Quick Smoke: Partagas Black Label Maximo
18 Aug 2007
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.

Great smokers think alike. I just fired up the Black Label Bravo on Thursday. Outstanding smoke! Take a look at my review. I think I am gonna fire up another one tonight.
As they say, 1 is too many and 12 ain't enough.
Have great weekend.
Disposal? I like to think of my cigars as “retiring” 😉 Seriously though, this is a great cigar. Sometimes I get an almost raisiny or pruny flavor from the sweetness of the maduro wrapper. Anyone else?
