Review Notes: great taste, great smell,even my wife likes the smell. just open a cabinet and stick your nose in and smell.

Review Notes: This is one of those cigars where The Grail stops here. Tremendous flavors, rich and chewy that transition down the line. My box is also from Aug 06, they are incredible already. Not sure I will be able to age them

Review Notes: I bought a box of these form Sep 06. I was going to let them age for a while but I couldn't resist trying one for a benchmark. Unbelievable. Lot's of leather flavor an smooth full flavor. Quite a bit of nicotine also. Perfect burn until the last quarter. Taste changed about this time also, but this was because it was a youngster. This is the BEST cigar I have ever smoked. I am sure that they will get even better when they get some age on them, if I can resist smoking them, but it will be hard to improve on perfection. This is the finest double corona out there. I would have scored this a perfect 10 except for it's age.

Review Notes: I've smoked about 8 of these and have been very pleased each time. The draw has been a tad inconsistent from stick to stick, but never the flavor. Rich, full bodied, creamy, just a great smoke, highly recommended.

Review Notes: I'm usually quite a harsh judge of my smokes but had to give this a 10 for appearance, I cant imagine a better looking stick. I dont get the burn or draw problems I've heard of and suspect much of the complaining comes from those who are clueless when it comes to big smokes, if you want something that lights, burns, draws and smokes like a PC, buy a PC. The flavours of this smoke are typical Partagas delivered slowly and smoothly in a cool mouthful and grows nicely to a creamy tobacco with hints of leather and spice much like the D4 Robusto at the end. If you've been caught up in the craze for mammoth smokes these are perfect. Personally I rarely have the time to do these justice and tend to prefer to take my time over a Partagas PC or D4 Robusto than rush something this size, their a fraction of the cost and tend to command your attention better than DCs which don't get going until half is burned away
