Partagas Serie P2 MSU SEP 18 (PRW)

[Bri Fi]

Purchased this box from 24:24 clearance. MSU SEP 18. 

 

75 degrees in sunny California. Can’t pass this nice day up as another storm is coming through. 

 

Pre-light: the cigar has a velvety texture and you can feel the oils coming through the wrapper. Flavor is toasted tobacco and light fruity sweetness. Construction seems spot on. Effortless draws. 

 

First third: spiced cream! More toasted tobacco. One of the draws I got pancakes. Definitely not overwhelming with flavor, but smooooth for such a youngin. PLUMES of smoke and razor sharp burn. The ash fell off at about an inch mark. Medium strength. 

 

Second third: no change. Couple of draws with some mushroom flavor. Cream and sweetness makes an appearance here and there. Full strength. Construction is flawless. I left the cigar in the ashtray for about fifteen minutes which needed a relight. Absolutely no issues restarting. 

 

Last third: all toasted tobacco but still smooth with no harshness. Very pleasant. 

 

Overall an amazing smoke with six months of age. I’m so glad I have the rest of the box to go. This is my first review which surprisingly helped with identifying flavors. Unbelievable amount of smoke output with this one. Paired with an 805 beer and a glass of Sonoma county st Francis Chardonnay (it’s my day off don’t judge ?). I’ll be buying another box if MSU SEP pops up again. Thanks Rob! 

 

Overall: 92.

A lot of P2 reviews, which is definitely a good sign! Good job.
