Partagas Serie C No.3-Worth getting?

[dangolf18]

Are these ELs worth getting? What is a fair price?

God a few boxes of EL's from Czar in the mail today among which this was one. Touch underfilled from a quick glance. Lovely wood box, rich chocolatey aroma. Nice lookers overall.

Rob's got the fair price down pat, Dan.

Tried one of these in Havana. I find its like the Monte 520 in that its a great cigar but a touch too young still (slight ammonia).

I'm waiting for HSA to launch the P0 to get all the Star Wars fans into cigar smoking!!!

Boxes in Havana were cheap. About $97CUC. I've smoked one and really enjoyed it. It's a far better Partagas LE than the 2010 one. The Monte 520 is also a great cigar. Boxes in Havana were $140CUC.

I really enjoyed the one I smoked when I was in London in late October.

I would out the money to the 520s IMHO. Have tried different batches of all 3 ELsand would put the 520 first, then the party C3 and the h Upmann a distant third.

Good luck with your decision

I haven't tried any yet, will get around to it at some point next year, based on what some friends (who's taste buds I trust) have said they are something special that will age amazingly.

Great. Thanks for the help. Just ordered 2 boxes. Can't justify getting the 520 when the GE is still around at the price the 520 is going for in Cuba.

I haven't tried it either Dan, but I agree with your statement abouy the GE's. I have been stockpiling them as I find them. Very good smoke.
