A 2000 Habanos to be proud of

[Mark Twain]

This Lonsdale came out of a cabinet of 50 cigars. It has a beautiful wrapper and an enticing pre-light smell. I’ve had several disappointments with 2000 wrappers burning funky and ruining the smoking experience. I expected nothing less from this, however, I have smoked a half dozen of these so far and I’ve found them to be incredible.

I’ve had no construction problems and no burn issues at all. I’ve had to rethink my prejudice against 2000 Habanos based upon the performance from this cabinet.

This Lonsdale was a powerhouse performer. The smoke carried the extremely dense flavor of rich coffee and the body of the cigar was exceptionally full. I would not want to smoke one of these young. I found the rich flavor and full body complementary of one another. This created a fairly unique smoking experience for a Cuban cigar. I’ve smoked through a box of R&J Cazadores and a cabinet of Cohiba Siglo Is and I can say that this Partagas Lonsdale was stronger with more intense flavor and a more defined finish, although this intensity took away some complexity. I only wonder if I can keep my hands off them long enough to age them for another year.
