Review Notes: First things first this is one of the best looking cigars that I have EVER seen. Its got a very dark maduro wrapper thats nice and oily. Very eye catching. Considering how dark the wrapper is I was expecting a spicy full flavored cigar that was a little rough around the edges. Boy was that not what I got. I would consider the Partagas Black to be a mild cigar actually. The cigar was incredibly smooth with very little spice. Instead there were hints of dark chocolate, caramel, coffee, and even a little woody. The one "complaint" I have is that the draw is a bit tight. The ash is gray and very solid and the burn is very slow due to the tight wrap. Overall I really enjoyed smoking this cigar. I would suggest going a size bigger than the Bravo as it was a bit short though. All things considered, I need to buy a box!
