Back to the topic I am about halfway through the NC Partagas 160 I have to admit it's good . But not $36 -$40 a stick good.all I've gotten so far is pepper on top of pepper and strong cedar.it's like you infused a cedar stave with pepper and smoked it .the construction of the two different Partagas are pretty equal both are flawless.so far if both of these were the same price the Psd4 would rate 91-93 the NC Partagas 160 around an 86 for me .since they aren't the same price I would say the Psd4 is a 92 and the Partagas 160 is a solid 84. The fact that the Cuban Psd4 is 4 to 5 times cheaper and scores 8 points higher there is no contest. Would I smoke the NC P160 again? absolutely if it was free or cheaper. It's a pleasant smoke. If I was really comparing this to a Cc Partagas of a similar size like a party 898 or luci. The NC Partagas would have taken a bigger beating.
