Partagas 1845 Cifuentes Y Cia(black and gold label)

Partagas 1845 Cifuentes Y Cia(black and gold label)
Oh my, I really like this cigar. I had a maduro wrapper, corona chape. It was perfectly aged and the wrapper was oily and rich in flavor. This cigar is medium bodied and the flavor was absolutely delicious. The flavor was floral and a hint of cedar. It has great structure. The ash held for a long time.
Additional info about this cigar's line:This brand is named for it's founder, Don Jaime Partagas, who began manufacturing cigars in 1827, but put his own name on his line of cigars in 1845. After his death, the brand passed to Ramon Cifuentes in 1889 and was owned by Cifuentes y Cia. prior to nationalization, earning a mention by name in English novelist Evelyn Waugh's 1945 work, Brideshead Revisited. Partagas cigars also won gold medals in at least three international expositions between 1867 and 1884. There is no doubt about the strong, intense flavour of this line and it is still produced in the Partagas factory, renamed Fernando Perez after nationalization.
