I’ve had 2 from my box. I believe 2017 code. Given 2 away to cc smokers. They are very enjoyable, not refined but not too rough. Not a one dimensional cigar...maybe 2-3D. Lot of earth/musk with sweetness and a lil spice for me. Lots of smoke too. Flavor wise I’d compare to a mix of presidente and lusi. I’ve never had a party short and these taste nothing like the pd4 or pe2 which I’ve had. I imagine these are the partagas equivalent of the upmann corona major. No construction issues either.
