Partagas D4 2015 (TGORW)

[MrBirdman]

My “good oil” is the 2015 D4 are smoking a dream right now. While 2019-2021 D4 are justifiably getting a lot of love with their enhanced richness, I first had my mind opened to D4 with a box of 2015’s and they’ve continued to smoke fantastically. 

This one opened light, with a little tobacco and coffee, not much else. It’s the 2nd third where the flavor starts to turn up to 11, with a wonderful hazelnut and chocolate flavor, maybe a bit of buttered whole grain toast as well. And there is continues to sing.

The cigar needed only a small touch up. This went out around the band and I didn’t want to risk ruining the finish so I didn’t relight - my other bit of good oil isn’t exactly much of secret, but these really really reward slow sipping once the flavor kicks up. The flavor is so rich that you really don’t need much smoke to coat your palate with flavor.

Maybe I just lucked out with a stellar 2 boxes - I hate to seen them go but these are in such a good place I can’t see them improving. Had it not gone out and suffered a bit of tunneling at the end it would be a 96. As it is, I give it a solid 94. Easily the cigar of the month so far.
