The Partagás Mille Fleurs is a petite corona measuring 129 mm with a 42 ring gauge, wrapped in a slightly dull colorado wrapper with a firm touch. The cold draw offers woody and vegetal notes with a good, easy draw.
Upon lighting, the first third delivers an autumnal atmosphere with thick, slightly spicy smoke, supported by solid combustion and draw. However, bitter hints detected in previous years persist in the second third, though they are somewhat balanced.
The final third sees an unchecked surge in strength and spice, causing the Mille Fleurs to lose its balance, finishing with a somewhat rough and astringent finale.
Despite being produced in large quantities and priced attractively, this cigar may not be the ideal introduction to Cuban cigars due to its lack of smoothness. For more seasoned smokers, it serves well as a reliable, everyday option.
