Description

The Partagas Serie D No.5 is a powerful yet creamy medium-full Petit Robusto. First released as a Limited Edition in 2008 and due to its immense success and popularity as an Edicion Limitada, it was later also released as a regular production cigar. All the flavors of a Partagas Serie D No.4 are condensed in this smaller vitola. This is a full-bodied smoke, and is very enjoyable, smoother than the Serie D No.4.

• It is complex in its flavor profile and would be a great cigar for anyone.

• The aroma and flavor are well balanced and highly enjoyable.

This cigar is what a great Cuban cigar is all about. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on some of these, enjoy them!

Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

The aroma of the cigar pre light is medium. You can smell the aroma of cedar, and oak.

Burn/ Draw

The construction on the cigar is top of the line, and this lends to a very even slow and even burn from foot to nub. The draw is impeccable. There is a tremendous amount of thick creamy smoke being produced with each puff from start to finish on this cigar.

Initial third:

The first third is big on cedar, with some nice leather and oak notes. As you continue to smoke the cedar backs down a bit, and the flavors of a sweet salty cocoa, and a dark roasted coffee are introduced.

Middle third:

In the middle you get more creamy vanilla with notes of caramel and smoke with some mild and smooth spice.

Final third:

Towards the end of this cigar the coffee and cedar are in the forefront. This cigar has a nice creamy thick (good) finish to it. You will be wanting to chew the last few puffs.

In summary, there is a tremendous amount of thick creamy smoke being produced with each puff from start to finish on this cigar. Yummy, yummy.
