Partagas series P no 2 MGL MAY 20 (MRDRW)

[dominattorney]

Been just slamming through this box young. Every example so far superb. 

Mixed it up with a v cut on this one. Draw is snug, yet open. Pre light aroma of moist hay and tobbaco. First third is bread sourdough goodness. Perfect burn too. 

Maybe I'm not paying attention as much as I should be but this example seems a bit dull compared with others I've had. Still reliable partagas sourdough and forest floor flavors, but missing the zing of uniqueness I was hoping for. Second third picks it up a bit. More paprika, spice, and musty wet mushroom flavor. 

Nubbed it, as you can see. Toward the middle of the final third the intensity just showed up out of nowhere and this guy finished off superbly with the musky forest floor/mushroom and sourdough flavors that I've come to expect from this dependable box of cigars.
