jkittlesen Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Partagas Series D #5 it really is a good smoke but it's first third, compared to the Montecristo number 2 and the Hoya Epicure Deluxe it is stronger,.It's a peppery Cuban but the draw and burn is okay on the first third . This is just the first third so I'll work my way down to the second. The burn is starting to get a little wayward on a second third. I had to correct the burn, no big deal. Damn I just lost the ash on my lap but it was a really good one inch ash.The second third is definitely calmed down on the pepper spice and it's more of a creamy taste. It's just missing some of the complexities of the Montecristo and the Hoya Epicure DeLuxe. The last third is definitely some rich and creamy smoke though heavy smoke. I may be smoking a little fast. Definitely starting to get a little nicotine hit on the last third. Starting to get a little hot this is where I'm going to end it.I had to correct the burn for the third time but is still a very enjoyable smoke. I'm looking forward to giving this cigar little more time in the humidor just to see how it ages.

I smoke a lot of cigars and some burn at different rates throughout the cigar and some give me that light headed feeling that others do not. It may not be that you're smoking it fast it may just be the tobacco that is used in the cigar. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app No3PuttLaLa and jkittlesen 2 Quote Link to comment

jkittlesen Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 My first Cuban fail, wrapper came apart and was dry , after half smoked with a tough draw I opened it up to find a lot of green spots. The first of the 10 was amazing, this one terrible. So I backed it up to a Partagas Series D #5. Much better, luck of the draw I guess.

I've had two 25 count and haven't found a bad one yet. But just like golf, there is always that one cigar/shot that is abnormal! D#5 is a solid one. I have one #4 left in the humidor.
