Partagas Cigar
Partagas Cigar
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,
Ramon 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.
Partagas Black Label
Cigar
In order to create Partagas Black Label,
Daniel Nunez and his colleagues 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 Black Label is an espresso of
a cigar, extremely dark in color and extra rich in flavor. |
