Partagas Short LMB Nov 18 (ATWSSRW)

[justince]

Nice day, but didn't have a lot of time to commit...so out comes the go-to, a Party short.

 

Draw was extremely tight. Unfortunately, the construction on these in this box have overall been hit or miss, and this one was a miss. Had to bust out the perfec-draw and I massacred the thing (see pics). Couldn't find anything obvious, seemed to just be overly packed.

Comes out mild-medium because of the lack of smoke output. I keep periodically putting the stick under the needle and it's not helping. I'm not getting great flavors out of it either, which is unfortunate. At times, I'd get the flavors I expect: bread & spice, but fleeting. Probably has to do with the draw.

Ultimately, I chucked it at about the half way point...I always try to save a stick, but this one was unsalvageable.
