I really enjoy the aged tobacco character in this cigar, even though other añejados have been slightly inconsistent.

I heard a few people from Habanos S.A., the global distribution company for Cuban cigars based in Havana, say that this thick cigar is made for the U.S. market because it is so light in flavor.

This cigar is still dominated by the dark wrapper like most limitadas when they are young.

A friend handed this cigar to me the other evening while I was eating outdoors on an island off the coast of Hong Kong called Lamma.

I had a 10-minute break so I decided to smoke a Partagas Serie D No. 6 (ring gauge 50 x 90 mm long). This is a short but thick cigar.

I love Cohiba in the morning. This tiny cigar – four inches long by 40 ring gauge – packs a lot of flavor for its size. Great smoke. Great morning smoke.

This was better with sandalwood, dried flowers and a delicate tobacco character.

This little cigar delivers wonderful spice and dark chocolate character. Full body, fresh and inviting.

This at one time was the biggest selling premium Cuban cigar in the world. It was synonymous with Cuban cigars in such countries as Spain.

This is the most popular premium cigar sold in Cuba to visitors. A spicy smoke with cappuccino and cinnamon character shows the richness and balance I expect in a Serie D.

I have been a little disappointed.

This is a great cigar as always.
