Partagas - Princess

Slender, elegant and delightful, these cigars are medium in strength and body and perhaps a little milder than the normal Partagas style. Very well balanced and full of earthy flavours, underscored with ginger and cinnamon.

20-40mn smoke. Drink match: Anything light (ie prob. too mild for whisky)
Size: "Conchitas" - Length: 5"; Ring Gauge: 34 (127mm x 13.89mm)
From a box dated May 2008.

Brand info: Don Jaime Partagas started manufacturing cigars in 1827. Evelyn Waugh mentioned this cigar in Brideshead Revisited and Partagas cigars won gold medals in at least three international exhibitions between 1867 and 1884. They are still produced in the Partagas factory, renamed Fernando Perez after nationalisation. Partagas cigars are medium-full bodied, well balanced and rich in flavour.

Comment on this post with your own experience of these cigars.
