Partagás Serie D No. 5

The Partagás Serie D No. 5 opens with a bold medium-to-full-bodied profile, delivering an immediate mix of rich cedar, dark cocoa, and espresso bean accented by a subtle black pepper spice. The retrohale amplifies the opening with earthy minerality, baking spice, and a hint of dried fig, creating depth and warmth. As the cigar transitions into the second third, flavors of leather, roasted almond, and bittersweet chocolate emerge, complemented by a creamy undertone that smooths the spice. The final third intensifies with concentrated coffee bean, charred oak, and lingering dark cacao, leaving a long, satisfying finish with a refined balance of sweetness and spice.
