Partagas cigars are among the most famous Cuban-legacy brands made today. Partagas cigars date back to Cuba in 1845, but the blend that’s made in the Dominican Republic has been around over forty-five years, and it’s occupied shelf space in premium retailers around the world the entire time. Partagas cigars handmade in the Dominican Republic are drawn from a toothy Cameroon wrapper leaf and a marriage of vintage Dominican and Mexican long-filler tobaccos. This consistent, old-school smoke layers the palate with notes of wood, earth, and baking spices with a malty texture and hints of cocoa. Add a famous name brand, that’s become somewhat of a basic utility cigar over the years, to your regular rotation. Partagas cigars enjoy a lengthy history of ratings, including a 92-point score from the critics in Cigar Aficionado.
