Cifuentes Summer Selection 2005 Agosto

In their continuing tribute to legendary cigar maestro Ramon Cifuentes who developed the Partagas brand, cigar masters Daniel Nuñez and Benji Menendez have added another gem to the Partagas line. The Partagas brand is particularly well-known for its consistent quality and bold tobacco flavors. Especially sought-after are the limited edition seasonal Cifuentes blends. The Seasonal Blend Fall 2004 was a big hit for General Cigar who followed up with the Summer Selection 2005. Both are now known for their powerful line ups-keeping us at the club looking forward to a 2006 release! The Agosto figurado we're featuring may be small in stature, but it packs a medium-to-full-bodied punch. Note the attractive San Agustin Honduran wrapper with its lovely chestnut-brown hue. This leaf, in combination with filler leaves from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico and rare leaves from the Nicaraguan island of Ometepe, provides an aromatic, woodsy, lightly floral burn aroma. Due to their seasonal nature, these are one-of-a-kind cigars that will not be replicated. Expect notes of rich tobacco flavor with an earthy feel and an aromatic finish. As the cigar builds toward the bulge in the figurado, the spice will kick in to its fullest. Holds up well against single malt scotch.
