Partagas Serie E No 2 - Unknown (PRW)

[sho671]

I picked up a few of these singles at the LCDH Habana Libre last year and forgot to check the box code. The cigar drew well and smoke production was on the lighter side, but still good. Burned very well. Unfortunately the cigar rolled off the table right before I lit it and ended up cracking the wrapper around the head. The band kept the wrapper from unraveling up until I took it off (hence the last picture). Again my palate isn't great with nuanced flavors so I won't lie and say I tasted this or that. I've read that the wrapper imparts a significant amount of flavor to a cigar and I'm somewhat inclined to believe it after smoking the last third with no wrapper. The cigar ended with a little more bitterness than the first 2/3, though it may just be the last third being relatively more pungent as I have experienced with most cigars. Overall, even though the wrapper mishap, the smoke was enjoyable. A 1 on my 0/1 scale.
