mash Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I had another Serie D 5 the other day, and again it was powerful, spicy, with a hint of sweetness. The burn and draw were flawless. LOVE THEM =). I agree, these are anything but boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rob Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I had my first of these tonight. The only thing it had going for it was the fact it was short and it meant I didn't have to sit through more of it. It wasn't at all a representation of the brand profile and the taste was 'confused'... not knowing what it wanted to be. A Partagas should taste like a Partagas. It was full bodied but lacking in refinement and direction. I would have another... but if I'm pulling a petit robusto out of my humidor this wont be the first one I reach for. Hell, just about all regular line cigars I have smoked this month (non EL) satisfied me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesward Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well, I was one of the fools that bought a box. Truth is that I like them. Definitely didn't blow me away the way a RASS or a HDM epi No. 2 does, but I thought a year of aging could improve them enough to be a nice cigar for certain occasions. Good stuff and the point is not to agree on every smoke as if we did, the forum would be a boring place. If you are going to discount these, i might buy another rack.

messa Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I agree, these are anything but boring. I like them as well, good not great though. They are mild-med for me; I find them to be a smooth, creamy smoke and I've never gotten any spice from them. So for me I'd put these down as a nice breakfast cigar.

hsmunoz Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I had my first one yesterday. I did not try to compare it to other Partagas , or other EL's I just lit it and smoked it. I was waiting to declare it a dud based on everything I read here. however, this is a fine little smoke, better towards the last third. cocoa, smooth, and burned cool to the last 1.4 in. The only thing that annoyed me about it was when I had to let it go. I almost grabbed another one and burned it back to back. This is not an ok smoke for me, its a fine cigar. will it get better with age, heck I don't know, but it's good enough now that i will enjoy them any time i want that flavor and cool smoke. I think they were expensive when they first came out so they are by no means a "value" smoke, but resently the prices have come way down and I considered the box I got a bargain!. very happy with these little guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Just smoked my first (and only) today. Surprisingly good! Nice draw & burn, strong & peppery. They were expensive, but just noticed a major price drop. And FWIW, I don't generally care for the D4. This cigar was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I would have another... but if I'm pulling a petit robusto out of my humidor this wont be the first one I reach for. Hell, just about all regular line cigars I have smoked this month (non EL) satisfied me more. I love the Petite Robusto format. Have been hitting some '07 HDM's lately. Very good CIGARS. I don't like the Monte Petite Edmundos (TOO TANNIC FOR ME). But other than some RR's (Bolivar Petite Linbertador, PCC Bolivar) I don't know of many others. Which Petit Robustos are you pulling out of your humidor? The HDM Petit Robusto's are bloody delicious at the moment. I never thought I would like them after some insipid early years examples. I have changed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnutbutrsangwich Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 If a cigars tastes like **** young age will not make it any better!! A blender blends a cigar to smoke young and if it taste great most likely will have the legs for aging . No one is going to buy a box of cigars that taste like **** or bland fresh because cigars over all are to be smoked young as most do. If a majority of these cigars suck than well they will always suck.. j This is 100% wrong IMO. There's plenty of worthless cigars that turn into fantastic cigars. There's also lots of cigars that are great fresh and are never as good afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I had another Serie D 5 the other day, and again it was powerful, spicy, with a hint of sweetness. The burn and draw were flawless. LOVE THEM =). i posted somewhere, i hope, that i tried another of these recently. it was one i brought back from the havana festival of 2008 - they had a pre release showing. it was much, much darker in wrapper than any i have seen since. not that it should matter. it was also a lovely cigar and i would be very happy to smoke it regularly. so for me, there is serious variation in boxes but the good ones are worth it.
