Partagas Super Partagas Cigar Review

Have a Cigar: Partagas Super Partagas

Chris Khatsch1 Comment

Name: Partagas Super Partagas

Country: Cuba

Shape: Parejo

Size: Corona (5 1/2 inches x 40)

Strength: Medium

The Super Partagas is one of those cigars you pull out when you suddenly discover that you have an hour for yourself in the middle of a busy day. It can also be the cigar that keeps you company while you run your errands and do your chores. Personally, I like to light one up when I’m working on the terrace or when I’m out on a long walk.

This medium-bodied cigar is ideal if you know your hands will be busy handling tools or carrying things. And because it’s a 40 ring gauge cigar, you can naturally keep it between your teeth for a longer period of time than you would a robusto or a gordo. You can be smoking Partagas while working on your laptop, cleaning your grill, cooking dinner, reading a book, or even while drilling holes in a wall…

With hints of chocolate milk, summer flowers, and cedar, the Super Partagas goes well with coffee in the morning and gin in the afternoon. There’s a sweet creaminess to it, especially when you retrohale or blow out the smoke slowly — like you should.

Casa Turrent Cuba Cigar Review

Have a Cigar: Casa Turrent Cuba

Name: Casa Turrent Cuba

Country: Mexico

Shape: Parejo

Size: Robusto (5 1/2 inches x 54)

Strength: Medium to Full

The Casa Turrent Cuba is a superior cigar, rich in flavor. I smoked it while enjoying Lebanese meze and arak with family and friends.

Before lighting the cigar, I could smell hints of caramel, salt, and pepper. The first and last few draws were somewhat peppery. The middle part was woody and nutty… and, of course, as smooth as can be.

Have a Cigar: Don Rafa Robusto Habano

Name: Don Rafa Robusto Habano

Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Parejo

Size: Robusto (5 inches x 50)

Strength: Mild to Medium

Someone told me that Don Rafa cigars are “good and cheap, if you want to smoke them every day.” I got curious. Though I don’t plan on smoking the same cigar forever, I lit one to see what “good and cheap” means.

Don Rafa is an affordable cigar that tastes like the good break you need. Though a little earthy and peppery, it’s an easy-to-smoke cigar. Very casual. You can fire one up any time.
