"Great smoke!!!"

A very aromatic and nutty smoke giving off splashes of cedar and earth.

"((( CUBAN ?? )))"

The Partagas # 2 sports a light brown, somewhat blotchy colored wrapper, with an olive colored hue. This corona is well constructed, although the draw is somewhat tight. The cigar easily supports a one inch, clean white ash. The first third of the burn is mild, with notes of leather smacking the pallet, and hints of wood brushing the inside of the nose. The second third of the burn, increases to full in strength, with aromas of leather and black pepper in the nose. On the last third of the burn, aromas of wood, leather, and sweet tobacco, bombard the pallet and nose, to finish this very complex cigar. Approximate burn time for this Partagas, is 85 minutes. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this cigar 9.5

"On Par with Cuban Partagas"

I had the good fortune to have smoked many Cuban Cigars while I was working in the Middle East. Partagas was one of my favorites so I know it well. The Dominican Partagas #2 I just got from Famous is every bit as good as the Cuban version. Mild, aromatic, draws well, doesn't burn hot. A definite 9 on a scale of ten!

"Typical"

Consistant. Straight-forward. What you usually expect from a Partagas. A very good cigar.

"Cigar has not been consistent in taste and color"

The last few boxes have not been consistent in color or taste. When the ash is white it tastes good, when dark it is rough tasting.

"A personal favorite!!"

Very well constructed cigar..Dry cedar smoke with a lasting finish. This is what a cigar is supposed to be.
