Partagas Serie D No. 5 (PTGSRW)

[Superhans]

An absolute favourite short smoke of mine and can’t say I’ve ever had a disappointing d5. Not sure of the box code as working my way through half a dozen singles dating prior to 2019.

 

1/3 Earthy, woody notes to start and plenty of rich spice. Initial draw is pristine and smoke volume exceptional.

 

2/3 Spice mellows after about a half inch and a faint aniseed note comes through. Lovely warming flavours reminiscent of a Christmas mulled wine. Backbone oak character still very noticeable.

 

3/3 Flavours remain fairly similar with occasional walnut notes jumping in and out. One touch up required but no big issue.

 

Overall thoroughly enjoyable and, from my experience, one of the most consistent cigars in terms of build and taste.

 

Paired with a coffee today which combines beautifully. Hard to rate any less than a 9/10 and one of the reasons I keep coming back to them.
