I recently had my first P2, and the hype on this stick was well deserved until I hit the half way mark!
Cigar had a beautiful rich brown wrapper with minor veins and no soft spots; much darker than my recently bought PSD4s. Pre-light aroma was coca and cedar. Easily light up with good draw. Cigar was fantastically flavorful and smooth, somewhat sweet, earthy and developed into Spice, some wood, somewhat floral, a lot of flavor, complex for sure. Burn required 1 touchup (I blame this on my friends lighter – flames from hell :laugh: ). As I said before P2 Started with spice and cream, and melded its way into earth and wood and Havana twang, boy I was in heaven for the first half. The last half started to get harsh and little ammonia came through. Perhaps, I was smoking it to fast. After few purges the ammonia taste went away. However, the flavor completely changed to charred wood and nothing more. This was a young cigar so it might not have matured completely. I was ready to pull the trigger when I was smoking the first half; it was the best Partagas I had ever smoked. However, the second half put doubts in my head.
I need to smoke few more before I go that route. Anyone have any extra ones I could try out? :whistling:
