In La Casa del Habano on Fadeev his fourth tasting Moscow cigar cigar club and the Russian Union within a tasting cigar series, produced for the worldwide network toby of boutiques La Casa del Habano. This time we smoked, perhaps the most offbeat Havana - Partagas Culebras. And, looking ahead, I want to tell you that this cigar us all extremely surprised and even shocked. With all my experience I have collective tastings never seen a cigar, which looks more like a souvenir, put such great ratings: out of 13 ratings the lowest was 90 and the highest 100, ie maximum!
Culebra - three cigars intertwined toby in a pigtail. The rare case when both commercial and factory names coincide Culebra. Format owes its origins to rule the cigar factories of the XIX century, when torsedor toby allowed to take them out of their share of cigars - as a natural part of the salary. So says Wikipedia. Allow myself to doubt. Most workers were allowed to take a few defective cigars that once transplanted into a pigtail, so as not to confuse them with cigars that are not intended to take away.
In his e-mail list, to which I usually toby resort to invite fellow cigar aficionado on tasting, I translated the name of this vitolas from Spanish as "snake." And almost immediately got a call from Vyacheslav Kirsanova, the creator and owner of the cigar brand Kirsanoff, who corrected me: snake in Spanish - serpiente, and culebra in Russian - it. But I decided toby to go through and consult with our expert on the Spanish toby club Sergei Antonov. About me, he said: and serpiente, culebra and there are snakes. But word serpiente indicate poisonous toby snakes, and culebra `nonpoisonous snakes in E, including snakes (as well as, for example, pythons and even anacondas).
During the tasting, which is traditionally held in the free mode, we were talking about how much "Culebra" we have currently in the Cuban cigar portfolio. So, now exactly one Culebra - Partagas Culebras. What was in this format in Cuba in the past, we could not remember. However, some of us remember some of Culebra from other countries toby and other brands.
As usual, at the end we put the cigar tasting evaluation, which it at any given moment and in this particular company aficionado deserves. So it was this time. And evaluation, as mentioned above, have been very high. Because cigar was extremely tasty.
Total collective assessment Partagas Culebras - 95 points out of 100! Moreover, this time, as in the past our tasting lakasovskih cigars, everyone present gave a definition of smoked cigar exactly toby one word (some two). On the evening was attended by 13 people and that their words about Partagas Culebras: Ilya Yudanov - 100 (!) Points - "ideal". Olesya Zakharik - 97 points - "openly straight" (and this despite the form!). Eduard Sukharev - 97 points - "snake bite." Vitaly Kozlov - 97 points - "excellent". toby Alexei Nekhoroshev - 96 points - "obbaldezhnaya!". Arthur Shilyaev - 95 points - the "real." Andrey Malinin - 95 points - "convex-concave". Anatoly Rychkov - 94 points - "praying mantis." Alexander Klepikov - 94 points toby - "but!". Olga Gushina - 93 points - "darling!". Dmitry Rychkov - 92 points "non-standard". Yuri Shaldyrvan - 92 points entertaning . Anton Gaidukov - 90 points - "good, everyday."
