Personal Cigar Review: Partagas Y Nada Mas Robusto

The Partagas Y Nada Mas Robusto had a pretty nice start as the crushed red pepper provided a nice accent along with the mustiness. The second third took a step down as the black pepper replaced the crushed red pepper and continued at that level the rest of the way. I was hoping for more of the first third throughout, but that didn't materialize. This is a well priced cigar, which makes it an easy try. I might come back to it again to see if I can chase that first third, but it's not high on my to do list.

Team Cigar Review: Partagas de Bronce Corona Gorda

The Partagas de Bronce Corona Gorda started out with some interesting flavors in the first third, centered around floral and lavender components. As the cigar progressed, the profile became more linear and average. Given the ultra premium price point, I was expecting more from the flavor profile, so this is something I wouldn't return to based on my experience.

Personal Cigar Review: Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas 2020

The flavor profile of the Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas 2020 was a fairly smooth mix of earth, wood and black pepper, but it wasn't anything all that exciting. I could see a fair number of smokers enjoying the smooth profile, but with the high price point and average flavor experience, it's not something I really see myself returning to. This was just a bit too basic to keep my attention.

Team Cigar Review: Partagas Legend Corona Extra Leyenda

The Partagas Legend Corona Extra Leyenda is an enjoyable smoking experience. With a complex flavor profile of cream, chocolate, leather, pepper, baking spices and loamy earth. I particularly enjoyed the vitola, and found the soft square press very comfortable.

Team Cigar Review: Partagas 1845 Extra Oscuro Rothschild

Team Cigar Review: Partagás 1845 Extra Oscuro Rothschild

The Partagas 1845 Extra Oscuro Rothschild really surprised me with subdued and nuanced flavors throughout. I was able to get 1 hour and 27 minutes of smoking time which was a great value. I'll be interested to see how this cigar compares in the other available vitolas.

Team Cigar Review: Partagas Heritage Rothschild

This is another standard and typical offering from General Cigar. It's nothing to rave about nor be disappointed about. The flavor by itself was average to good, but the paper note did not meld well with the other notes.
