Partagas MF UEB MAR 2019 (VVRW#2)

[Çnote]

A mate pushed this and a 10ct of the same in my hands after watching some of the Mahsters this weekend, so it's been on deck anyway and lo and behold it's a PC! I know it ROTT, but he'd already had 3, so they can't be too bad

This starts off with a nice Graham cracker and baking spice, I can't tell if its the MF or the ROTT that is potentially muting flavors, I'd hope for a little more oomph. It's a notch down from a Party Short right now, but it's been forever since I had and MF and my tasting note from then looks exactly like this 👍 .

After ashfall it becomes unexpectedly creamy and lighter. I accidentally inhale at the shock. This should have been a 👍👍 with a couple boxes purchased. Methinks it's also the 19 code as opposed to a 16, albeit at about the same age. Band slides right off, no glue or bulging.

My usually sultry backyard is for once arid, so burn and construction can actually be appraised without the caveat of its a muggy 70%@85f. Burn is super sharp. Ash falls often and the wrapper starts to go a little. What do you expect from an MF?

Still no real change in flavors at halfway, basically a Graham cracker is whip cream with a wisp of pumpkin pie. I'm ok with that. Strength as slowly notched up to something oomphy.

The last 3rd is a definite shift into high gear for a cigar like this. Candied nuts, spun sugar, cinnamon & nutmeg toast all wrapped up with a mellow tobacco. Drops in sweetness, but picks up intensity and richness as we progress to the nub. Nub is wicked, more Graham cracker, condensed milk, sweet tar and orange zest than anything

I'll give this a 8/11 and be happy i have a 10ct. I'd definitely pickup a box of these in a 19/20 code.
