Partagas Serie D No.4 - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on April 24, 2014):

Great cigars, full bodied flavours and smooth profile and some good touches of spice. You should try giving it a retrohale to get the most out of the blend.

I got some good leather flavours, hints of honey and white pepper. As the cigar progressed I got some oaty notes with small and very subtle cinnamons and woody notes. Near the end of the power of the cigar starts to show more wood notes with small hints of that sweetness. On the retrohale the pepper tingles the nasal passage but overall stays very pleasant.

The burn line can sometimes prove a little uneven but it does usually straighten out if you let it. It leaves a nice dark grey ash which will hold for a good 2 inches if you dare let it get that big. The draw is easy and consistent across multiple cigars.

If you can get a couple of years of age in the humidor on these cigars then you are in for a real treat as they start to get very tasty and the complexity builds up to give out more of the subtle sweeter notes.

Great when paired with a good peated whisky or a premium rum. One of my favourite pairings is Nikka White Label.
