Partagas Shorts Cigar - 1 Single
by Staff
Another regular favourite of mine! For such a small cigar it is absolutely packed with flavour from the very beginning. There isn't as much flavour development as you would find in a longer cigar, but it remains consistently tasty with the classically earthy, rich and sweet Partagas flavour throughout. They can occasionally have a slightly firm draw, but nothing that would impede your enjoyment in any major way. The main reason I always return to these is the amount of flavour (and satisfaction!) they can deliver in roughly 20 mins.. I've spent hours smoking Churchill/Double Corona sized cigars that don't have half the flavour of one of these bad boys! Ideal for when you don't have as much time for a smoke, but don't want to be left still wanting more! -Calum, Turmeaus Chester

Just smoked one of these straight from the pack. What a surprise! The draw was a little firm to start, with spice dominant. After an inch or so the draw loosened and the flavor burst through. A really nice, mellow smoke, the flavors developing all the way down. A flawless burn. I'm going to see what a little aging does for the rest of the pack. Incredible value for money.

I love full bodied robustos, so it's no surprise that this a huge favourite for me! From the first touch of flame it gives off sweet and powerful cocoa flavours with occasional hints of aniseed. The second and final thirds remain sweet and smooth while developing leather and spice undertones. The aniseed notes from the first third remain prominent in the finish. If you also like powerful, heavy gauge cigars I'd strongly recommend trying one of these. They're particularly popular with fans of the classic Partagas Serie D No.4 who fancy a bit of a change. -Calum, Turmeuas Chester

This mixture is specially designed for those who enjoy smoking their pipe contuniously throughout the day,
The fragrance and charm of this mixture is never lost whilst smoking.
This tobacco is very similar in quality and grade to Rattray's Red Rapparee however with a slight difference in the blend to accomodate the continuous smoker.
This is a perfect companion to a fastidious smoker.

This was one of the first pipe tobacco blends I ever tried and I find myself returning to it again and again. I find it to be the ideal balance of aromatic and natural tobacco flavours. It can occasionally be slightly sharp when first lit, but very quickly settles down into a wonderfully mellow smoke, giving notes of honey, nut and chocolate with a delicate room aroma. This is an ideal smoke for people who are looking for a sweet aromatic blend, but find the American style aromatics to be too heavily scented. Also very well suited for beginners, or as an early morning smoke as it is very forgiving on the palate. -Calum, Turmeaus Chester.
