Product Introduction
The Partagás Serie D No.5 Limited Edition 2008 is a short, intense addition to the Serie D line, in the Petit Robusto format. It's hand - made with all leaves aged for at least two years and can be smoked immediately.
Appearance
It has an oily colorado wrapper that reflects sunshine well. The double - band has gold lines that fit the color palette. The cold aroma is good, with a rating of 4.5/5.
Construction
It needed to be touched up once and relit in the last third. Otherwise, it was well - filled and had a comfortable draw, rated 3.5/5.
Flavor
- One third: Starts with precious wood notes, very strong, making it hard to identify background sweetness like chocolate, vanilla, and honey.
- Two thirds: Black pepper combines well with the wood, and the smoke is ample and delicious.
- Three thirds: May seem a bit boring as the expected soothing sensation doesn't appear.
Compared to Serie D No. 4, it's less powerful and less balanced. It's rated 4/5.
Value
It's hard to justify paying $15 for a single. The current estimated value is $10, rated 3/5.
Origin: Cuba. Factory Name: Short Robusto. Weight: 11.66 g. Price: ~$15 each. Overall, it's a true Partagas and may smoke better in a few years.
