NapaNolan Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Pricing seems to be Super<PCE<de Luxe Any strong opinions on any of these? And in a similar size (PCE actually larger), why are the Capitols roughly double the price of these 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbandz Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 seems like the PCE I have smoked were very good, and I smoke the Supers a lot. They are usually decent , less complex though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC4 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I've only tried the PCEs, many boxes and everyone was enjoyable. Not tried others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, been tempted to try aristos or habaneros but still have PCEs on hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapaNolan Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 I ordered a box of Super Partagas, it just came down to it being the size I prefer the most of the three I mentioned. I'll report back in a few months 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapaNolan Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 I smoked a Super after about 2 weeks of resting, a 21 box I believe (not feeling motivated to go upstairs right now) and I was floored by how integrated and enjoyable it was. I know these were a lot cheaper a few years ago but I was really happy for $6/stick, I don't think I could come close in an NC for that price. It had a tiny bit of a bitter cardamom/coriander edge but I'm hoping that smooths out with some time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveller Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Really enjoy the Partagas Habaneros and the Aristocrats are slightly lower/less full flavoured IMO. Haven't tried the others but would like to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 De Luxe are absolute garbage. Never has a cigar been less aptly named. Duty free trash. Same with Coronas Senior & Junior. Barf. The PCE has typically been regarded as the best of the small Partagas by a notch over the long term and seems to have the lowest production. I would put the Mille Fleurs, Aristocrats, Habaneros and Super Partagas on about the same level although any of them could have the advantage batch to batch.

It's a real Partagas PC that can compete with the Shorts. Unfortunately the price is awful. I wanted to just get a couple singles in Cuba but they would only sell them in the 5 tins so I passed. Didn't want 5 at that price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
