    Partagas 898 question

    Okay, I want thoughts and opinions please on the Partagas 898 Varnished and Unvarnished. How do you think they differ? As far as I know all they have in common is part of the name but I want to know peoples thoughts as it is one of the Partagas range I know relatively little about.

    Cheers.

        Just had a varnished or two recently so had a quite fresh opinion on them, right, I thought I'll dig out that 90's box of unvarnished, see if the've got any better; can I find them: can I?

            The 898 unvarnished - the smaller of the two, a corona grande - is mild for a Partagas, more rustic, much less complex, much less interesting than the 898v IMO. It's discontinued and I really don't miss it.

                I've only ever had the unv. I've got a box from 97 and they are stonkingly good. Loads of cedar and leather.

                  I've not tried the unvarnished, but that appears to be the approximate consensus of opinion, from what I've heard/read/seen.

                  I'm about halfway through a '98 box of varnished that I've had for 5 or 6 years. I keep thinking they're going to come good one of these days, but they've never done it for me (nor infact did any of the singles I'd had prior) like the P2's, Lusi's or D4's that I've recently smoked.

                  My brother raves about them though - so it really is just down to personal taste. Maybe I should try one again soon, as I do seem to be back on better terms with the Partagas style than I have been for a few years.

                    Only ever tried the varnished box, although I would not have thought there would be too much difference taste wise.

                      Hmm. Deano tried the unvarnished and loved it, I regret passing up the chance now.

                        Just bought yet another box of 8-9-8 (varnished box) only a year old but very tasty and will only get better.
                        Yummy.
