PuroDan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 People are gonna think im crazy. I love all partagas young. An old school style Cuban in your face flavor. I try to smoke as slow as possible. Sometimes the are a little acrid,(just a few puffs) but I fight through it. I also enjoy most Boli's young. The cedar notes on a young D4 are incredible.

cassius Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Love these. I chose fresh cause I actually never had an aged one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunod Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I have a 50 cab, and I'm not overwhelmed. Ive had the box about a year and have only smoked 4. By the time I finish the box it will be about 5 years, so I will see how they develop ove that time . I would assume most people blow thru the boxes quickly. Not many are aging them.

stunod Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I like them with a bit of age on it - no less then 2 years. Lol... didn't read your post until I hit send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I've enjoyed these without age on them so far. However, I wouldn't discount an improvement if aged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcgowen76 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Just ordered my first box... Great review as I've heard nothing but good things about this cigar.. Till then! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackattack Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Super little stick right out of the mailbox. I've smoked thru 5-6 boxes from 08'-13' and all were remarkably consistent. No issues with burn, draw or soft spots. The flavor is wood, spice and earthy tobacco...powerful little 30-40 minute smoke. Great morning sick with a strong cup of Italian roast coffee. At a sub $5 price point, one of, if not, the best value CC's out there IMHO. Sorry, I've never had one survive to reach the 2-3 year threshold....I blow thru them like Grant thru Richmond....

squizz Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I would say fresh, to me a cigar of this size and price point isn't really worth aging for a long period of time. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixa Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I would say fresh, to me a cigar of this size and price point isn't really worth aging for a long period of time. IMHO. For me it's more the way a cigar tastes from the age than price and size. Party shorts is one I prefer with a bit of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easttide Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I bought a 50 cab of PSP's from RAE JUN 15. They are nearly perfect with heavy bloom. They have a heavy, very fresh barnyard smell with some ammonia- the most powerful smell of any box I have currently. After a one month rest I tried my first one and quite frankly, it was tough to finish. Just too over the top with burnt hair and burnt espresso. My palate was slightly off due to coming down with a stomach bug, but I think I'll give it at least until June to revisit. My .02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box of Party 8-9-8's from TOR Sept 15 had quite a bit of white stuff on there too. You'd have to ask Robs opinion because I'm no expert. Just white dusty stuff.

Easttide Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Realized how off my palate was and this thread made me curious so round two today resulted in a much more enjoyable hour. Still a little bitter and green for my liking, but very easily nubbed. Fantastic urn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphanator Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 This is another cigar I had back luck on with bad draw. Looks like I'll be putting these on the to buy list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 2 years might be excessive before diving into these, but I have an AGO 15 box that is simply awful due to youth. They do turn around, but before they do, look out! This cigar definitely seems to go through a sick period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I put "Revisit: Fall" on my inventory spreadsheet. I almost always try a cigar upon receiving a box, unless I already have one from a similar code open that I'm smoking through. If I were you, I would try one. Maybe drybox it for a week or so. They have all the hallmarks of an excellent P Short, but the youth was just overpowering. If there is one thing I do know about these, is that they lose their youth rather quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
