Partagas D4 FEB ARG 15 (T5RW)

[Wailbait]

First and foremost, this is not a cigar review but rather a lifestyle review.  Living in Los Angeles is usually lovely most days of the year but for whatever reason, we got SLAMMED by cold and rain (before others yell at me “slammed” by Angeleno standards).

 

I’m so delighted to go outside and celebrate the first sunny day in what feels like weeks.  So I will celebrate with one of my favorite cigars from one of my favorite boxes.  

Just look at it.  It’s pretty. Smooth and a perfect weight.  
 

 

My favorite shade for a d4.  Opening it up, it’s simply brilliant.  Time gives these cigars a bit of richness.  Fantastic smoke production.  It’s pleasantly spiced but not sharp.  
Found myself deep in conversation so don’t have a ton of pics from the middle third.  But it’s such a balanced and refined cigar.  I think 5-8 years is the sweet spot for these.  I have 5 left in this box and I think I might try go finish it in the next 24 months.  It’s really one of my favorites.
