Quick Smoke: Partagas Black Label Maximo

This beauty may take the prize for the slowest burning cigar I’ve had. From light to disposal, it lasted for more than an hour and a half – extraordinary for a six inch by 50-ring gauge stogie. And every minute was enjoyable. In addition to complementing the taste of the ligero filler, the thick Medio Tempo Connecticut wrapper seemed to account for much of the slow burn. An incredibly smooth cigar, the smoke was thick and creamy with a light finish. With tastes of leather, coffee, and fine tobacco, it was most satisfying, though not overly complex cigar. I paid $5.90 for the stick. Boxes of 20 run a little over $75 on the web.

Verdict = Buy.
