El Presidente Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Partagas Maduro Number 1 ...Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down? Released in 2015, these have been out for a while and I am pretty sure there hasn't been a cigar that has divided the cuban cigar community quite so much I see a lot of feed back on them from "Love them" to "loathe them" and not too much in between. I always thought it a ballsy move by Habanos to release a maduro Partagas and it is too early to determine whether it is a commercial success, a commercial failure or whetherit will finish somewhere in between. Still, that is not the point of the question. do you like them? do you dislike them....let us know your thoughts in a little detail 1
Fugu Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 A clear from me Woody (oaky-woody), woody, woody with a little bit of moist dirt added. Nothing more. Lacking in complexity and evol. Nice makeup, overpriced.
hoyo74 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Like them very much I think it's an excellent version for Me when I want to get the taste of a short smoke in a Corona size Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
cns187 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 would love to try some, are you offering any prez?
HarveyBoulevard Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Very much liked the 1 I've had. I'm going to grab a couple boxes and see how they evolve or if they even do.
maverickdrinker Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Here are my thoughts. Wasn't too big on them at this stage... https://thedirtyashes.wordpress.com/2015/11/27/2015-partagas-muduro-no-1/ 2
suggs Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Here are my thoughts. Wasn't too big on them at this stage... https://thedirtyashes.wordpress.com/2015/11/27/2015-partagas-muduro-no-1/ Your review makes it sound like quite a few NCs I've had: no polish and all walloping.
alloy Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I bought a box from El Prez from a 24:24. At first, I thought they were a little harsh. Maybe cause I smoked one rott (idiot me). I've been through half a box and they are a lot better than that first one. I get cocoa, leather and earth now. I like them.
meatball41 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I've only had one but I enjoyed it. I got sort of a spice cake sweeter flavor along with leathery, toasty tobacco. It burned perfectly too, not a touch up or relight the whole smoke, nice relaxing experience for me. 1
Magpie Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Only had one, which I got from LCDH in Chester UK last summer. Very enjoyable, but I love everything Partagas.
Nrengle Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Here are my thoughts. Wasn't too big on them at this stage... https://thedirtyashes.wordpress.com/2015/11/27/2015-partagas-muduro-no-1/ Good review but a huge pet peeve of mine it's ESPRESSO not expresso. No such thing in the coffee world. Otherwise nice write up. 1
NapaNolan Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Good review but a huge pet peeve of mine it's ESPRESSO not expresso. No such thing in the coffee world. Otherwise nice write up. As an overweight person, food typos/misspellings bother me too 1
Fugu Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 As an overweight person, food typos/misspellings bother me too What bothers me much more, is that there is a growing crowd who thinks it were spelled Nespresso... 2
oliverdst Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 As it's a cigar review and not a coffee review I dont care. 4
JohnS Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I agree, it was a risky and yet courageous move to produce a Partagas cigar with a maduro wrapper. Personally, I can handle a 'change of pace' with a Cohiba Maduro 5 as I believe that flavour profile goes okay with a sweeter, chocolate/cocoa wrapper, but I question doing so with a cigar that has the Partagas flavour profile, which tends to be more full-bodied, with leather, toasted tobacco (or Earth) and pepper more prominent. I'm still open to trying them though as who knows as they age how they settle, flavourwise? On the other hand, put a Maduro wrapper on an H. Upmann cigar and I would be definitely more intrigued! 4
garbandz Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Good review but a huge pet peeve of mine it's ESPRESSO not expresso. No such thing in the coffee world. Otherwise nice write up. Listen, if we are going to start correcting misused words we will have no time for smoking,the net is rife with them........... 3
RDBM Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Have smoked a couple and have to say although I'm a Partagas fan, at the moment these aren't doing it. I reckon they'll only get better a couple of years down the line though.
cardinalfan85 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Only had one, I guess I'm in the middle. Didn't really like it but I didn't dislike it. That being said, I'd probably choose a different cigar 95% of the time.
Lotusguy Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I really wanted to hate them since I dislike all about the whole idea. I loved all three sticks I had. They are not a maduro in the NC sense, mind you. 3
billh1 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I picked up a fiver from Rob and have smoked two and given one away. I really enjoyed them and thought they tasted very much like the COHIBA Genios.
Hoepssa Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Typical Cuban maduro, if you like Genios much and this is it, cheaper version. If not... just pick some NC ones
ChanceSchmerr Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Ahhhh you don't want to know what I think LOL
Puros Y Vino Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I smoked one and enjoyed it. Not sure I'd go for a full box though. Will try a few more as the first one I had was a bit too "fresh". It had quite of bit of ammonia. Review here. 1
Strada Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Like Art and Frank, I had reviewed the original batch this summer but every since then we haven't had any back in stock... http://www.cubanhouseofcigars.com/partagas-maduro-no-1-review/
