Partagas 150
 

I was at a B&M the other day and they still have 20 or so of these left at a price tag of $50. I was just curious if this is a good price on these? Thanks!-(P

Re: Partagas 150
 

Each or for all 20:r It's nice. Willing to pay 50 bucks for nice?

Re: Partagas 150
 

I passed on them as I could not fathom spending $50 on a single stick when I grabbed 5 LP9's for that price. Just was curious if this was a good price for them.

Re: Partagas 150
 

Pass. Sorry, but I can't even fathom spending that kind of money on one stick.

Re: Partagas 150
 

A very very good NC, IMHO...but not worth anywhere near $50.

Re: Partagas 150
 

Hmmm...$50/stick - What size? (JC)

CigarAuctioneer just posted 5 sticks of the Partagas 150 "C" (5 1/2 X 49) this morning,
and they are already $48.50-$50 in the first 4 hrs.

LMAO - Maybe my untouched P-150 RyR chest will finally pay me back :-)

***Personally, I've dropped less on a good Behike or Siglo VI...and would rather do that
than the P-150's :-)

Re: Partagas 150
 

Fake partagas not worth smoking IMHO they aint bad but they aint good either.

Better off with diesel or a bunch of AF Hemingway for that kinda money.

Re: Partagas 150
 

Holy crap!! That's highway robbery!

Re: Partagas 150
 

What do you mean by "fake partagas"?

To the Original Poster: Depending on the size you were looking at $50 is right in line with the SRP for the 150's.

Some of them retailed for around $70 a stick back in the day.

They're becoming exceedingly rare these days. Whether you want to smoke one or just have one for your collection it's definitely something to consider.

Re: Partagas 150
 

Non cuban partagas aka fake imposters.

They might be getting rare but they aint worth $50 each IMHO let alone 70.

Re: Partagas 150
 

Lot of money

Re: Partagas 150
 

Just because it's not a CC Partagas does NOT mean it's a fake cigar. I'm sorry but your comment might be the worse comment I've heard in a long time.

Re: Partagas 150
 

Who said it was a fake cigar i said it was a fake partagas a imposter.

And for the money people seem to be charging for a single one i found more pleasure in buying a entier box of AF short story maduros that cost a little more then i ever did in the single one of these i got.

Re: Partagas 150
 

You're full of awesomeness. Enjoy the this board.

Re: Partagas 150
 

I've smoked one and it was DAMNED GOOD. I don't think it was quite $50 good, but I wouldn't mind paying between $10-20 for one. There are some NC's that I wouldn't mind forking over $50 for at the right moment. Of course, I don't have $10 for a stick right now let alone $50.

Re: Partagas 150
 

Why does being a non-Cuban partagas make it an imposter/fake?

I believe your assessment of what is real and what is fake is somehow misguided.

Partagas 150 is a legitimate brand registered to General Cigar Company in the US.

Re: Partagas 150
 

Im sorry my words hurt you so much.....oh well.

Re: Partagas 150
 

Aside from the $50 price tag (or in spite of it), I'd also have some questions as at how they have been kept. Coming across a B&M that happens to have some of these rolling around in a box does not automatically give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Re: Partagas 150
 

I had a few of the Partagas 150s when they first came out. They were incredible sticks. Would I spend $50 on one? I wouldn't! But, that's because I'm tight. I will say that I wish I'd bought a few more of them (like a whole box) when they were about $6-$10 a stick. They were (and probably are) great smokes.

I also wouldn't spend $7 on a Short Story Maduro - I found them lackluster at best.

But, I only need to satisfy my tastes, and everybody else has to satisfy theirs.

So, each should smoke what makes their palate happy.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Partagas 150
 

So I guess all my Cohiba's, Partagas, Hoyo's, and Romeo NC's are all fakes. :rolleyes:

Re: Partagas 150
 

Yeah pretty much.

Look if you lot dont like what im saying thats fine but nothings going to stop me giving my opinion and in my opinion your non cuban hoyos,cohibas,bolivars and partagas are as fake as they come they are nothing like the originals but they cling on to the name.

