Product Introduction
The Partagás Serie D No. 6, released in 2014, is a Petit Robusto cigar from Cuba. It comes in a pack of 5. With a size of 90 x 20 mm, it can be smoked in about 15 - 25 minutes.
Appearance
The wrapper leaf is smooth with few fine veins, has an oily sheen, and is medium - brown with a golden glow. The red band has a simplistic, bold design. It has a triple cap. Rating: 4/5.
Construction
The pre - light draw gives a sweet preview of flavors. The draw is neither tight nor loose throughout. The burn was initially a bit uneven but self - corrected. The ash is medium grey and clings to the end. Rating: 4.5/5.
Flavor
- One third: Starts with a strong pepper blast, then natural tobacco, coffee, chocolate, with hints of leather, wood, and earth. The pepper leaves a burn in the throat.
- Two thirds: Flavors get stronger and bolder, and the pepper comes back.
- Three thirds: Flavors continue to strengthen, and the harshness declines. It's full - bodied. Rating: 3.75/5.
Value
At $8 - 10 each for a 15 - 25 - minute smoke, it's a bit pricey. Rating: 3/5.
Overall, despite great construction and appearance, the flavors can be overwhelming. With aging, it may become more balanced and enjoyable.
