Partagas.... - Page 2

WittyUserName · 08-31-2011, 08:53 AM

I got a 10 pack of Partagas Spanish Rosado from CI and have had nothing but great smokes. You just have to be cognizant that they come in a little over humidified and let them sit and adjust.

I have been ordering from CI for at least 3 years now and have not had any major (cracking, smashed, beetles, mold) problems at all.

I've bought a few boxes and samplers from CI before, never had issues. I did buy a bundle of the Gran Habanos Vintage 2002s but I was forewarned to let them sit out for a week or 2 before putting them in the humidor since they came a bit wet. I did smoke one that was still too wet and it was a failure. But other than that, the advice I got from a buddy about letting them sit for awhile helped me not ruin the smokes. I just had to wait it out.

Im mostly a CC guy myself now, but the Party Blacks are actually one of my fav NC sticks.
Maybe Ive just been lucky with them?

I've ordered a lot of stuff from CI. Never had any complaints, other than the humidity. I just let the boxes/bundles/fivers sit out on top of the humi for a good week.

Can't say anything for the Partagas NC. Can't remember them being HORRIBLE, can't remember any draw issues. But then again, I've only smoked a couple NC Partagas. Definitely not enough to make a blanket judgement about the line.
