Review #14: To the poster of Review #13, I believe that the cigars you received are likely counterfeits for several reasons. Most notably, Partagas uses a red ribbon rather than a yellow one. Also, they wrap their cigars in only one sheet of wax paper, not two. However, as long as you enjoy them, you should not worry. - Submitted by Kopeck Freiherr Von Balk on February 26, 2005
Review #13: Received a box of 25 for free, won a weekly drawing. The packaging was impressive, the varnished cabinet was packed in a cardboard box with a cuban warrenty seal applied at the cut in the box. The date was stamped on the bottom, from 03. The packaging of the cigars is impeccable 2 sheets of wax paper wrap the cigars. Then they are tied with a yellow silk ribbon and stacked 8-9-8 in the cabinet. The fit of the cabinet is perfect with very little room for the cigars to move in the cabinet. The aromas are unreal on the first opening of the cabinet, warm cuban cedar is the first aroma, then perfectly strong tobacco is the next scent, finished off with a pepper and cinnamon aroma. The pre light aromas are classic partagas The first light puff reveals a true classic, well aged tobacco nuances, mixed with freshly shaved chocolate, and ground espresso beans. The cost value of 250.00 USD is a bit high, but for a cigar of this callaber it is well worth it. I placed the whole bundle wribbon still on into the humidor, on the bottom shelf for long term aging. As i am writing this review i decided to light another, just as good as the one yesterday, even a bit more pronounced well aged tobacco flavors, come thru, with a tinge of saltieness. A classic partagas if ever there was one.

Review #11:  A superior- albeit extremely aggressive- cigar featuring a predominantly woody flavour, with notes of cocoa emerging towards the end. In its strength it could overwhelm even experienced smokers in certain circumstances (empty stomach, etc.), and should not be chosen frivolously. - Submitted by Kopeck Freiherr Von Balk on December 27, 2004
Review #10: The varnished Partagas 898 is my absolute favorite medium gauge cigar. It is possibly the most opulent-tasting cigar. The first few draws may be a little hard on the throat if you smoke it in the morning though due to its richness. I submitted the previous review (#7) in error. That one was for the unvarnished version. Varnished 8-9-8s are now in short supply. - Submitted by tang on November 2, 2004
