Appearance
The Serie D No. 3 is a corona gorda. It has an intense brown wrapper with oil, is box - pressed and hard to the touch. There is a light bloom. It has a typical “serie” red Partagas band and a second limitada band. Rating: 4.5/5.
Construction
One cigar was almost plugged, another had a tight draw, and one smoked fine. It burned well and produced a comfortable amount of smoke. Rating: 3.5/5.
Flavor
- Pre - light: It exhaled an animal flavor and a taste close to tabasco when the cap was wet.
- First third: It started mild with basic woody flavors.
- Second third: It became more powerful with spice at the back of the throat and heavy earthy flavors.
- Last third: Toasted notes were added to the flavor. Rating: 4/5.
Value
It's hard to judge the value of a limited - edition cigar. Rating: 3.5/5.
The cigar costs around $14 each. The author bought some in Madrid for 11 € each. It has an ageing potential and may be really good in 3 - 4 years.
