Just burned a 'Partagas Black Label Crystal'

[JayGibson]

Not a bad cigar, it has a certain amount of 'oomph'. . . not too expensive and aesthetically pleasing

[kingcohiba]

gonna have to give those another whirl! had one years ago but cant remember whether or not i liked it or not! the one dominican partagas i do know that i like is the spanish rosado, thats a pretty good smoke.

I've had some Partagas, but not this one yet...

I like the Partagas Black very much. Prefer the Magnifico vitola (6.0" x 54) but most others smoke the same. Impeccable construction with a strong cap and thick oily wrapper. It has a no fuss burn, starts out smooth and gradually gets up to a full power crescendo mid smoke and holds that note to the nub. Consistent from first stick out of the box to the very last. $5-$7 retail with deals to be had for just over $3/stick it really is a great smoke IMHO.

Had one of these at my favorite cigar tavern a while back, ran out and bought myself a box. Ran just under $4 a stick and I haven't regretted a single penny or a single puff. This is a very nice, no-nonsense cigar. Good looking, almost black with a great burn, lurvely aroma, and a nice full-bodied flavo(u)r.

I use to love these until Don Pepin took the cigar industry by storm. Now I will have to revisit the originals that Ive stashed for days like these ! I can remember when The Partagas Black was the strongest cigar on the market! And the flavor profile was second to non. My how times have changed ! But theres always room for a pinch hitter in my rotation. Will revisit them when I have time LMAO ROTF thats all I seem to have lately !:biggrin1:

Partagas is one of my fav cigars, dont think ive seen the 'Partagas Black Label Crystal' wouldnt mind giving this one a try, you say there not expensive, how NOT expensive are you saying? less than a tenner or more? :eek:

I had a HUGE Excalibur recently that was really quite a good smoke! Ususally, I wouldn't go near cigars that size, but it was quite good. I didn't find it strong, more on the medium side and certainly not as strong as a Boli.

Also was my first non Cuban Parti!

[celsis]

Ooops, pardon me. Excalibur 1066 isn't a Parti, it's a NC Hoyo!

Excalibur 1066 taste similary to Partagas Black
