Partagas Lusitanias 12DCRC

[Bijan]

Just under official weight.

Cigar smells of cedar.

Predraw of leather.

I'll go in sixths as this is a longer smoke.

First sixth: Lights up sweet sourdough, bit of leather, bit of pepper spice.

Second sixth: Sweetness dies down, some spice besides pepper come in, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, very subtle.

Third sixth: Earthy flavour.

Fourth sixth: Cedar flavour. Slightly sweeter towards the end.

Still had some peppery spice in the third and fourth sixths in the background.

Unfortunately this is as far as I got. As work/life interrupted me. I tried to get back to it, but cigar was laying around too long and it started ok, but quickly turned awful. Managed to make it all the way through the fifth sixth before tossing it. I hope to revisit with another Lusitania from my 50-cab.

You. Are. A. Trooper!!  

Love your reviews.  You should add in outside temps during your session?.  Curious to see if lower cold temps affect flavor.

Thanks! Good idea. I'll do that going forward. It was about 3C/37F on this one.

Nice review and salute to you for smoking a DC out in the cold. I can barely smoke a Party Shorts when it’s so cold even with a heater..
