Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

Upon opening a box of Partagas Serie D No. 4’s, you get a cedary and creamy scent. Strong aromas of cedar and honey ooze from the foot of the cigar, while a strong earthy smell is present on the wrapper. The pre-light draw is perfect and the wrapper leaves a sweet flavor on the lips.

Burn/ Draw

The draw is great from the very start. The cigar might occasionally start burning unevenly, but corrects itself with no effort. The ash is firm, dark grey – almost black – and stays on the cigar until almost two inches long. The cigar delivers plenty of smoke that has a long peaty, earthy finish, it smokes well until the very end.

Initial third:

The Partagas Serie D No. 4 starts with a coffee and chocolate flavor with the overtone of leather and tobacco. The cigar mellows down and gets more complex. Woody, earthy and sweet with a medium to full body.

Middle third:

In the second third, the cigar turns to full body, even chewy. The flavors of the first third become more intense, but not harsh. It is bold and toothy.

Final third:

In the last third, the cigar gets even stronger, rich and intense but not overwhelming. It becomes more creamy, complex and refined.

To summarize, this is a very tasty cigar with full body, with complex and interesting flavors, without overwhelming the smoker too much strength.

Smoking time: 45 – 90 Minutes
