PARTAGAS – CULEBRAS (BOX OF 9)

Culebras was produced as part of La Casa del Habano (LCDH). This is a strange cigar to be found in the Partagas family, distinctly woody earthy. They were allowed to have 3 twisted cigars to take with them, tied on the tips just coming from the roller’s bench (when the cigars were still wet) thus resembling a snake (culebra) This brand that stands out for its unique flavor and character, its high quality standards at every stage and a brand image with lot of character, elegance and tradition is bringing this size back, now totally made by hand. Culebras are packed in a semi plain box containing 3 individual slide lid boxes comprising the 3 twisted cigars, gently tied with a thin red ribbon.

Taste Note
Perfect few cold draw with slightest hint of barnyard but no really distinct taste. The 1st third was a shot of spice and very mild earth, upon hitting the second third the flavor came on with very strong wood, cedar and the earth taste was still there. The spice hung on and stayed dominant. The final third was spicy, some leathery tones and very full-flavored, never overwhelming but a kick none the less. This stick will give you as much nicotine sting as you want in the final third. The grayish and black ash only lasted about an inch at a time.
