Partagas P2 late 20/early 21 (FFSAug24)

If I'm right it's Einstein who defined true madness as the fact of repeating the same action over and over hoping for a different result. 

Well, I've questioned my own sanity before so why not light another P2 today (for those who haven't seen my previous post, I've smoked one yesterday and it had been an underwhelming experience to say the least😩)...

This one's been on my singles tray for 3 years at least. It smells good, it looks good but it was already the case with yesterday's P2. 

15.3g, Oh boy, I certainly hope for a different outcome but this one feels tightly packed too 😅

But this time the draw is perfect, Cuban perfect, I'm relieved 🥳

Long story short, it was excellent ! Maybe a bit too mild for me and even if I find the good P2s I've had like this one lack that Partagas DNA one finds in Lusis, 898, Shorts and even Super Partagas, it was great, the kind of greatness I still haven't found outside Cuba.

Those two P2s back to back have been on each end of the enjoyment spectrum, it has happened to me before and it will happen again for sure. But each time it happens it makes me wonder...

What's the point of saying "I like this cigar" or "I like this marca" considering the lack of consistency... "I like this particular box", now that makes (a bit) more sense. How influenced am I by the band and my prior smokes, this question I can't answer but man, what a wonderful passion we share 😍😍😍

PS: Cuba should get rid of the bands and the different marcas (sorry guys, good cigars tend to awake the daydreamer in me 😅)

Hooray! This makes me glad.
