Partagas Serie Du Connaisseur No.3 POS MAY06

[Colt45]

Just some brief tasting notes:

Immediately opens with sweet spices and sandalwood. Rich, with a "creamy" smoothness which reminded me of of a cappuccino made with Italian coffee

I had this past weekend. Some tinges of fruit. First half maintained these flavors.

In the second half, a real earthy kick comes to the fore. Some hints of amaretto. The earthiness subudues some of the earlier smooth qualities (not in a bad way).

I truly enjoy these cigars.

My real lament with these is that some members may never be able to try them. I don't care if Habanos ever bring these back - I just hope someone does

Chuck, Jack......

One of the greatest small-format cigars ever rolled. I love 'em.

Well said Ross. I'm very happy I've got a decent amount of these from early 06 they are real gems. I completely agree on the amaretto note and they are so damn consistently good.

Thanks for the review Colt.

Brings back great memories.

Had a box of these a while back.

One of my favorites at a time when I was still finding out what I liked.

I also lament the loss of a great smoke.
