Partagas Petite Robusto LCDH Sampler LAT ABR 19 (VVRW#1)

[SpecialK]

Tried my first Partagas in my CC Journey from a LCDH Sampler and I'm impressed. Not used to the flavor profile but really enjoyed it.. It had that Sour Dough twang and a sweet woodiness that was really enjoyable.

Drink : Shofferhofer Pomegranite Heff ( sounds like a good idea but not quite what I was expecting, I enjoy the Grapefruit Heff much more.) 

Cold Draw: very easy and had hints of hay and barnyard

Construction and Burn: Cigar wasn't very attractive and the burn was kind of a sh!tshow.. but I always blame my lighting skills..

Smoke time: 45 minutes

1/3: Mild to medium strength, with tastes of grass, leather, baking spices, and wood

2/3: Medium strength , with a creaminess on the palate and a sourdough or sweet sour cream along with cedar added.

3/3: Still medium strength with the sourdough/sweet sourness with earth

Score 4/5 Even with the Burn needing constant correction. I really enjoyed this, even if its not the flavor profile I enjoy on a regular basis (I'm a RASS fan and enjoy the stewed fruit profile most of the time) . I will be on the lookout for this marca on 24:24 in the future.. I have to say I'm really enjoying my CC journey and enjoying my time here on FOH !

Does a petit robusto count as a robusto?

No. Technically any 50 RG under 124mm is considered a "Petit Robusto" in common name. 

Edmundos however are considered Robustos while the 5mm longer Genios are considered Robustos Extra.

I have also seen many old cigar books refer to Hermosos No. 4 as a Robusto.
