Jal154 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Would like to hear some opinions on the above. Came across a box of Mille Fleurs TOU Dec 17. Never tried a P Short. Flavors? Strength? The Mille Fleurs I have taste ok. Nothing spectacular. A bit of a “mongrel” in the last half. Good for a 40-45 minute smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 A kick up in richness, depth of flavour, a deep thick butterscotch core. A top level premium cigar in a small package. Nothing wrong with the MF, but they are just aiming lower and more rustic. Both great and both have their own time/place 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmbarton Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 If I had the choice to pick either Party Short or Mille Fleurs, I would be disappointed with myself for even debating it. Party Short. Every day, all day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nKostyan Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Aged will be great, like any Partagas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigsG Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm a big fan of Partagas. Second Cap Quintero's comments - IMHO the Shorts will blow you away. And they're so short, you'll finish the stick and want to light another immediately. Just an explosion of intense flavors. Also a shorter smoke than the MF, for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piligrim Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Shorts are amazing. smoked 2006 (50 slb), 2013 (12,13 box) and 2015 (50slb) this month. even 4 yo is very good, elder is better, so aging potential is great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rrm7284 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Not even close, shorts all the way. I like the MF, but the shorts are in a league of their own for the size format.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Party short is a great stick. I find myself grabbing one of these about half of my trips to the humidor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward7 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Partagas Short is a less complex but more punchy D4. A Mille is not as rounded but merely harsher than a short. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My box is from Dic 17. Will try the shorts soon. Just a plain simple smoke. Typical Cuban profile, with a dash of “rustic” in there as @CaptainQuintero said, I would not say harsh. As far as aging more, I probably will go through them over the summer. It’s just a quick morning smoke with coffee or a quickie in the afternoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends what you are aiming for I guess. They're not going to turn info Lusitanias no matter how long they sit. You'll probably see them soften out and become a tad sweeter/creamier from 5+ years if the other Mille Fleur/Brevas style Cubans are anything to go by 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
