The Partagás Lusitanias is a majestic double corona measuring 194 mm with a 49 ring gauge, cloaked in a flawlessly stretched milk chocolate wrapper that feels supple to the touch. The cold draw reveals inviting notes of wood, fresh undergrowth, and a whisper of pepper, all delivered with effortless ease.
Upon lighting, the smoke is white, generous, and fluid, unfurling a balanced blend of woody and earthy aromas with fresh humus nuances. Its strength is measured but satisfying, supported by an excellent draw.
As the cigar progresses into the second third, it expands aromatically with vibrant notes of fresh mushrooms, fallen leaves, and a mix of red and black pepper, though the intensity softens slightly.
In the final third, power returns, while the aromatic profile tightens, offering rich touches of dark chocolate and warm hints of moka. The finish is full and satisfying.
Though this king of Partagás appears a bit subdued compared to its usual lushness and creaminess, it remains a grand Cuban cigar — perhaps experiencing a brief, temporary pause in its usual grandeur.
