Partagas Selección Privada Edicion Limitada 2014

The Partagás Selección Privada Edición Limitada 2014 is a rare, full-bodied Cuban cigar crafted for collectors and aficionados seeking depth, complexity, and the signature boldness of the Partagás brand. Released as part of Habanos S.A.’s annual Edición Limitada series, this Double Robusto (Magnum 50) measures 160mm in length with a 50 ring gauge, and is handmade in Havana using select tobaccos aged for a minimum of two years from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region.

Sharing its dimensions with the H. Upmann Magnum 50 the dimensions of the Selección Privada provides ample time to enjoy the full flavours and rich aromas that Havana's bestselling full flavoured cigar brand has to offer. The cigars are presented in dressed boxes of 10.

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.
