fabes Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hey y'all! I didn't have a Lusi for tonight's Live Review, so I made do with the 2014 LE. Thanks Rob for hosting us! It was a fun experience and look forward to joining next time. Thought I'd share some tasting notes as my box now has a year on it. Partagas LE 2014 7:15 start 2:00 total time Slight breeze outside - 69ºF - 65% humidity paired with water for the first half, then a dram of Caol Ila. sweet earthy leather aroma at cold wrapper a fairly smooth, lovely shade of medium brown draw is excellent, no firm or soft spots, well constructed 1st third Soft spice, earthy leather, smooth. 2nd third Similar to the first third with the addition of coffee and cream. Like a macchiato or a cappuccino with a spice like nutmeg. final third spice letting go to a nutty flavor. With that coffee taste. Occasional bit of chocolate covered almonds. conclusion I tried one on release and remember enjoying it a lot, but have long forgotten what it tasted like. Now with a year from box date, I’m definitely digging this. Really excited to see how these go and will try to wait till next August to sample another. Would like to try and see if I can make this an annual cigar. Partly for the discipline, partly to see if they keep getting better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Thanks for your review. I look forward to hearing what this is like in a year from you, especially as the consensus on this cigar is that, while it smokes well young, it has great aging potential. http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=120411 http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=120894 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niela Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Don't hesitate, I enjoyed this one even more than the cohiba EL from that year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonk Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I found it to be a really good smoke as well. Fresh, they're probably even better then the CORO Supremos, but I suspect with less ageing potential as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
