Legado

  • Year: 2020
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.2
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 157mm
  • With the distinction of being the only Limited Edition release from Habanos in 2020, the Legado (Legacy in English) was created in celebration of the famous brand’s 175th anniversary, having been established by Jaime Partagas Ravelo in 1845. Elegantly presented in lacquered wooden boxes of 25 these powerful cigars are a fitting tribute to the legacy of Jaime Partagas Ravelo.

Serie No.1

  • Year: 2017
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Nobleza
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 138mm
  • Rich, powerful, earthy, robust and full flavoured. Everything that a Partagas should be. They can be enjoyed now, but they can also wait.
Selección Privada

Selección Privada

  • Year: 2014
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Magnum 50
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 6 ¼ Inches / 161mm

Serie D Especial

Serie D Especial

  • Year: 2010
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Gordito
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 141mm
  • The Especial packed a serious punch when it was first launched in the UK with many early smokers noting a potential for long term ageing. The power will have somewhat rounded and mellowed over the years but there is still plenty of rich aromas left in the blend. It will continue to develop for many years to come
Pirámide

Pirámide

  • Year: 2000
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Pirámide
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm
  • The classic Pirámides shape delivers rich, full bodied Partagas flavour, a popular combination upon its release. The vitola was later revived in 2005 with the introduction of the Serie P No.2 to the classic range of the brand.
Serie D No.5

Serie D No.5

  • Year: 2008
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: D No.5
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 4 ⅜ Inches / 110mm
  • This is another of the rare Limited Editions to have made the transition into the standard portfolio, just three years after its original release. The wide gauge and relatively short length makes this diminutive cigar a sketch in modernity and reflects the taste for wider cigars, even when time is restricted.
Serie D No.1

Serie D No.1

  • Year: 2004
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Partagas 16
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 6 ¾ Inches / 170mm
  • Big, bold and full flavoured. Not a cigar for the faint-hearted or to be attempted on an empty stomach. Ideally suited for following a hearty meal and as a companion to a powerful drink or as the last cigar of the day.
Serie C No.3

Serie C No.3

  • Year: 2012
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.3
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm
  • Reminiscent of the 2010 Partagas Serie D Especial this was a very full-flavoured cigar when first released. It has had the benefit of a few years maturation and has settled down somewhat. However, it remains a robust, spicy and earthy smoke.
Serie D No.2

Serie D No.2

  • Year: 2003
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Robusto No.2
  • Ring gauge: 50
  • Length: 6 ⅛ Inches / 156mm
  • A rare size known as a Robusto No.2 in the factories of Cuba. One millimetre shorter and it would be known as the more pervasive Doble. Still a fine cigar after nearly a decade and a half in its box.
Serie D No.3

Serie D No.3

  • Year: 2006
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Corona Gorda
  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 143mm
  • In 2006 Habanos s.a decided to commemorate three of the most popular previous releases since the launch of the Limited Edition concept in 2000. This cigar was an extremely popular offering from Partagas in 2003 and many jumped at the chance to enjoy it for the second time along with those who missed out first time round.
Serie D No.3

Serie D No.3

  • Year: 2001
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Corona Gorda
  • Ring gauge: 46
  • Length: 5 ⅝ Inches / 143mm
  • It is very unusual for a Partagas within the ‘Serie D’ range to have anything other than a 50 ring gauge. The original Serie D No.3, from the 1930’s, would have been 5 ½” x 50. However, whatever the name, the second Limited Edition release from Partagas was a feisty, full flavoured and intense smoke.
