Stogie Reviews: Partagas Black Clasico

The Partagas Black is a truly unique line of smokes. While not for everybody, I found this particular dark and peppery smoke truly exquisite.

I picked this up as part of the two for three special on general cigars at the Macanudo Ambassador event at Georgetown Tobacco. The black wrapper and classic Partagas band makes this particular stogie look quite distinct, as did its generous 54 ring size.

And while the cigar’s appearance makes it stand out in the humidor, this stogie can only fully be appreciated after enjoying its distinctive flavors, which are so unique they are difficult to properly describe. My best attempt: a warm, toasty-peppery essence.

And the flawless construction – even burn, white ash, and smooth draw – ensured that nothing distracted from the flavor.

Overall, I suggest that all you Stogie Guys go out and try this cigar at least once. Not everyone will be as impressed with this cigar’s flavor as I am, but if you like it half as much as I did, you won’t be disapointed. I enthusiastically give this cigar four out of five stogies.
