[...] flavorful and complex, but also nimble and refined. I’ve heard the Cabaiguan compared to the Partagas Serie D No 4, but I think another top Cuban, the Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill, might be a better [...]

Sounds like the cigar may have been a little “wet.” Cubans are best kept at between 60-65% humidity, instead of the “recommended” 70%.

Just a thought.

[...] Unlike Partagas Cubans, the Romeo y Julieta band is very similar to its Dominican-made, completely unrelated counterpart that’s legally available in the U.S. Looks like Altadis went to great lengths to bear as many similarities to the Cuban-manufactured Romeos as possible. [...]

I forgot to mention that the Romeo Y Julieta Short Churchill is an awesome smoke! You have to try it! Way better than the Partagas!

Living in SoCal I am able to obtain Authentic Cuban Cigars from Mexico. Only buy from La Casa Del Habano in Tijuana since it’s the only Habanos S.A. authorized dealer per their website. If you buy a cigar from a local street merchant then yes they are more than likely fake. I prefer the Montecristo Edmundo or the Hoyo de Monterey Epicure No.2 over the Partagas Serie D No. 4.

I feel a little vindicated by your review, Patrick. I had a similarly disappointing experience with my box, which was mid-2005 production, as did a buddy who got a box at roughly the same time from a different source. When I posted a review to that effect, some posters also challenged the authenticity of the stick. I harbor no conspricacy theories. I just think it came from a sub-par production spell from Partagas. For all I know, the ones coming off the roller’s bench today live up to the big D4 rep. The ones I got simply didn’t.

I’ve had more burn issues with large ring Cuban Cigars than I do with their Coronas and smaller. I don’t think their quality control is the greatest.
