Partagas Black Label

In order to create Partagas Black Label, Ramon’s successor and his colleagues at General Cigar spent 10 years perfecting the Medio Tempo wrapper and the La Vega Especial binder. Cuban-seed Medio Tempo wrappers are darker, heavier and richer than other wrappers because they are harvested only after they have been allowed to age on their plants 50% longer than other wrapper leaves. The La Vega Especial binder is sun-grown in the Dominican Republic to give it a deep, rich flavor of its own. To enhance the cigar"s full-bodied character even further, the blend is a mixture of Nicaraguan Ligero and Dominican Piloto Cubano Ligero. These tobaccos and a larger ring gauge translate into a richer, fuller-bodied flavor.

Partagas Spanish Rosada

Partagas Spanish Rosado is dressed in a proprietary San Agustin Honduran wrapper which imparts a spicy taste with notes of cinnamon, and burns to a beautiful white ash. This medium-to full-bodied cigar is a must-have for seasoned cigar smokers and was praised as a “Best Buy” by Cigar Insider.

Partagas

The secret of today"s rich Partagas cigars lies in their wrapper leaves. Grown in Cameroon, the Central West African country where the steaming, sub-tropical climate unique to the fourth parallel is ideal for growing superb wrapper leaves, Cameroon wrappers have no equals for rich flavor. Indeed, Ramón Cifuentes determined that he could begin producing his Partagas cigars again only after he had discovered, years after the Cuban embargo had begun, that the best wrapper leaves were being grown in Cameroon rather than in Cuba.
