Partagas Black Label

4 1/2 x 54 Robusto
Dominican Republic with Nicaraguan Filler
$6.50

A buddy suggested this cigar so I thought I would give it a try. I like the size of this smoke and it is surprisingly dark for a Dominican Republic smoke. The tobacco looks like velvet and is smooth to the touch. This smoke was easy to light and starts out with a sweetness I didn't expect. It has an easy draw and a firm feel. It has a complex taste but I do pick up on hints of Caramel and chocolate...sounds like a Milky Way?

It stays sweet and smooth throughout and leaves a nice clean taste on my palette. There was an addition note of spice about half way into it. This would be a good cigar to enjoy with a coffee.

I did enjoy this cigar and it was a nice change from my normal full bodied smoke. This might be considered medium to full for some but it was a treat on the milder side for what I normally enjoy. This smoke was an enjoyment this morning out on the patio.
