Cigar: Partagas Tres Petit Coronas
Size: 116 mm x 40 ? Franciscano
Smoke time: 60 mins
Cigar box age: H&F aged 1998. Source http://www.mysmokingshop.co.uk
Notes:
1) This is an aged cigar and as such may be passed it?s halcyon days, but as it?s the first of these I?ve smoked I?ve no way of knowing.
2) If you prefer a sweeter edge to your cigars then this is NOT the smoke for you.
Appearance: Semi-rustic, slightly squared with the H&F age band applied beneath the branding band. A touch of green patching to the otherwise oily, rich brown wrapper with an occasional scar and surface vein.
Construction: Easy pre-light draw with a effortless smoking draw throughout. No problems burnwise. The ash remained well compacted and was the darkest I?ve yet seen on any Cuban (almost black). Two tap offs, one fall off. No re-lights and no corrections.
Flavour: The pre-light aroma was tobacco and earth. The flavour description on this cigar is short and simple. Earth and more earth. The flavour is very strong and just gets stronger as the smoke progresses. There was some sweetness, but very much as a back note. There was also a subtle saltiness and an occasional hint of spice. I, for myself, enjoyed the rich, deep earthiness of this cigar, I also liked the way in which the tobacco strength increased in parallel, but didn?t quite get to the pitch to knock me over. Excellent!
Overall: A quality cigar. Not the easiest to get hold of nowdays, but if you can, well worth the purchase if only to experience a now long gone Habano!
