Partagas Salomones - TUA MAY 21 (JBWP5RW)

[SmoothContest]

Okay… I smoked this one WAY too early… I hope I win:)

I decided to crack open my May 21 Salomones to try one out with hopes of greatness, but in reality these sticks need another year or two before they start hitting their stride. 
 

This smoke was very one dimensional with no real transition. Right of the bat through the end a solid nuttiness with salty finish. Not bad but not great, yet. 
 

These will no doubt be better with age, but right now I’d give it an 85

That's a lot of cigar for one dimension! I love Partagas, including of course Lusis, but I'm not sure I can manage these big boys...

Thanks for the recommendation! I've got a box of these winging its way to me from the last 24:24 sale - I'll definitely be laying it down for a while

Thanks for this review.  Also picked up a box on last 2424.  They will rest until next summer min before I give one a try.

Yes for sure. It’s a beautiful cigar. Just needs some time. I’ll check In again next summer!

Is there any way to get this in the US?

Stupid question but is that the forum or something else?
