Partagas Short ULA MAR 15 : Cigar and drink review comp

[Akela3rd]

If ever there was a cigar designed to go with a straight black coffee it's the Party Short. In this case the cigar is a PSP with three and a half years on it and the coffee is a Nespresso Ristretto decaf lungo.
The Short is as good as ever - this box has been stellar and I've only got a couple left. Fortunately I bought two boxes of this code so there's plenty waiting for me still. Coffee and sourdough bread are the descriptions given by Rob and unsurprisingly he's bang on the money. Black coffee at the forefront with a more subtle doughy backnote lilting in and out. The coffee's good for a decaf (too close to bedtime for full fat) and the only decaf we'll have in the house. It matches the cigar perfectly with a strong smooth flavour and a sharp finish. As the cigar smokes down a sweetness develops, like a small spoon of molasses added to a much needed Joe on a cold day. And it is cold tonight, but my Contigo mug keeps the decaf hot for the required 40 minutes. There was a thread doing the rounds not so long back on the best cigar accessory and I think I nominated the Contigo, it's that good.
Not a lot more to say - coffee and cigars for the non-drinkers among us, it's a winner every time.

Totally agree with you on the partnership shared between Party shorts and black coffee.

I second this. I tried a party short with coffee last weekend. It went very well. Great pairing. Great review! Thank you for posting @Akela3rd !!
