Partagas Aristocrat Review

[sjnovakovich]

This is an old standby, here way before the cigar boom and still around. At one time I received a box of these for Christmas during the boom. At that time the retail box price was around $300. The cigar goes for around $6 per stick nowadays and they are one of my favorites.

This is a medium to full-bodied smoke that's spicy with hints of cedar. The aroma takes you to a walnut paneled room with deep leather chairs. I love this cigar. It's burn is even, and the taste is consistent throughout with a nice even finish. It goes great with Irish Whiskey (Powers Gold). The one weakness it has is its construction. About 10% of them unravel on me about halfway through.
