CigarmanTim Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Cigar Partagas Salomones Box Code LRE Jun09 Appearance Chocolate colored, colorado claro. Nice sheen throughout. A noticeable vein or two Construction Slightly soft and spongy Setting Very humid, overcast day in Ohio about 75 degrees. Very slight breeze. Drinking a Mojito Pre Draw/light Tight draw due to shaped foot, earthy/peaty taste 1ST Third Initially a tight draw, very woody taste with oak barrel bouquet. Reminds me of an 898v only gelded. The oak nose gives way to green hay. Very medium oaky body. Black/grey ash 2nd Third Solid medium body, Oak taste evolves to a straight woodiness. An earthy, mustiness on the nose. The flakey black/grey ash drops at 2.5 inches. At the end of this third the woodiness disappears and a musty peat body dominates. Final Third Wow. Talk about a complex cigar. Black pepper on the nose, sweet spicey taste with very slight hints of roasted coffee bean which morphs into a peat bog body. Rating and Thoughts I rate this 89 overall. A good cigar that changed throughout the night. 2 hours smoke time. I don't get the feeling these have legs. Smoke them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laficion Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Great review Tim,I've tasted quite a few Partagas Solomones from 08 and I must say that they were excellent, rich earthyness with a true Partagas flavour profi. Great leather and white pepper notes with fine coffee hints, well balanced . The 09's may need a bit of a rest before coming in on their own I loved your photos but I saw no MOJITO A small voice told me that you're getting good at it Ciao l'ami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
