An old Partagas 898
Just to spite xrundog I pulled one of these out for my Lancero November (yeah, so it’s more of a panatella). Awesome EMS wrapper, perfect bunch and aromas of heaven itself. Absolutely perfect cold draw as well. Enjoying with a Stone Xocoveza Stout. The initial draws remind me why I used to only smoke Cubans. Also, the perfect burn and ash. I am really glad that I dug through my older stash and found this. During the first third I hate to do it but the flavors are indescribably Cuban. Leather and spices with a solid dose of whatever it is that sets Cuban tobacco apart from even the best Nicaraguan. I was once told that it is a result of the amount of lithium in the Cuban soil. During the second third a wonderful spice, more cinnamon than pepper, develops in the retrohale. A bit of cedar adds to the complexity of the smoke. The burn continues to be perfect and the ash is solid although dropping off every inch or so. Approaching the final inch I want this cigar to never end. Rich pleasant smoke that remains cool with flavors that just don’t quit. A perfect burn throughout and perfect construction make this one for the ages. Joe Bob hates to do this to you, but this cigar easily earns a 10/10. Check this one out if you can find one. Nubbed it.
