Factory Name - General Cigar Dominicana Like the legendary cigar master Ramón Cifuentes, the Partagas smoker knows what he wants: a cigar that always delivers the richest taste yet never comes on too strong. In keeping with that ideal, every Partagas is an invitation to savor the artistry it takes to bring you this cigar, from the richest of Cuban traditions to the richest of Cameroon wrappers.
The Partagas brand of premium cigars is renowned by cigar smokers for its quality, consistency and richness of flavor. Ramon Cifuentes and his father before him instilled these attributes in all of the people who have made Partagas cigars. After his exile from Cuba , Ramon began making Partagas cigars in the Dominican Republic with these same demands on his new Partagas cigar makers. Daniel Nunez who was an apprentice under Ramon Cifuentes in the Dominican Republic and later his successor as the Partagas Cigar Master has continued to demand only the best for Partagas cigars. In 2001, Daniel developed a fuller-bodied version of Partagas called Partagas Black Label. The newest addition to the family that boasts "the richest cigar in the world" is Partagas Spanish Rosado.
In developing the Partagas Spanish Rosado, Daniel Nunez searched for a rich taste that is not currently found in any other premium cigar. The search led Daniel to the San Agustin Valley in Honduras. The Honduran wrapper on the Partagas Spanish Rosado is grown exclusively for General Cigar and offers a unique taste that he desires. The name Spanish Rosado is direct reference to this wrapper tobacco. Spanish describes the country of Spain's influence in Honduran history as well as the homeland of the Partagas founder, Jaime Partagas. Rosado describes the reddish-brown color on this rich, oily wrapper.
Because of the uniqueness of the soil in the San Agustin Valley, the wrapper provides a spicy taste with hints of cinnamon that burns white, leaving a beautiful ash. A Connecticut Broadleaf binder with a blend of Dominican, Honduran and Mexican tobaccos combine to make this medium to full-bodied cigar a must-have for serious cigar smokers.