[Insert sh*tstorm below]

Re: Partagas 150
 

They weren't in a box but rather in that mega chest that they came in back when they were released. They had 3 sizes left ranging from $42-50ish. Can't exactly remember which sizes they were though. I saw them when I was back visiting my folks over the holidays and went around to all the B&Ms to see what they all carried.

Re: Partagas 150
 

The one size I smoked was a robusto. It was tasty.

Re: Partagas 150
 

I've been getting screwed all these years?! Some one call the cops. I got a complaint.:rolleyes:

Re: Partagas 150
 

So, does your disdain for anything NOT cuban also apply to anyone that smokes non-cuban varieties of cuban labels? Sounds like it, even if that's not what you meant. BUT, since you expect a $hitstorm, maybe you do mean it! Hard to tell, that's for sure!

I'll keep right on smoking those cigars that I like, and disregard those that glare down their noses at us lowly NC smokers!

;s

Re: Partagas 150
 

Why do you even post on the non-Cuban board then?

Re: Partagas 150
 

WEEEEEEEE-WOOOOOOO WWEEEEWOOOOOO

I can't see Reavers point making any sense.

Based on that logic, a CD with the swear words edited out is a FAKE IMPOSTER of the non-edited one.

Albeit, it's the same artist and everything.

I hope he's just joking...:rolleyes:

Re: Partagas 150
 

Amen Cliff! Preach it!:banger

Re: Partagas 150
 

Just curious but what are the ones you would pay 50 or more for a NC?

Re: Partagas 150
 

Nope i just dont like the brands i dont care what people smoke and all in all they make some good cigars the partagas with the near black wrapper (i forget the name) being a semi regular choice for me i just think if they had completely abandoned what they where and started a fresh they would of been a whole lot better.

But hay thats just me and BTW as a Englishman do you really think i would come to a American board and ask questions/write reviews about non-cubans if i was one of those people who looks down upon people who smoke NC cigars.

Re: Partagas 150
 

I also think you guys need to go easy on Simon. One of the things I have enjoyed about this place is that people are not too sensitive. We all can type things that can be misinterpreted. We may even say something that someone disagrees with but we don't need to make them out to be the devil.

relax and let's enjoy!

Re: Partagas 150
 

Because i can as you dont like it block me.

Re: Partagas 150
 

The Arturo Fuente Annivexario, in the right situation. If I was at a B&M out of town, the setting was nice, and I had the cash. For me, the Anniverxario rivals as one of the tip-top smokes I've had, NC or otherwise. I have dropped $30 plus on each on a few before, $40 each on a pair of PAdron Millenniums, $33 each on Lost City Lanceros and LFD Salomones. The right smoke will command the right price from me, if I have the cash.

That Annivexario is really something quite different. AF puts out good smokes anyway, but when they really get crackin', they get CRACKIN"!
I couldn't agree more.:tu I'll give a ring gauge bump to that!

Re: Partagas 150
 

I literally laughed out loud. Best post I've seen in a while! :lr

Re: Partagas 150
 

I thought I remembered smoking some of those...

The short version? Don't waste your money. The wrapper is now 35 years old on those cigars.

Dude get your panties out of a wad, It was a question as this is the fake cigar board.

I think we need another duck over here.

Re: Partagas 150

Re: Partagas 150
 

The one I had was tasteless.Like drawing air. :2

Re: Partagas 150
 

When smoking a genuine Partagas, by chance have you ever tasted hints of 7 year aged burnt Madagascar vanilla?

Re: Partagas 150
 

When they came out I did not think they were that incredible at all, but just a sales pitch about some wrappers found in Spain sitting around. Partagas Limited Reserve on-the-other-hand were excellent cigars and among the best NC's of the era. How the 150's are now? I have no idea. Would be curious to try one, but not at $50.00. $20 for a decent size one, then sure!

Re: Partagas 150
 

I had the exact same experience with the 160. Tossed it half way, there was no flavor. Or maybe it was the 150, either way It was the most boring cigar I've ever had.

Re: Partagas 150
 

I had a couple 150's a long time ago & wasn't impressed at all.
