"Bad batch?"

Wow, these won t draw at all. I have to use a shish kabob skewer down the length just to smoke them...of course, then I m spitting flecks of tobacco for the next hour. note: I missed the 30 day return window because I had other cigars to smoke first . This is a one and done for sure. Disappointing. The good news is they taste fine... Ha!

"Not as good as they used to be"

This used to be my favorite gigante. Unfortunately lately in the last few orders I got a few That had an extremely tight draw. Even after sitting in the humidor an using the usual methods to take care of a tight draw I had no success. Always enjoyed the flavor, but the tight draw isn’t worth it to me. Fortunately the small black labels still smoke well and have that great flavor!

"Perfection"

My favorite stick, perfect ring size, perfect length, perfect label. Partagas Black Label is long on flavor and always burns evenly. With hints of chocolate, intoxicating aroma you will fall in love. Why buy any other.

"My go to daily cigar"

I often get the urge to try different cigars, but this is the one I always come back to. On occasion I get one with a hard draw which is my reason for knocking it down a star. The flavor is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to find a cigar that I have tried that has the spicy flavor this one. I like the burn on these and rarely have to do a relight even after having to let it sit for a few minutes while I may have to go do something. If you like that spicy peppery flavor I would recommend you give this a shot,

"Partagas gigante"

Really enjoy this cigar. I rate it a 5 star ?? .

"great flavor and aroma"

These are my go to cigars. The taste and aroma keep me coming back. They do have a couple problems at least for me . They are inconsistent in draw; some are so tough to draw they re almost unsmokable. When I get one like that I cut it in half and smoke the good half. I get at least one cigar out of every 3 boxes like that. The other problem is keeping them lit / uneven burn.

"Mild to full"

Love , burns well

"One of my newest favorites."

This is a very great smoke. I'm not usually a big fan of larger ring gauges, but this is my most prominent exception. Its oscuro wrapper has some very great flavors to offer. Try some; they won't disappoint.

"More doesn't necessarily mean better"

I am a big Black Label fan. I am also a large (sized) cigar fan. However, this sized Black Label just seems to be missing something from its smaller counterparts. I find the 60 ring gauged Blacks like this to be alittle tighter rolled than the 50 or 52's. The results, for me, is less smoke, and alittle too lean of a flavor. It's an hour and a half to two hour smoke, but it doesnt really open up until about the last 30 minutes. It still has the high nicotine-wobbly leg-not for the faint finish, but all other size BL's have a more creamy, robust flavor to me (except the tinned minis, those have no flavor to me). I'm going to let the rest of my 5 pack rest for another 6 months or a year and revisit this size. It still looks great, burns even, if slow, and smells great, but its just missing a certain something...
