Partagas Shorts GOS OCT 19 (OYMRW)

[ChangBang]

Pulled out a Party short when firing up the smoker last night as it usually does take around a hour to get it going and up to temp ready for food(chicken breast).  Party shorts are a go-to cigar for me as they're pretty cheap and offer good flavor in a short package.  As I try more, I'm attempting to narrow down staples that I will stock up on and this definitely makes the list! 

Give it a cut and light, perfect draw and blasted with woody flavors.  Given there's a lot of smoke and whatnot from the charcoal, I'm starting to rethink smoking a cigar since I can't smell much else lol.  Oh well I've gone too far!  It is 20:52.

At first all I can really taste is wood, but maybe 15min in, I start to get that partagas spice/paprika that I usually attribute to this cigar.  Think all the smoke from the smoker really messed with me so in the future, I'll smoke yardgars when prepping the charcoal.  Ended at 21:35.

Total smoke time of 43min, which is kind of fast for me honestly I would expect a partagas short to take closer to 50min-1hr.  I'll give this experience a 4/10 - below average.  I'll take the blame for this - not a great setting for a cigar battling with charcoal smoke.
