Cuban Cigars

Partagas Serie E No.2 Gran Reserva

The Gran Reserva Series is one of the most illustrious in the world of Cuban cigars. The Partagás Serie E No.2 Cosecha 2015 represents the second time Partagas has been featured in it, so far a unique achievement...

As with all Gran Reserva, the tobacco leaves used to create these magnificent sticks have been aged for a minimum of 5 years after harvest.  The Serie E No. 2 is presented in the grand Duke vitola, measuring 54 ring gauge by 140mm in length, and will deliver the traditional full-strength flavours of this ancient and illustrious Marca for over 90 minutes.

Only 5,000 boxes of this edition - each stunningly crafted in black lacquer, individually numbered, and containing 15 ultra-premium cigars - have been made.  They will be keenly sought after by collectors across the globe.

Ramon Allones No.3

The Cigar

It’s been quite some time since Ramon Allones has received an addition to its standard, regular-production range. At 5 1/2 inches by 52 ring gauge, the Allones No. 3 is referred to as Noblezas. Slightly larger than a typical robusto, Allones No. 3 shares the same dimensions with Partagas Series No.1 Limited Edition 2017. Presented in boxes of 10

VITOLA: Noblezas
RING GAUGE: 52
LENGTH: 138mm 5 3/8
FLAVOUR: Full

Hoyo De Monterrey Double Coronas

The Cigar:

A mighty cigar with a surprisingly subtle and creamy flavour. It rocketed to stardom when the second issue of Cigar Aficionado rated a late ‘80s example 99 out of 100. Still a cigar to be reckoned with.

Partagas Lusitania Gran Reserva 2013

The Cigar

Considered one of the truly great smokes in modern times, the Lusitania is a benchmark Havana cigar for many aficionados. This release does not disappoint. Sophistication and nuance have been added to the formidable and fiery reputation this cigar rightly owns. 

FLAVOUR: Full
VITOLA: Prominente
RING GAUGE: 49
LENGTH: 7 5/8 Inches / 194mm 

The Partagás Lusitania, Gran Reserva has been released in the UK and is available throughout the network of Havana Cigar Specialists.

This extremely limited production cigar comes in 5,000 lacquered boxes containing 15 cigars (only 75,000 cigars have been produced for the global market). The blend has been devised by Arnaldo Bichot, the master blender at the Partagás Cigar Factory. The wrapper, binder and filler leaves were harvested in 2007 and then subjected to a long and thorough aging process.

The 2007 harvest actually began in December 2006 and finished in March 2007. Each of the five types of leaf used to make this cigar (three in the filler, one for the binder and the last for the wrapper) underwent the standard curing, sorting, fermentation and classification processes that take up to twelve months to complete. Then they were packed into bales to mature gradually during the last nine months of 2008, all of 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and the first three months of 2013.

The idea of special productions of Cuban cigars made from aged leaves is not new. Ediciones Limitadas, first released in 2000 were originally dressed in wrappers that had been aged for two years, rather than the standard six months. Since 2007 all of the tobaccos used in these cigars, including filler and binder, have been aged for two years.

The start of 2004 saw the release of the first Reserva, the Cohiba Selección Reserva, a selection of five different vitolas that had been produced using tobaccos that had been aged for three years. Since then there have been three more Reserva releases, each in 5,000 numbered boxes of 20 cigars, 100,000 cigars in total. 2005 saw the release of the Partagás Serie D No. 4, 2007 the Montecristo No. 4 and 2012) saw the introduction of the Romeo y Julieta Churchill (released in 2013).

To date there has only been two previous Gran Reservas. 2009 saw the launch of the Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva, then in 2011 it was the turn of the Montecristo No.2 (released in 2012). Now, in 2013 the Partagás Lusitania assumes its rightful place in this exalted canon

A star size if ever there was one. There are few sights in the cigar world to match a Cabinet Selection bundle of 50 Lusitanias. Happily they come in smaller quantities too
