El Presidente Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 As you know one of my favourite cigars always close to hand. Still I received an e-mail Monday from a mate who said he could never "get" this cigar. never had a good one and that includes one that we shared together (from my stock) on the deck. I know we all have different tastes but everything I could see in the cigar, the medium full profile, the dark espresso notes, the class, the burn't brownie edge, the touch of mongrel......he only got bitterness. So over to you amigos. Partagas 898 Varnished. Your experience. "Thumbs up or Thumbs Down" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thumbs down, albeit with limited exposure. Had a handful so-so ones and never bothered again. Too bad as I really love the vitola. been a few years though. Would like to try again soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasabar Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've only had one, and it was recently and it was 7 years old. I loved it. I don't remember dark coffee or espresso, but I do know it burned my lips and I wanted it to last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
