ParkitoATL Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hi Y'all, New to the forum, long time smoker but fairly new to Cubans. I wanted to ask the difference in the Partagas petit corona lineup. There seems to be a vast array of Partagas right in the 5" x 40 ring wheelhouse (Aristocrats, PCs, Mille Fleurs, Habaneros, PCE, Supers, etc) and I was wondering if these are all really that different. Got a box of MFs on the way, just looking to buy some singles and explore more Partagas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairo Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 There have been many posts on this topic over the years--the search function is your friend. My personal rating scale (fwiw) is that the best (by far) are the Party Shorts. The Aristocrats are the best of the rest (again, imho). Next, the Habaneros. The PCEs are a bit milder--not in my wheelhouse. The MFs don't do much for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas.Alpha Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 From my point of view, P shorts are the correct answer to the question. PCE are my go-to if on a short trip. Nicotine wrapped in nicotine. No flavor whatsoever. Great with a morning Cuban coffee. MF: Pleasant and reasonable, wouldn’t fly across the sea for them. Supers: Same as the Milli, good, not outstanding. P2: (Recently) light draw, excellent. The larger Partagas have introduced a licorice flavor, which I don’t particularly like.... My 2c Forgot. WELCOME PARKITO!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Party Shorts are not in the class. Capitols also seem to be a cut above. Everything else, whatever's smoking best. Aristocrats, PCE, Super Partagas and Mille Fleur pretty much rotate. They all taste about the same to me. Try them all--you might find one better than the others for you, although I don't believe they're using top-tier leaf in any of them since the early 2000s. I would personally avoid the tubos (Partagas de Luxe and Coronas Junior & Senior). Duty Free garbage IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connoisseur Kim Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 As a Partagas Shorts fan, I highly recommend Partagas Shorts if you want to try Partagas PC, since it has pack of Partagas flavor in a small Minuto PC 😃. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshot Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Tried a box of MF once everyone but a few where plugged. Shorts I've been buying for years. My money is on the shorts. I think I still have few at the bottom of my humidor somewhere. Still love them. I've had better success with the dress boxes then the 50 cabs but that's just me. Also I like them not too old so they have a little kick. Some of my 4+ yr shorts kinda lost there power. Not bad but I say that 1-3 age is the sweet spot.

NSXCIGAR Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Now, if you can get ahold of some actual Partagas Petit Coronas... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akela3rd Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Shorts and Aristocrats are the best of the bunch. Both have a sweet edge to them, caramel and molasses respectively .IMHO obviously...Sent by spooky action at a distance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobaccoRoad Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I'm enjoying the Mille Fleurs. Not a lot of complexity and on the mild side but that suits me for an everyday smoke. Grabbed one last night as a matter of fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkitoATL Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Guess I need to be shopping for some Shortys! Thanks for the input. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaldes Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I got excited thinking this was a thread about Partagas PC's. I can still taste my last cab, which was finished in 2003. Yum! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
