Partagas Capitols

The Partagas Capitols is a distinguished addition to the Línea Retro series, reviving the classic Mareva (Petit Corona) format in a stylish, vintage-inspired tin. Measuring 5 1/8 inches (129 mm) in length with a 42 ring gauge, this Cuban cigar is meticulously hand-rolled using long-filler tobaccos from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region. The Capitols delivers the full-bodied intensity and robust character that define the Partagas brand, making it ideal for aficionados seeking a rich, traditional Cuban experience in a compact, collectible presentation. Expect a smoke time of 40–50 minutes - perfect for those moments when you desire depth and complexity without a lengthy commitment. This classic mareva size cigar was inspired by a popular machine-made version of the same name that was discontinued in the mid-1980's. They taste every bit as good as they look.

The Partagás brand was established by Don Jaime Partagás y Ravelo, a Spanish immigrant who became a pioneer in the Cuban cigar industry. He was among the first to experiment with fermentation and aging techniques, and he introduced the tradition of employing a “reader” to entertain and educate factory workers - a practice that continues in Havana today. Don Jaime acquired prime plantations in the Vuelta Abajo region, renowned for producing the world’s finest tobacco. This commitment to quality raw materials set Partagás apart from its inception. Don Jaime Partagás was a visionary but met a tragic end - he was murdered on one of his plantations in 1868. The brand passed through several hands, including the Cifuentes family, who expanded its reach and influence. 

PARTAGAS CAPITOLS TASTING NOTES 

- Initial Third: Opens with robust notes of leather, oak, and dark chocolate. The smoke is thick and opulent, immediately delivering full-bodied intensity. Subtle hints of roasted nuts and a touch of earthiness set the stage.

- Middle Third: The profile deepens with intensified wood and leather, joined by a spicy chili aftertaste and warming pepper on the palate. Creamy cedar and cinnamon emerge, with a floral sweetness and white pepper on the retrohale. Occasional notes of citrus and salt add complexity.

- Final Third: Richness peaks with pronounced coffee, spice, and a lingering peppery finish. The cigar remains balanced, with additional flavours of dried fruit, hay, and a touch of buttered popcorn. The overall experience is robust yet refined, maintaining the classic Partagas depth.

- Aroma: Expect a bouquet of cedar, cocoa, earth, and subtle spice, complemented by hints of barnyard and floral sweetness. 

- Pairing Suggestions: The Capitols pairs beautifully with strong black coffee, aged rum, or single malt Scotch, enhancing its rich and spicy character.
