Is the blend of the Culebras independent to the roller?

[99call]

Never tried the Party Culebras, but have always been tempted. 

With the original concept being the rollers 'take home', I was wondering from those who have enjoyed these over the years. Do they have a standard blend, or are they effectively still freestyle blend wise??

I realise it would effectively make more work to have variety in the blend for Habanos, and its very unlikely, but do any people on the forum think it would be interesting to have what effectively be a 'Lucky Dip' cigar?

Of course they have a standard blend, and a very consistent one in my experience…

Agreed with this. Whenever I have split these with anyone they have always been impressed as they thought it was truly a gimmick only going in.

It is a blend unique to Culebras and I think they're one of best tasting production Partagas.

Agreed @BrightonCorgi.  I was surprised how much I like these.  And the packaging is so cool.  I love the little coffins the twisties come in.  Great for interesting storage after the cigars are gone.

Not sure why I don't smoke more of these, every one I've ever had has been great and I imagine they'll end up being discontinued soon (if they aren't already. The Culebras are a highly overlooked cigar!

Great cigar, but not the easiest to transport or smoke without frequent interruption from quizzical passers-by.

One of the added bonuses of this cigar is the reaction! One of the tastiest cigars I've smoked on my recent sojourns to the Island. Period.

I've never smoked one, maybe next time I'm on the island. I am assuming you split up the trifecta and smoke one curly cue at a time, right?

[finecigar]

They are mighty delicious I will agree with the others. My favorite partagas. My only complaint is I wish they lasted even longer

[gusto616]

I've always shared them with two friends. Hasn't happened in a while tho & I'm down to my last coffin.

I know, I didn't address the OP's question at all

You seriously think there is an other option?

Still bound they are not much wider than half the new sticks being released these days.

I've never actually looked at one in person, so I don't know the size for myself. CCW says a 39 ring, I am assuming per stick. So yes, that would be a tough fit, but not much tougher than the 70 and 80 rings cigars that seem to be popping up left and and right. Cuba can't constantly produce straight, unkinked cigars that aren't plugged on a regular basis. It amazes me that those twisted, pinched little buggers smoke at all. I'll try one (or three) when I get a chance.

[puromaniac]

Poor Partagas Culebras. Born pinched and deformed. Forced into a twisted existence. Pilloried by many. Its viscous smoke, its very essence, forced to negotiate multiple turns and challenges on its final journey. Yet against such odds it somehow still delivers on all counts. A paradox? Or just a puro of prodigious proportions that helps shape our love of CCs?

Great, one more for the must try list.  Intrigued...  "bartender, just keep that tab open...forever"

I think many smokers who have this cigar say the same thing!  The box I have was a birthday gift from my girlfriend.  I have one cigar every year around my birthday from that box.

Ok now I am interested...more.
