression. A Courvoisier VS.

As a lover of partagas cigars particularly the petit coronas especial,I decided it was time to revisit the sd4 which I always respect as it is big in flavour and nicotine,however I feel that these cigars are starting to suffer the same fate as the Monte no2 and no4,they are so inconsistent these days. Its true that you will still get a real good one most of the time but the bad ones taste cheap,the demand for these is definitely affecting the quality

This is the cigar that the Partagas range has been crying out for! When time is short and you don't have time to enjoy a PSD4, this delicious little stick saves the day. The draw is slightly tighter than I usually prefer but still gives off plenty of thick smoke. Rich and strong tobacco flavours with very little sweetness, definitely a smoke for later in the day. This is a fantastic cigar if you are someone who likes your coffee strong and black, a real finger burner that leaves you wanting more and wishing you had the time for something larger!
