rumrogue Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Got this, along with a mate, some time back & it has slumbered for a while in the sweetie box. Apparently it is a Partagas No.16 vitola. (Mm, that's very interesting). It looks so "right" it's one of those cigars I have to fondle. Often. Avoiding the temptation to light it up. 'Til last night. You just know it will have that Partagas thing. It did. And some. 2 hours of hedonistic pleasure. Great draw & burn. Dark chocolate, nut, honey and black pepper flavours plus that Partagas thing. Bloody lovely. Respect.
El Presidente Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Withoud doubt one of the best of all LE releases. You get the feeling that someone involved with Partagas refuses to produce crap cigars.
Ken Gargett Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 how does it compare to the D2's from 2003? have not tried either for quite a while.
rumrogue Posted August 7, 2005 Author Posted August 7, 2005 No experience of the D2 mate. So can't answer the question. Unfortunately. :-(
Mel Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Absolutly stunning cigar in appearance. Love the size and burn of this cigar. I remember taking one to the turkey woods one day and promised to reward myself for killing a big bird. Didn't shoot squat. I then changed my mind deciding to console myself with the said stick. I lit the monster and in two draws my nose plugged bigger than ****, I had a head cold. Could not taste a thing. I left the band on the whole smoke just so I could know I was smoking a great cigar. Have not had one in a while but will pull one out for my trip to Alaska for salmon at the end of the month.
Echeck Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 These showed a lot of potential on release. I havent had one in a while though, El's need a long nap.

Vetteman Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Good to hear these are maturing and will hopefully meet expectations. It is a pretty cigar.
Elric Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 » Good to hear these are maturing and will hopefully meet expectations. » It is a pretty cigar. IMO 4th on the EL hit parade behind SD3, Cohiba DC, and Monte rob.
thschrminm Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I have a box put away for a while of these... From the sound of it they should probably stay there for a bit longer...
Curmudgeon Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I had a couple of those when they were very fresh. I thought they were the best of all the ELs I've tried. In addition to the usual black-pepper flavors present in all the other ELs, they had a great tobacco-ey richness.
Mikey Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 » I have a box put away for a while of these... » » From the sound of it they should probably stay there for a bit longer... ...but they will be great!IMO they show a good deal of promise.
