Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No. 3 Review:
A smaller cigar than its brothers in this series. It is a really good cigar but not as interesting as the other Connaisseur cigars. A good way to get into the 898 format.

Review #8:  Cigar looked good, lit well but cigar was plugged!!! NO smoke at all.... tried to massage it, even inserted a long match all the way through the body of the cigar, nothing could be done... Flavours seemed nice though... I have to scrore it low for this construction failure, but will definitely give this series another try some day - Submitted by Smokin' Phil on April 13, 2007
Review #7: At a nominal rating of 7, this cigar is absurdly under-rated. It has all of the virtues of its bigger brothers, in a petit package. With five or more years of box age, it shows sweet chocolate nuances, mixed with cinnamon spice. A real treat! - Submitted by shrink on April 2, 2007
Review #6: Just opened a box of OSU EO00 (09/99). Firstly, I have to say that these are the most beautiful cigars I have ever seen. I love the vitola, slender and just perfectly proportioned. A silky, deep brown and very oily wrapper - with a hint of bloom - that is a delight to roll between your fingers is the first thing I noticed. Secondly, there is the scent - sweet and floral. Smoking it was even better. An extremely creamy, sugary sweet smoke with nuts, cinnamon and a little flowers. The construction and draw was the best I have ever encountered in a cigar, Cuban or non-Cuban, with a shockingly slow burn - it took me a good 80 minutes to smoke. The ash was peculiar - totally black. I smoked it down to under a centimetre, and the finish was perfect, adding some pepper to the smoke. The only fault this cigar has, if any, is a slight lack of complexity. But I don't think it is that kind of cigar, just a lush and luxurious smoke that I will never forget. And I still have 23 left in my humidor. Don't know if newer production is as good as these obviously are, but if you can find a box with a few years on its back, buy it. - Submitted by Sortemand on March 23, 2007
Review #5: I was so impressed with the larger versions (#1 and #2)--and a similar "blind tasting" of this smaller version that I picked-up a box of RSE FEB01's. Right off the truck this cigar performed beautifully! Creamy beyond belief. A ton of smoke and old-style Partagas flavors. A tad "wet" however and I'm sure they will only improve with some proper storage. Excellent smoke! - Submitted by Shooter on January 25, 2007
Review #4: I smoked one the other night that was a blind taste test. great cigar. Spicy and it had a great nose and long finish.
Burned like a dream and provided volumes of smoke.
A real treat!! - Submitted by La Gloria on July 15, 2006
