Partagas Lusitanias 2010 (47+RW)

[joeypots]

This  was the last cigar from a half  a fifty cabinet I had. It had a knot in the foot and after I cut it and checked the draw I gave it a short ream with my draw poker and lit up.   DCs can be tricksters because they are long and fat. Yes, 50 RG is a fat cigar in my book. It take times for the cigar to warm up and really get going and once this one hit it's stride it was pretty damn good. Smooth as silk like one would expect from a ten year old cigar it hd that lovely Partagas spice. It may have been a bit muted because I had it in my desk top for years intending to smoke it but never finding the opportunity. I retrohaled this one right to the nub. The burn was straight for the first half and needed a few touch ups at the end. I put it down after about two hours and 15 minutes and though that for such a smooth cigar I had a pretty good cigar buzz going.  This cigar would have benefited from better storage. Being in the desk top humidor exposed to fresh air three or four times a week for years probably diminished the overall smoking experience.  I store my cigars in the boxes they come in and often put the last few in tubes or other boxes when I get down to the last few. I find that most Cuban cigars suit me at about the five year mark on and wether they benefit from more age is a toss up. This one was in decline. I'll give it 3 stars.233B6DF3-60C6-42C9-85CD-003992C26818.heic

Thanks for this write up. I have a few of these on the way - they have been on my list to try for awhile. What does 47+RW mean in the title?
