Partagas Lusitania Review - 17-Jan-2012

Partagas Lusitania Review – 17-Jan-2012
Origin:  Cuba
Format:  Prominentes
Size:  49 x 194

Initial impression:  Construction is very nice.  Draw at cold is firm.  Aroma at cold is honey and earth.

Opening:  Burn is very even.  Draw firmed up a touch after lighting, but it is far from tight or plugged.  Flavors are creamy, honey and earth with a little pepper note as well.

First third:  Smoke volume building up a bit.  Flavors are very earthy and spicy, but strength is medium at best.  Creamy notes are still present, but very light and enjoyable.

Second third:  Cigar is building up a bit in strength, but still on the low side of medium plus.  Earthy and spicy flavors remain, but a slight touch of the honey found at the opening has returned.

Final third:  Earthy and spice at this point.  Cream and honey are gone.  Cigar is strangely back to medium in strength.

Conclusion:  Enjoyable cigar.  Total smoking time is approaching two hours.  Flavor strengthened a bit in the last 20 minutes or so, with flavors of earth and spice.
