For this installment of the Partagas Project, I'll be using a flavor wheel from the Cigar World website. There are no small amount of flavor wheels available, but I found this one to be on a manageable scale. Please note also my methodology which is this: beginning at the center-bullseye, I follow the flow to the next layer of notes, citing all that pertain. As I said, there are larger, more tiered wheels. They are to be operated in the same manner, working out from in, following the detected flavors.
