Partagas brings that downhome Cuban character to this fine collection which, at-a-glance, looks remarkably like the renowned Cuban Partagas Serie D cigars. Master blender, Jhonys Diaz, and his team created the blend more than ten years ago, patiently saving it for a special release, and each of the tobaccos in the Heritage blend tells a story of the brand, while channeling flavor nuances from some of the brand's most popular releases.
The recipe begins with a mid-priming, Honduran estate-grown wrapper leaf developed by Diaz and the Plasencia family exclusively for the Heritage collection. Grown in the rich volcanic soil of the Olancho San Agustin (OSA) Valley, this reddish leaf is reminiscent of the wrapper used on the Partagas Spanish Rosado. The binder is a naturally sweet Connecticut Broadleaf that frames a well-balanced mix of Honduran Jamastran leaves and the same Dominican Piloto Cubano and Mexican San Andres tobaccos used for the Partagas 160.
The result is a rich and complex flavor profile that defies any preconceptions you may have about comparisons to Cuban Partagas cigars. The wrapper imparts complexity and a touch of sweetness, while the core blend issues layers of earthy spice, sweet cedar and subtle notes of cinnamon.
Presented in simply-designed varnished boxes with a gold embossed label, and those "familiar-looking" red bands, this is one Partagas cigar you don't want to miss. Add this impressive tribute to one of the world's most revered premium cigars to your prized cigar collection today.
