Partagás Serie P No.1 2009 - Ceramic Jar (circa 2009)

According to Cuban Cigar Website, Habanos S.A. introduced the Duty Free and Travel Retail Series in 2006. These are quality items, of various types and sizes, released primarily for sale in Duty Free and Travel Retail stores, at a premium price. They contain either single-brand or multi-brand standard production or special release cigars.

The releases thus far include:

2006 - Montecristo Edmundo
2007 - H. Upmann Robustos
2008 - Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robustos, Montecristo Petit Edmundo and
Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills (a multi-brand collection of standard production cigars in super-premium double-chamber humidifier tubes)
2009 - Partagás Serie P No.1 (released in a ceramic jar)
2010 - Hoyo de Monterrey Double Epicure
2014 - Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills
2015 - Partagás Serie E No.2
2017 - Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Belicoso
2018 - Montecristo Double Edmundo
2019 - H. Upmann Magnum 56 (released in a ceramic jar)

The Partagas Serie P No.1 is a Petit Pyramid with dimensions of 50 ring gauge x 127 mm (or 5 inches) in length. It was released to market in 2010 and received positive appraisal at that time. It was noted for having flavours of coffee, wood, hay, pepper, cinnamon, chocolate and sweet cinnamon and honey notes. So broadly speaking, it was identified as an excellent and complex cigar.

How is it now that ten years have past? This cigar proves the old adage that a quality cigar will retain its characteristics with age. It no longer had elements of wood or chocolate but it certainly did have refined hay, pepper and honey to compliment the leather that has now developed. It was simply a joy to smoke and nub.

If you've picked up this release, and still have some cigars left, then know with confidence that the cigar is still smoking well. If you've finished them then at least you can still console yourself with the ornate ceramic jar!

I'm actually starting to enjoy these now as they creep closer to three years of age. Was not a fan earlier.

PsD4 PUR JUN 16- sheen on this thing is absolutely outrageous. This has been a box I have layed off of for the last year as I was simply smoking through all of them, every single one of this box has been an absolute cracker and exactly what good D4s should be about, spiced cream in spades. Today’s cigar was beautifully constructed, tightly packed but drew and burnt perfectly. It was a fantastic cigar but perhaps not as flavourful as the ones I smoked a year ago. Still a 92 pointer which has been the lowest score of the box... which is saying something. 
 

BBF 2015- i smoke a lot of BBF but this is actually the first i recall Smoking from a dress box as opposed to the Cab. This cigar was laiden with that classic creamy ‘guiness’ that BBF is known for, there was also a light ceded detectable on the finish. I very much enjoyed this cigar however there was a clear difference in body and complexity in comparison to an aged BBF from a cab. This was much more light in flavour in comparison and did not have any flavours of earth nuts and expresso I often get out of BBF from a SLB. The aroma was also not as pungent. Nevertheless a very enjoyable smoke. 92 points.

LTB AGO 13. Lots of cedar, raw almond, golden raisins, leather, and woody hints of a stiff chardonnay. Fantastic.

Unwinding with a Petit Edmundo.  Cold draw was a little loose and this one didn’t like being set on fire, but now it’s burning smoothly and smoking great.  To this day I still miss the old Monte bands....

Nice beer choice!

UGO OCT 18. ROTT. packed w 69 Boveda that still had some life. Pouring down rain. Never had one before. Had the time. I mean it was wet outside. The cigar was wet. Seemed perfect. Will be interesting to see how the one I put in dry box does but this one is good to go. 
Cold draw was firm but steady. Actually much easier than the principe from last night. 
only a half inch in but a flavorful stick w some evolving flavors. A touch of pepper. Then some dark chocolate or mocha. Not an overpowering flavor for sure but developing nicely. Frankly very pleasantly surprised so far. 
it pays off to watch what people smoke and try a few new things now and again. With my limited sample of three PE and one partial Edmundo, the Edmundos May have it. When I’m half done w both boxes I will revisit. 
and a thanks and top o the cigar hat to @ElJavi76 for the push here. He’s a bad influence.

Back in Calgary after a vacation in Kelowna. First order of business is an uninterrupted, guilt-free, and relaxed 2017 Cohiba Siglo 3 on my patio... As I type this, I am motivated to smoke another.

Just an outstanding Connie A MEG FEB 16. This cab has gone from very good to excellent as near the end of the box. Rich, creamy, tons of shortbread, burning perfectly with volumes of smoke. I wish all CC would smoke like this one.

Been smoking the crap out of these lately. So good.  From ‘17 as well. 

[CampDelta369]

Diplomaticos No. 2 with a firm but doable draw. Burn is great with big Dippy flavors.
