Review Notes: I have an early 2006 box, and they are just exceptional sticks. The pyramid is weighty when you hold it and the construction will draw your eye up an down a few times. The whole smoke has a creamy quality uncharacteristic of most Partagas. I did not get any honey in it like other reviewers, but did get a bit of hazelnut. It has one of the BEST burns and can just sit and then be puffed on at your leisure. The ending is where the beast comes out though and you get crushed pepper and a patented Partagas bite. Astounding cigar well worth the money.

Review Notes: toasty flavor with sweetness. tastes like caramel or vanilla. Then about half way comes the spice and power. strong cigar but not harsh. burn is perfect , as is the draw. aroma is superb. one of the best ever cigars for me.

Review Notes: from early 05 I was very impressed with how smooth this cigar was. Very creamy with a hint of honey.. If you have been disappointed with the D4's try one of these!!

Review Notes: Started off well, with a good draw and burn. Heavy wood and cocoa flavors, yet very smooth. Very good stick, but not worth the price for me. Bought a whole box of these, rolled in October-06, which makes them very young, but they still could have been better. Call me crazy for prefering a dominican over a cuban, but I'll take and Anejo 55 over this any day. Let's see what happens with these in a few months

Review Notes: Got a box of 25 in Nov 2005. I have smoked 18. This is a cigar that has to be aged for at least six months. Great Partagas flavors however quite pricey. For value, go with the Partagas D4's which are just as good.
