Partagas Demi Tip 1981

What an interesting little smoke, the Partagas Demi Tip. I thought it unusual to see a plastic tip on a Cuban cigar, however I liked it nonetheless. The tip was quite sturdy and attached well with the wrapper very coarse and a bit spongy. The draw through the tip was perfect and had a strange taste which I attributed to the plastic.

I lit the foot and let me tell you, one only need take a tiny sip from the tip! This was a powerhouse of a smoke! It definitely had the traditional profile of Partagas with vanilla, wood, citrus zest, and black pepper spice. I was amazed at the amount of smoke that was absolutely pouring from this cigar.

The burn was perfect with a dark gray ash and at the halfway mark (which didn’t take long at all to reach) the pepper spice died down a good bit and the smoke became very smooth with a nice, clean finish. My wife stepped out and immediately said it smelled just like I was smoking weed. With the head rush I was getting from the power, I might as well have been.

This was an awesome little cigar, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tip as it really concentrated the smoke, and when I say concentrated I mean really concentrated. Big surprises definitely come in small packages!

Interesting looking stick. Nice review, great pics - thanks... DT

That is cool. I've never seen a Cuban with the tip on it. Glad it tasted much better than the tipped cigars I've seen (Swisher sweet, lol)

I love those demitips. I've had a couple of boxes and for a novelty, it's pretty awesome. Nice straight forward tobacco taste and really surprising how strong they can be for a cheap cigar with 25+ years on them!

Good review for a smoke we don't see too often.

I hear '81 was a good year for Cuban plastic! :thumbs:

No really, thanks for sharing. I've never seen one before!

What a cool looking stick.

Very interesting! I have a bunch of these that I don't think I have ever tried. I more or less have them as decoration on this little ledge in my humidor. I will have to pull one down and give it a try. Thanks for the review! :thumbs:

Very interesting little cigar! Thanks for the review.
