bassman Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'm at the stage of my cigar smoking that I generally won't buy a box of regular production cigars that I haven't tried. But if it's a discontinued cigar, all bets are off. January 2009 I bought a box of Partagas TPCs from ENE 99. Never even heard of them let alone tried them. Guess what? Loved them. Better than the Shorts. Wound up buying five boxes. This January it's Partagas Charlottes. Again, never heard of them. But a box from FPG OLSU arrived today. They look fantastic. Taste? Check back in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check back in a couple weeks. Great find, Pärtagas , MAY 1998 I use to smoke the Charlottes all the time before they discontinued them. They were great coronas , this way you'll have the chance to taste the old " EL Corojo" wrapper that isn't grown anymore Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa1257 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 The Charlotte is a great cigar. Nice find, haven't seen them in a while. I do not think that you will be disappointed. If so, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachcougar Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 This is the cigar I currently have the most boxes of in my inventory. You will not be disappointed. Very rich flavor full flavor. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobLobLaw Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Very nice Bassman, I also picked up two boxes of the '98 Charlottes sight unseen based on my love of everything partagas and the rave reviews. Looking forward to firing the first one up after they sit for a month or so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Certainly will let them sit a while. While fresh cigars usually are not bad "off the truck", aged stuff really does benefit from time to settle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
