Partagas Short 2013 box : ode to the 40 and 42 gauge review week

[Cmelle]

This is my last one from a 2013 box. I cant't remember the box code as i moved this to my singles humidor a while ago when i had around 5 left in the box.

This has been stored at around 63-65%rh, and I really think these benefit a lot from the lower humidity.

I've never smoked one with more age on it than this, but this one was impressive. The flavours were rich and sharp. They were right in your face.

Started out with a real nice coffee, slight earth and some twangyness . Gorgeous opening.

Midway came a nice leather, and I'm not a fan of leather but this was just so good. Leather, coffee, and some of that beautiful Partagas spice. Unreal. Flavours are so sharp.

Finished out smooth. No rough edges. Some notes of cocoa, cedar and toasty bread also showed up. So enjoyable.

There was a recent thread about a reset cigar. This is one of mine. I need to get my hands on another box now that this was my last one.
