Partagás Lusitania

The Partagás Lusitania opens with a full-bodied surge of bold cedar, earthy spice, and dark roasted coffee, backed by a deep, natural tobacco sweetness that immediately commands attention. The retrohale delivers an intense mix of black pepper, leather, and toasted oak, adding both power and complexity. As the second third unfolds, the profile develops into rich dark chocolate, roasted hazelnuts, and subtle molasses, creating a creamy yet robust texture. The final third crescendos with espresso crema, charred wood, and a hint of anise, leaving a long, bold finish that is both elegant and commanding.

The Cuban wrapper is a smooth, medium-brown Colorado with a slight sheen, flawlessly applied over a blend of the finest Vuelta Abajo binder and long-filler tobaccos. The Lusitania’s double corona vitola is perfectly rolled with a consistent, firm pack and an immaculate triple cap. The cold draw offers sweet hay, cocoa, and a dash of pepper. Upon lighting, the draw is ideal, producing copious amounts of dense, aromatic smoke. The burn line stays sharp and steady, while the ash forms tight, light-gray columns that hold impressively between drops, reflecting Partagás’s legendary craftsmanship.

The ideal whisky pairing for the Partagás Lusitania is Glenfarclas 25, whose deep sherry richness, dried fruit, and warm spice marry beautifully with the cigar’s cedar, cocoa, and espresso-driven profile, creating a luxurious and harmonious balance.
