Construction and Draw
The Mexican San Andrés wrapper is dark, oily, and toothy, seamlessly applied over a Nicaraguan binder and a blend of Nicaraguan and Mexican long-filler tobaccos, reflecting Partagas’s expert craftsmanship. The Double Corona vitola is expertly rolled with a firm, even pack and a clean cap. The cold draw offers cocoa husk, sweet hay, and a dash of pepper. Upon lighting, the draw is smooth and consistent, producing dense, aromatic smoke. The burn line remains sharp with minimal touch-ups, while the ash forms solid, medium-gray stacks that hold well between drops, showcasing excellent construction.
