Beneath the Band: Partagas Serie D Number 4

[zeedubbya]

Have loved them for years. One of my favorite cigars and my first love of CCs. I have several boxes, only one not smoked from. In my opinion, possibly the best overall cigar (in terms of the categories above) in the world today. Boxes of El Laguito rolled have been beyond incredible and Partagas factory ones are excellent as well. Have only had a few duds from outlying factories. I feel if we knew the blending that went into the D4 we’d know why it’s so consistent. I wish I had picked up 30 boxes in 14/15 because as @LizardGizmo has said, it’s now harder to smoke them because replacement cost is so high. I will buy more some day but it won’t be for a while or it will be trading for “double banded dollar gobblers”.

I keep them around to try to be a good host for my friends. Maybe my favorite guest cigar. If I ran out I would buy more. If I had to pick three vitolas from Partagas they wouldn't make the cut. I like them but I don't love them.

I’ve had 4 so far and can tell there is potential. The aroma has been heavenly. I keep waiting for the taste to level up to the aroma. Sadly that hasn’t happened yet. I’ll keep going. 4-6 based on sample size.
