So on my recent trips to the Philippines and South Africa, a friend and I searched out cigar lounges to see what we could find. I was able to grab a Partagas Series D robusto from Cuba. I did the research to verify the authenticity. Saturday night while chilling with my friends I finally lit that up. Great cigar. Smooth, with notes of cedar, cocoa, and leather. Good smoke. A little uneven on the burn, but rotating the cigar fixed the issue. A slight bit of pepper on the finish. Overall, excellent stick!
