Partagas Presidente - 19 (PRW)

[BeerPimp]

I love Montecristo #2's and wanted to try other figuradors.   I decided to grab a quarter box of these.  I purchased these in 2019 but the 24:24 listed them as 2018 but I can't confirm.  I knew going in based on descriptions and reviews that these were not my usual flavor profile preference.  Even with that they are definitely one of my favorite cigars.   I don't smoke them often but when I do I always enjoy them.   Many have said that these from 2015 and before were considerably more full bodied but I cannot confirm that.

I am paring this with Eagle Rare 10 which is one of those Bourbons in my area that are crazy hard to find.  So I was surprised to score a bottle over the weekend.  After cutting the cigar I get light tobacco flavor with the cold draw.  The wrapper has some nice sheen to it.

The first third is leather and earthy notes.

The second third has a little less body.  I am still getting leather but now I am getting some wood and light coffee notes.

 

The final third and I am still getting leather and wood notes. 

 

With some very minor touch ups this burned amazingly.  I give this a score of 92.  These are definitely not something I would smoke all the time but I do enjoy them.

Nice review, thanks for the current review. I haven't re stock these in a while, so a subtle reminder to do so. Lol 

As fast a strength goes these definitely used to be a stronger stick then they are currently, although I can't say I enjoy them less or more, just differently. I'm looking for these to come up soon on 24.
