The Partagás de Luxe is a 140 mm corona with a 40 ring gauge, known as a classic from the lower end of the catalog. Having earned a “coup de cœur” two years ago and maintaining four rings last year, this cigar continues its steady path.
It opens with a dark, full-bodied start, delivering aromas of earthy suint, exotic wood, and black pepper. The second third develops consistently with roasted cocoa, fresh peat, and light pepper notes melding smoothly. While the flavor profile shows little change afterward, the finish is thoroughly satisfying.
Considering its performance and very accessible price, it retains last year’s rating.
