Partagas Lonsdale SUA NOV 99

[Thurm15]

I smoked this Lonsdale on St Patty's Day with a couple Pint's of Guinness and what a treat it was! I was gifted a pair of these last Christmas by a BOTL from another Cigar Board.I've been a big fan of Lonsdale's lately and this one is tops in my book. The Cigar was full of Classic Partagas flavor from beginning to end and I had a hard time putting this one down once I reached the Nub(Where's a roach clip when you need one). I can understand why Min Ron Nee says in his book that this is his favorite Cigar.

One of my favorites! I've been smoking through a cab from 02 and they have been wonderful.

I love the Partagas Lonsdale, though I've never smoked one from earlier than 01. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the comment. They are superb cigars, IF you can find some that aren't plugged or tight.

That, unfortunately, can be the trick with these.

A few year's ago I landed a cab of SEP01's that just were not ready. I was a bit bummed and would have one every now and then to see how they were progressing. Marginal at best for quite some time.

THEN, maybe a year ago I lit one and cowabunga! THIS was Partagas at its best!! Successive samples brought similar glee and I was off and running with one fine cab of smokes!

It was only natural (sigh) to latch onto another cab prior to their departure. This one from OSU OCT02. Smoked one right away to get an idea of their complexity and low and behold--another stellar cabinet.

This is one of my "Top-5" Habanos for sure.
