Partagas Padre (6.0" x 50)

I have had family in town and despite the fact I was smokin some cigars I didn't want to seem rude to run and write about it. I had the joy of smoking a Partagas Padre. It's  african cameroon wrapper with dominican and mexican filler was flawless with no soft spots. It was a hearty 6 inches and 50 ring gauge. pre-light draw was perfect and sweet. Upon lighting it erupted into a blissful symphony of wood and coffee with occasional earthy tones. It was a pleasantly consistent smoke that left a sweet taste on the lips after draw. The burn was mostly even with a touch-up or two from the torch. with a 6" long smoke it's not too uncommon to have to touch it up a bit. I picked mine up in the Cigars Internationals sizzler sampler no.8 which i do believe i have mentioned before. box price for these alone in padre size with tubes comes out to around 4 bucks a stick.
