El Presidente Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Partagas Short is a staple cigar for many of us Let's talk the Short. Do you like Partagas Short? Where does it stand in the ranks of the other existing Half corona/Perla/Minuto? Have you noticed a blend/flavour/body change over the years? If so, approximately when? How long does it take you to smoke a partagas Short? Do the poll! Salute the Short 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCCubano Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Smoke a lot of them and have for 20 years. I actually prefer them fairly young. Have not noticed much of a blend change over the years like other cubans. I like all small sticks in the HSA portfolio but prefer the others with some age on them. Still see them as a good value cuban for my taste. Surprisingly my current dress boxes smoking better than my cabs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 We all get it. King of the minutos. Ordered another box from here very recently… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I've never been a Shorts fan. It's just too refined for me in that format. Maybe I'd appreciate it more in a Coronas or Cervantes but for Minutos & Perlas I like some intensity and richness. The Shorts are just a bit too suave for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I know you have smoked a lot more cigars than me. But my goodness the Short is often a strong, flavourful smoke surely? The milder Partagas are at the larger end of the line: the E2 and Lusi especially. And what minutos of any marca are reliably fuller or more flavourful? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Wish the short was a true Mareva at 5.1 inches. Love the cigar but can't get more than 40 minutes out of one. I had two 2011 boxes from our host and they are a totally different cigar with 10 years of age compared when I received them. Young they are full in your face similar to a NC spice bomb. Totally nuanced and medium with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozerhead Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Fell in love with this cigar when I bought a few at a duty free store in Schiphol airport in 2006 and haven't looked back since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop532 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It’s not my favorite minuto but it’s definitely up there. I usually get between 40 - 55 minutes out of one. I seem to like it with some age but not a lot - 3-5 years is nice for me. But maybe it’s just these particular boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s relatively rich and strong for a Cuban, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtapia3 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I haven't been impressed with the handful I've tried so far. At best they've been decent. Currently my least favorite in the short smoke category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rhinoww Posted April 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2022 These deep dives are a great idea, as is setting them aside in a separate folder. They will be a real resource for the newbies and those thinking about trying something new. They are also interesting reads on cigars I like and don’t quite enjoy as much. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MossybackR Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 One of my favorite small cigars — I can enjoy up to 50 minutes or more of the rich and nuanced flavors. At nearly the same price point of the Super Partagas, it is far ahead of that vitola in flavor, but it would be interesting if the blends were switched to exchange vitolas — especially a Short in the Mareva size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chas.Alpha Posted April 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2022 I’ve always liked Rob’s description when they pop up; essential cigars for your humi. I think of them as Lusi’s in a limited time frame. I get nervous when I have less than 50 at my disposal... Shorts and Boli PC are my go-to after work smokes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel that the best description of Party Shorts is "they just make sense." It's not elegant, but that's about how I feel. Never a bad time for a short 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karp Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 They’re good, kind of like a mini D4 or Lusi if you don’t have time. I would put them tied with Boli CJ and El Principe. The Hoyo Depute and Reyes are similar size and may be a bit higher quality… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Çnote Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I have fond memories of party shorts, but I don't love them. Its a great cigar to have when you can't make up your mind. Looking at what I like, I'd rather an MC#5, HUHC, Reyes, or my absolute favorite minuto, El Prinicipe. At today's prices, I doubt I'll restock Party Shorts. They stratch the itch admirably, but they're just not my favorite. Hard opinions in a hard time for CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChangBang Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Love em, Party short is probably my most smoked cigar. Beats all the other cigars that fall into the PC category. Never had an aged one. Takes around 40min to smoke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connoisseur Kim Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 5 hours ago, jakebarnes said: King of the minutos. The best Much agreed @jakebarnes! I also think Partagas Shorts is the king of the Minutos PCs. It's quite similar with Lusitanias' flavor profile but with more kick. I wish I have at least one Partagas Shorts 50 cab so that I can puff tons of these tasty Minutos PCs when I don't have much time to puff long CCs (took 59 minutes to puff). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicPac Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 If I had to pick one cigar to smoke the rest of my life this might be it. It’s at least in the running. I probably own close to 1000 of them ranging from 2006-2021. They are 45 mins-an hour for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
