Partagas Maduro No. 1 TUA DIC 19 (PRW)

  The wife is not too fond of my cigar habit. I handed her this stick and asked her to smell it. She immediately picked out a cherry note. Indeed the foot had a nice dark chocolate cherry note. This is of course intertwined with a rich tobacco aroma which she also noted with disgust! It is a beautiful summer night here in Michigan. Let's put this to flame for the FOH family.
1/3
  No dilly dallying here. First draws are quite rich. Chocolate notes are full bore. Notes of rich French roast blend in quite well. This is a nice smoke.

2/3.
The notes of chocolate intensify. I haven't picked up the cherry I was hoping for. There is a subtle sweetness. Maybe with some age the cherry will appear.

Final 3rd
I have to say I stopped paying attention to the smoke. My wife and I got deep into a discussion about the nature of human beings and the state of current affairs. We got lost in our conversation. That was so much greater than any cigar flavor I could pick out.

Score 97
Beautiful cigar the type that can lead to conversations and good times. I feel so fortunate to be here.
*I did dry box this cigar using Rob's fridge method. That really did seem to help.*
