Wondering about this smoke. 6.70 x 43 in a cab of 25. A little pricey but not too bad. I've been eyeballing a box with some age. The following review caught my eye....

"A very intense cigar with a very invasive aroma. Take the 8-9-8 Varnish and amplify the flavors, and richness by a factor of 10, make it very heavy and heady with almost more intense flavors than can be handled by ones palatte all at once and you have the Privada N° 1. Definitely to follow a heavy meal".
Also been called a luxury 898.

Hype....BS.....or about right

I think these only come in dress boxes. A superior smoke

Awesome cigar. One of my favs & only come in dress boxes of 25

Thanks guys! I assumed ( I hate that word! u) they were cabs when I saw this ......"Bundle of 25 in a wood box".
Sounds like a good one to pull the trigger on with these recommendations!

Hmm!
Got my attention.

Looks like I'm in for a box to try.

BTW, the Partagas 898 varnished along with the Partagas Lonsdale (Cabinet) are among two of my favorites.

I was just thinking about these today. I wonder if the recent production are good. I'm down to my last 3 or 4 and need to reorder. Wish I could get some more from 97.

I smoked one from 97 (thanks poker) and it was so good I almost fell out of my chair
