Although deriving financial gain through the construction of exotics is life's priority, it is necessary to occasionally recluse oneself from the market in order to reflect upon past conquests. Meditation is vital to the wagering process, as it allows the player to rebalance in response to the changing landscape. Before any strategizing session, I opt to consult my resident tobacconist at Up Down Tobacco. She recently suggested I enjoy one of Honduras’s finest products, and no it was not the folly of the most recent banana republic coup d'état. Rather it was company of the Partagas camp’s Spanish Rosado, one of the tastier rosados available today. The first thing one will notice is that this cigar passes the eye test with flying colors. The Honduran wrapper is ruddy and oily with strong vein protrusions still present, a credit to the rich valley from which it is harvested. The prelit draw has a sweet citrus taste with a hint of pumpkin spice at the end, a general signal that the smoke will edge toward the medium end of the spectrum. This was confirmed upon lighting, with the same mild tastes complementing each easy draw. This is definitely a great summer cigar and should be allotted at minimum three-quarters of an hour. It can be smoked down to the nubs and will never get harsh.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
