Partagas Corona
Origin: Cuba
Size: 5.25 X 42
Wrapper: Natural

From Pablamos Cigars:
Flor de T. Partagas cigars have been a staple diet of Habanos lovers ever since the beginning of time. Well, maybe not quite the beginning of time, but with an inauguration date of 1845, Flor de T. Partagas cigars are amongst the oldest and best known of the Habanos brands. The cigar and the famous factory in which it is still made take their name from Don Jaime Partagas, a Spaniard from Catalunya who emigrated to Cuba and opened a small factory in La Habana in 1827.

Notes:

A round well made cigar with no blemishes on any of the wrappers. Cigars of this size in Cuba are usually either totally machine made or made with the filler bunched with a machine and the rest finished by hand. This cigar falls into the latter category. They are relatively inexpensive at about $4 a stick and represent one of the best buys for Havanas. Unlit, the cigar has a nice leathery aroma about it. When lit the first puffs greet you with a full bodied and full aroma smoke. Most Hondurans or Nicaraguans, that advertise themselves to be Cuban like, begin full and then either the flavor profile falls completely flat or they get harsh and unsmokeable. Not so with this one. It maintains its full flavor for some time before evening out. It never becomes flat in flavor, but rather changes its profile. About 2/3\'s of the way down the strength kicks back up and remains full bodied to the end. This is a cigar that you can smoke to the nub. I have smoked an entire box and have yet to find one that was plugged or had any draw issues. If you like a reasonably priced full bodied, spicy cigar from Cuba then check these out.
