Review Notes: This really is a great cigar and I'm suprised that its review average isn't higher, say in the low 9's. Regardless, the construction is just as flawless as the draw with a slow and even burn that demonstrates the artisian grace this baby was made with. Full bodied with deep notes of spice, wood, and a few other complexities that I can't describe. Everything is in perfect balance keeping the Partagas power in balance with the smoothness cigar-lovers have come to expect from top of the line smokes. Definitely worth $10 and more. Bravo!
