Partagas Shorts AUM MAR 15 (PAWRC)

[MigsG]

Thank you @HopeUgood for sending me these great '15 Shorts!  I decided to have one for this Partagas Review weekend after a month rest.

These cigars have been in a Tupperdor registering 59-60RH on a constant basis. We've had some days of heavy humidity in Northern California but for the most part mid 50s RH.  A little dry boxing, and this cigar (I have a method for figuring out it's RH) was registering 58RH. Perfect condition for today's review.

Started out great, cedar, nutmeg and caramel. I'm guessing the coffee and earth have blended nicely to get to this caramel flavor. 

Age may have mellowed the flavors a bit but I can clearly taste them. 

Second third brings with it an earthy vanilla flavor. Caramel gone. Less sweet now. Almost floral.

Final third is not as great for me. Woody bark and buttery. I'm not going to nub this one. Maybe age has removed some of the flavor I find in younger examples.

Score: 85

Well done! I am a fan of the Party shorts, great for a quick smoke of high quality.

Definitely love the Shorts. I love these when it's cold out.
