Partagas Short GEO MAR 15 : Ode to the 40 and 42 gauge review week

[CatchNRelease]

This is my first review so bear with me. Still working on separating flavors unless they are in your face

 

Partagas Short paired with a Diet Coke enjoyed while grilling.

 

 

Clipped the end and the draw was perfect so I fired it up.

 

Opening: all wood with spice on the retrohale. Starts on the strong side of medium.

 

1st Half: smooths out quite a bit and it's straight on medium now. Waves of mild sweetness come and go and I'm getting bread notes but mostly wood and spice throughout.

 

 

2nd Half: the sweetness is gone now and it's all woody notes. Not entirely pleasant compared to the first half. I miss the small blasts of sweet I was getting. Didn't feel the need to nub this one.

 

 

Total smoke time about 30min. Just in time to preheat and grill dinner.

I do like those little sweet notes when they last the whole cigar. Make for a great smoke with a cappuccino.  Sorry it fizzled for ya, but I I've had about 75 of em over the years and I feel most keep the notes you prefer the whole time.
