Product Introduction
Originating from Cuba, the Partagás Serie C No. 3 was released in 2012 as a limited - edition cigar. It is hand - made and has a Grand Corona format, sized 140 x 20 mm (5.5 x 48). The tobacco for the filler, binder, and wrapper was aged for two years. Each cigar costs over $20.
Appearance
It has a rating of 4/5. With a smaller ring gauge, it fits comfortably in the hand. The wrapper is a shade - grown Tapado leaf, medium - dark brown with a few prominent veins. It has two red and gold bands with simple designs, indicating the model and that it's a 2012 limited edition.
Construction
Rating: 3/5. The construction seems solid. The draw is good, the burn is relatively even but fast, and the ash holds well. However, there are issues with smoke production.
Flavor
Rating: 2.5/5.
- One third: Flavors include cedar, leather, spices, and a woodsy note. The smoke body is strong.
- Two thirds: Still potent, with flavors of cedar, nuts, and coffee.
- Three thirds: Similar to the middle, with a hint of sweetness and a return of full - strength smoke.
Value
Rating: 2.5/5. At over $20 per stick, it's expensive. Although some people like it, the reviewer doesn't think it's worth the price.
Overall, the only impressive aspect is the appearance. The reviewer prefers the Partagás Serie E No. 2 and doesn't recommend this cigar for its high price and underwhelming experience.
