PARTAGAS serie E no2 ?? 18 (PRW)

[DaBoot]

First review and First for the E no 2... purchased this as a single in Nov 18 from site. Let’s get into it!!    

Impression is WOW !! Been a while since smoking a RG over 50, construction seems legit, feel is perfect, not tight, not squishy. Excitement is building....

light up:: Flavor intensity is high,complex, leather, cream, bread dough.baking spice.. all are equally coating my tongue and lips with each draw. 

1st third: same flavor continuation, body is staying medium to me, but the flavor bomb remains.cigar is demanding my attention, brought my book out, haven’t opened it yet.

2nd third: starting with the ash still intact, creaminess is picking up, adding a slight coffee hint. Leather  and earth flavor is taking center stage, remembering a D no5 I smoked last week, no comparison to this stick in my hands.Gust of wind blows by, there goes my ash at the 1/2 way point. Book covers stay closed. Enjoying this journey.

the finale: Body has moved up a bit, still say for me upper end of medium pushing full.... Sourdough comes blasting in!! Haha!! with a little more intense coffee, something...light fresh cinnamon hiding in the background. Just amazing so far.. bringing thoughts of a 5 pack I have in the humi from last month and when I can enjoy a smoke like this again. Simply stunning cigar. My palate has been coated with the cool, clean smoke the entire time. 

Draw: perfect to me, not to airy, not tight at all.

Construction: flawless!! For slight breeze here, held up impeccably 

score: 95

Yours appear much darker than mine.  (I know there's a joke in here somewhere).

Lighting or camera setting?
