Partagas Presidentes Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
Seems that I am the only one to have something nice to say about this Cigar.
Let us talk about the Shape it's a blast from the past a shape that was very common during the 19th century and probably the only sort of shape you could get until around the 1930s.
Construction was Fine from what I expected from a Double Figurado.
Having cut the end I began to light with a Match as it seemed the right thing to do for such a Classic Shape from a Bygone Age.
Accompanying the Cigar I had a Glass of Bulleit Bourbon (I know Bourbon is shunned by a lot of Whisky aficionados but I find it wonderful for sipping with Cigars) The two Flavours of the Cigar and the Bourbon were a match made in heaven! The Strong Partagas Flavours that we've all grown to love married with the smokey Mellow Taste of the Bourbon.
The Ash held Surprisingly well for a Double Figurado and the burn itself was more or less even!
Overall If you would like a nice trip back in time by all means give this Cigar a try it is wonderful and the aroma from what my peers around me said it was utterly delightful!

As with Thomas really spongy construction constantly going out. Not much taste either.

After visiting the Yarmouth branch asking for large ring gauge cigars...
What a little gem! For the price you really can’t argue with this cigar. Even burn all the way through, started off really smooth, subtle flavours of coffee. Further into the cigar, well... what a surprise! Half way through and all of the flavour came out!
All in all a good 1-1:30 hours smoke. I WILL definitely be buying these again!

I have probably smoked over a hundred of these and have experimented at storing them at different humidity levels. I find At 70 they are rubbish and tasteless at 65 it turns into a different cigar all together 65 brings out all the flavours. I have found them a good mid morning cigar, very consistent well constructed and I have found them to burn evenly but Im very experienced and careful with lighting a cigar. I use the heat from a jet flame lighter about half inch away from the flame I do not put the flame near the cigar until the cigar is ready to go.

You never know with a new order, so this was trading on reputation. However it is a winner, with a steady smoke, lasting almost an hour if smoked in a relaxing manner (is here any other?). Plenty of taste, well behaved and even-burning - keep it from getting too hot by being gentle, and the return is fragrant smoke, a gentle pull and a burn until your fingers are threatened. To get right down to a tiny butt is a compliment to structure and design. Take care when snipping to start - just the end bit. Packing is quite tight, but snip too much and the wrapper is at risk of unravelling. This is quite the best value and most relaxingly enjoyable smoke Ive had from Turmeaux. Its worth sitting the entire smoke to enjoy this consistent and well made product. Splendid.

The Siglo VI is my go to special occasion cigar but the length of them means they take a reasonable chunk of time to smoke. Great if you are herfing with a few others not it you are after an hour in the evening.
That’s where this little guy comes in. The gauge means an even and smooth smoke with the typical cohiba burn quality and flavour profile. The length means you can have one in the evening and still get to sleep before 2am.
Great cigar and will be going in my regular drawer in the humidor.
