Partagas 8-9-8 Varnished - ERO NOV 09

[asmith]

I am very worried about Rob and this cigar

[jfire]

Same box code, month and year in the humi. With out a doubt one of the best boxes in the humi right now. Little bit of habanos pixie dust sprinkled in these boxes imo. Nice review gents.

Cao Ila is an excellent Islay Sigle Malt.

Rob, come on. Say it, the 898V is "THA BOMB!"

[PLUSH]

I'm expecting Rob to take this cigar and a box of tissues and head off to a room by himself

[CBL]

Hahaha pissing off of the deck again

Finally had my first last month (an '08) and gonna get a box of 10 in the coming days. Great review!

Ken was on fire with this one.

This is the cigar against which all Partagas vitolas are measured.

This is the cigar against which all Dalias are measured.

I too have the same box code and month. Outstanding smoke. Slowly working through it. More slowly than most...cause I know these are a winner..(just like Charlie Sheen)

I think I saw Ken blush when he was given the option of Sex or an 898. But Ken got Rob back by pushing record when Rob was watering the vegetation. Good work as usual gentlemen!

[mazolaman]

Great review,of a classic Cuban cigar.

Nice drop of whisky too.

Islay is pronounced eyeler.

Do Kenny's neighbours not get "pissed off" with the balcony toilet routine?

[aavkk]

o man, looking forward to indulging in a few of these. Rob, please resist turning the rest of that box to ash for at least the next 5 days.

[Omskakas]

I smoked 898V from 09 earlier this week.

Delicious!

[ckearns]

Great review as always and it was nice to see you pairing a cigar and scotch together for a change (btw, Islay is pronounced 'Eye-La'). Cheers guys!

[El Presidente]

If anyone has a doubt...I love that cigar

[riderpride]

Defiling the garden, or finishing up on his love-fest with the 898. I'm surprised you were able to walk Prez!

[jmasterj]

I'm waiting for my PSP box of 898s Rob. I hope Lisa passed on the message. You're not smoking them in this video are you?

[Habanos2000]

I picked up a 10 ct box of 898's last year for the first time and fell in love with them right away. I have another box sitting in my humidor, I've only had one of them so far, and again, they don't disappoint! Love this cigar!

Great cigar !!

[OZCUBAN]

One could say the "Mrs Robinson" of cigars

[SamuraiJack]

"eye-luh"

You mean 3-4-3s right?

[thechenman]

Ah...one of the best Habanos in production and my favorite cigar in the Partagas marca. Sometimes the Lusi gets close though.

[cgarner]

I've been dieing to pick up a box, but 2 weddings, one wedding anniversary, and one large vacation has drained by budget. Next year maybe.

[mazolaman]

so,take your pick from the three potential pronunciations of Islay......

[frenchkiwi]

good banter.

always interested to hear %seco ligero volado.

got a box of these from '05 and its like someone forgot the ligero. haven't tried them in a couple of years though.

most of all, i must side with Rob here on the pissing off the balcony. I love doing it myself, generally in the middle of the night after a good cigar...

Oh the Freedom, the Joy, of Pissing on the World from on High.

(and the thrills when you hear late night revellers about to walk past your house and have to zip it without injury ha ha).

For the 1000th time...

Kens guest bathroom is currently blocked by a cardboard formation which rivals the Great Wall of China in scale.

I am not permitted to use his ensuite. Left with little choice unless I carry a jar
