Partagas Cigars 1845 Clasico in Review

WRAPPER: Ecuadorian Habano
BINDER: Connecticut Habano
FILLER: Dominican, Nicaraguan

FORMAT: Churchill (749)
ORIGIN: Dominican Republic
INTENSITY: Medium-Full

NOTES:
White peppercorn | Nuttiness | Cream

Spicy, nutty, and creamy. A super-consistent profile that just keeps chugging easily along with a big tick of a kick to keep ya honest. A bit edgy even through those malty dollops. Spices are sweet, pale, sharp, and driving; white peppercorn leads that array. Nuts are peanut and cashew brittle. Cream is simply that, unmovingly-so, not even toasting via progression. There's also a thick somewhat hidey leather.

Under and back are dried apricots and softwoods, then chicken coop. Spicy that up and keep the leatheriness going sweetly, that'd be the aroma. Since the aroma is a product of the burn, I should note said burn operates in an excellent manner. It's not dead-even but is self-correcting all but once. Pacing is languid. Ash stacks in a pale sheath. Draws with a tick of resistance in line with the vitola. Assemblage is flawless.
