SCgarman Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Looks like Partagas has jumped onto the US jawbreaker sized cigar fad joining the Cohiba Behikes. With a massive 54 ring by 5 and a half inches, how many robusto fans will try out a box? or a single? or whatever? Just curious!
Habanos2000 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I'm not a fan of such a large guage but I do enjoy most everything Partagas puts out there, so I'd at least give it a try.
Dbone Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I do enjoy the Partagas Marq. The only large ring gauge I've had that I really enjoyed, to where I would buy more, were the RJY Duke LE. So I guess there is reason for me to try these, but I probably wont. There's not much broke to fix, so I'm not ready to abandon the reliable in search of something better. I'm defiantly going to be interested to hear others experiences with this cigar though.
riazp Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 i'll defenitly give it a try, i'm hoping Rob will carry the box of 5 in his shop, seems like the perfect size box for this cigar. So yeah i,ll buy a box of 5 for sure, I love everything partagas. If i'm not mistaked this is essentially a Duke vitola no?
Lotusguy Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I'll buy a fiver for sure - love that they come in such a small box to try. I usually don't go for that thick ring gauge cigars anymore but what the heck...
tmac77 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Unlikely to try one unless gifted. Not a fan of larger ring gages
goalie204 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Unlikely to try one unless gifted. Not a fan of larger ring gages ditto
thechenman Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I'm a big Partagas fan, so I will definitely be giving the new E2 a try. Honestly, like many others here on FoH, I'm not a huge fan of the large rg cigars. However, I do like trying all the new cigars that come out. Experimentation is part of the enjoyment, at least for me, or smoking Habanos. Honestly, while the RyJ Wide Churchill was a jawbreaker, I really enjoyed it. Hope the E2 will be just as good, or even better...it could be more akin to the P1. That would be stellar.
CUBANO Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Don't smoke many cigars over 50 RG. But I will give it a try.
Colt45 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Of my own accord - doubtful. On someone else's dime - break out the wah guitar.
bassman Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 ditto Tritto- of course I'll never turn down a free cigar. Buying? No way.
Guest rob Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Of my own accord - doubtful. On someone else's dime - break out the wah guitar. My sentiments exactly!
bstarrs Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I'll probably go for one of the 5 ct boxes just to try it out. There's no harm in trying new things and I'm not really bothered by large ring gauge cigars. But the new release I really cannot wait to try out is the Upmann Half Corona.
CaptainQuintero Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Duke is half an inch longer, which is where this should be (maybe even a full inch) to justify the donkey c**k ring...Why can't Habanos SA, just bring forward some nice grand corona 46 ring cigars?! +1 If they are going to get down on their knees to the uberring crowd then at least balance it out for the crowd who enjoy more reasonable RGs
investandprosper Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Doubtful as well. 38 - 47 is my preferred range. I have Robustos in the humi but seldom reach for one. It might be because I've been having trouble with one side of my jaw for the last few months.
capnshazam Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I would try one the ring gauge is something that would put me off though. I liked the bhk 54 but that ring gauge is pretty much max for me.
Vortigan Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I'm not a fan of such a large guage but I do enjoy most everything Partagas puts out there, so I'd at least give it a try. Ditto this but 50 RG is usually as far as I like to go with "straight sided" sticks.
bstarrs Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 You guys think they'll be bringing out a 6 x 60 cigar in the near future? Seems to be the hot size with the NC companies. Largest ring I've smoked has been 52, 60 seems a little belligerent.
TankerT Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Depends on what the price point is, and what the reviews a few months from now are. I won't be in a rush to try one, if I ever get around to it.
baragh Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I'll probably go for one of the 5 ct boxes just to try it out. There's no harm in trying new things and I'm not really bothered by large ring gauge cigars. But the new release I really cannot wait to try out is the Upmann Half Corona. Also keen for the Upmann Half Corona! Hope they're not ridiculously priced.
j0z3r Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I like Partagas, so eventually I'll try it. I'm not put off by a 54 ring, though that is generally the largest I'll go. I enjoy trying new things, and this is a new thing.
maverickdrinker Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 would rather spend the money on the 2011 EL ramon allones or cohiba 1966s
