The Partagás Serie D No. 5 is a robusto measuring 110 mm with a 50 ring gauge, wrapped in a beautifully glossy milk chocolate-colored wrapper.
It boasts a perfect fill and a smooth touch. The cold draw reveals dry wood and black pepper notes, with a good draw.
The first third delivers a direct draw with a broad, balanced attack. Dominant are rich notes of precious wood, especially powerful red cedar, accompanied by spices. The strength is well measured, paired with a heavy, fragrant smoke.
In the second third, the cigar remains boldly flavorful with leather and red pepper notes but softens with hints of fresh cocoa, leaving a beautiful impression on the palate.
The final third evolves around dried fruits like walnuts and sustained spices. The entire experience is very harmonious, balanced, and robust.
This classic Cuban robusto has earned its highest rating this year after two years at four and a half rings. A rich, powerful cigar with a seductive personality and a successful performance.
