Partagas Series D No. 5 newbie review.
In pitch black I torched this one pretty poorly which resulted in a canoe in the burn. That said the burn corrected itself well right to the end with no touch ups. The ash was really good and the cigar held up well throughout.
1st 3rd - Peppery to start and a little strong at first. Earthy, herby, dried fruit a lot like hot mulled wine.
2nd 3rd - a hint more pepper mulled wine with a hint of zest stayed background.
Final 3rd - got a little more earthy and punchy but the mulled wine taste remained. A bit of tobacco and tingle on the tastebuds at the very end.
Throughout this was smooth and creamy that felt like the film feeling youd have on the roof of your mouth and tongue as if youd savored a good desert like a creme brulee.
Really enjoyed and as close to a 10/10 as Ive had in cigar so far. Glad I bought a 10 box, will definitely come back to this and tempted to now consider a trying the D4 now.
