in (Limerick) Review V | Partagas Project
(5th review, 6th overall installment)
As advertised* here's (shortly) a quick (perhaps doggerel) limerick I composed in ode to the Paragas Anejo as part of my on-going Partagas Project... in particular to the offering I am now smoking. I apologize for formatting issues, as depending on your screen, intended line breaks may suffer (as may you simply by reading). I have decided against double-spacing because it looks odd. Please keep in mind the capitalization of each beginning line, the AABBA rhyme screen, and this blog's general lo-fi & lovely aesthetics.
WRAPPER: Cameroon/Connecticut Shade
BINDER: Dominican
FILLER: Mexican, Dominican
FORMAT: Petit Robusto (4.5x49)
ORIGIN: General Cigar Dominicana
INTENSITY: Medium
There once was a well-aged cigar named Anejo.
Partagas said '98 and '13 leaf, I said LET'S GO!
(There's new leaf too, that is Mexican--
I feel it helps said old leaf to flex again.)
Tangy-sweet floral but also more macho than mellow.
TASTE: A-
DRAW: B+
BURN: A-
BUILD: A-
FINAL GRADE: A-
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79
During this currently on-going 'Partagas Project' I will be writing somewhat of a weekly review of the Partagas Anejo in its Petit Robusto iteration. Each of these 10 reviews will be written of a different offering (same viola/box). Time-wise, then, this won't speak overly to the aging process (these are quite 'anejo' anyway) but mainly toward the idea of consistency.
That, and to my immense talents as both taster and writer. Author, even.
Each review will be written (authored) in a different style, which may be of some sort of benefit, if not boon, unto itself. Also, the Overview will be a recapitulative culmination as well as deeper dive into the components of this cigar, and of this series, as required at that point.
