Partagas Festival November 2020
nsills replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
@Elpresidente @Habana Mike Hey Prez/Mike, how does one go about getting tickets for this? I'm planning a trip to Cuba in November and would love to attend / meet up with you guys. -
For this comp I decided to review the BPC from the Blind Tasting comp, seeing as I forgot to smoke and submit my guess on that one! Paired it with Aberlour A'bunadh Batch 61. Cold draw is perfectly open. Smell of barnyard and coffee grounds. First third is wonderfully powerful yet creamy. Leather and biscuit coming through. Second third strength has settled a bit. Lots of sweetness coming through. Never understood the hints of licorice El Prez usually picks up with Bolivar, but I can see that interpretation here. I probably would have gotten this wrong had I

Been a long weekend. My best friend got married, but no chance to smoke so really looked forward to this one! The cigar is has a beautiful color and sheen. Barnyard scent.

Spent the weekend in Tulum checking out the venue and nearby hotels where I'm having my wedding ceremony later this year. Gorgeous weather. Picked up some singles from the LCDH Cancun. I believe the Boli EL 2009 is a fake (the band color, wording etc is all wrong, didn't notice until later) but the cigar itself at least seems like the real deal. Who knows. The rest look and smell great! -
