Laphroaig Lore - 48% 70cl
by Steve
Very smoky but tasty a bit of sweetness but the hint of chilli removes some sweetness. A short finish but with flavours that linger

Incredibly smooth and sweet with a bit of spice, add a bit of water and these flavours will vary a bit

I smoked this cigar (or at least lit it) 6 hours ago. Im still not entirely sure how to review it but here goes:
Smoke time: 1 hour 58 minutes
Drank with: glenfiddich 12 year old
First impressions: rough wrapper, inconsistent packing but some shhen in the right light. Smelt good. Wrapper felt a bit loose/flakey. Also very dry.
Cut/draw: tough to cut and really tight draw. Cut some more off, still a tight draw. Didnt dare cut more off for fear of the wrapper peeling off. Draw very tight. Worrying.
First light: tough draw after a good minute if toasting. End lit well but very little smoke coming through.
1st third: sweet and woody notes. Very little smoke (apart from cherry end). Notice the wrapper is peeling off toward third 3rd. Very pleasant taste. Earthy notes coming through but mild.
2nd third: a bit more sweetness but it comes and goes. Cedar notes and something else coming through. Draw very slightly easing. Wrapper is not damaged anymore because Im being careful. Lots if smoke coming from cherry end . Still mild to medium.
3rd third. Becoming more full bo

One dimensional till the last third. Pleasant earthy and chocolate flavour for 2/3, nothing to exiting, consistent without become sweet or bitter.
In the last third
Medium draw with rich smoke.
I prefer get something more complex at a smaller ring gauge for the same price but I will definitely have some around if I fancy a bigger ring and Im looking for that flavour, overall not a bad experience.

Let me start by saying I love the Partagas brand. I had this in the evening after a good meal, with a glass of red wine. It lit well and I started to get those typical strong partagas flavours which I love, Leather, Earth, Pepper… and strong tobacco flavour, I would say at the end of the first third it was medium to full body… It starting tunnelling quite badly, the pack felt super hard, there was an uneven burn and it also kept going out. I did enjoy the flavour profile of this stick and I like the vitola size, it just needed a lot of nuturing in the form of re lights, re toasts and touch ups, which did take away from the experience of having the cigar itself. I tried smoking faster and slower to try and fix the problems with no avail. Perhaps I just got unlucky and just got a duff roll. I would try this again just to make sure as I rarely have construction issues with Partagas. Slightly disappointed.

Not sure if I trust what the site says about the dimensions of this cigar. If anyone knows the actual size could you leave a review with my name mentioned. Thank you.
