My favorite cigars of 2013 are as follows, The Partagas Series D No.4 is a superb cigar after a spell in your humidor, the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.1, fruity, woody this cigar has it all, The Romeo Churchill is as iconic as you can get and a fabulous smoke, As for smaller cigars The Cohiba Siglo I is the tops in build quality,taste and aroma, the Rafael Gonzalez Perlas and the Trinidad Reyes both taste very similar and are both excellent small cigars, and the Partagas Minis are a great tasty short smoke, To smoke a cigar is to invoke peace and friendship and good will to all.

The D4 is not a cigar for the faint hearted or the impatient this cigar needs respect and lots of TLC before it can be enjoyed to the full this is a cigar that cannot be really smoked strait out of the box on the day of delivery if you do it may be harsh and bitter it needs at least a month of rest in your humidor before the harshness and bitterness start to fade away and the true flavours of tobacco and spice start to shine through this is a cigar that the longer you leave them the better they become an aged D4 is one of the finest Robusto cigars in the world and a joy to behold.

This is an excellent Christmas present for the serious cigar smoker very good build quality and a hard wearing chrome finish telescopic portable cigar ashtray and cigar rest, forget dirty ashtrays when sitting outside pubs or restaurants this item is light and very functional and goes well with the Xikar chrome lighter in my review below

Just tried the Partagas brand (in this size) for the first time. Wow! What a cigar. Lots of creamy smoke and delicious, medium, sweet tobacco flavours, which lasted over an hour. Smooth smoke throughout. Had to relight twice but this was easily done and did not detract from what was a fantastic smoking experience.

I am really sad to say me and this particular vitola haven't really had a great relationship. After giving it 3 attempts I had to declare this one a 'one-to-forget' cigar. I have a lot of respect for Partagas and have given a few other vitolas the time of day to re-instate a love for one of the most recognisable brands. (SerieD5 Limited Ed & Serie PNo.2 have both been FANTASTIC!).
I'd definitely need some convincing about these. The tastes were too earthy, too harsh and a bit too bitter for me, in all 3 sticks. I've seen really great reviews of these cigars. This goes to show the true beauty of the cigar community, I love how everyones pallet takes to different notes and flavours and truly respect this highly popular cigar.
Thanks for reading,
