Partagas Super Partagas TLE DIC 19 (VVRW#2)

[justince]

One of my favorite C&C's to keep around.

Great draw & construction, might not be the most attractive stick to look at but that's not the point. I'd call it on the milder side of medium, with muted, but classic partagas flavor of spice & wood. A straight shooter with no crazy transitions, but great for the price and I love the vitola. Got about 50 minutes out of this guy.

 

These are often overshadowed by the shorts and are great value for the price. I'd still take a party short over this most days, but it's a good mixup.

Thanks for the review. These were always my favourite C&C. I'm smoking one in my avatar picture at my wedding (got a box at Canadian retail prices to hand out).

Haven't had such good luck with my current box of Super Partagas recently. But it's been a while. I might just smoke one again to see how they're doing.

As far as the partagas C&C's go (of which I've only had PCE, Aristocrats, Mille Fleurs, and these, i wouldn't call the tubos & shorts C&C as they seem to be a higher level of quality), these are the milder ones of the bunch. Aristocrats and PCEs can be on the fuller side, and both of them can be harsh. I have a 17' box of Aristocrats that have been great, but I think another year or two they'll mellow out real nicely.

 

I've yet to try habaneros, i'll probably pick some up at some point..

Nice review. The Super Partagas Tubos are little gems when young. Fiery and peppery.
