Partagas Black Label

Partagas Black Label Cigars can be considered a "new age" Partagas, created during the rise of the full-bodied cigar era to satisfy smokers who would become this generation’s connoisseurs of serious strength. Blended by Benji Menendez and his team, and handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, Partagas Black is a striking cigar made with a heavy blend of ligero fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The binder is a robust Dominican leaf, and the wrapper is a pitch-black Medio Tiempo Connecticut Broadleaf Oscuro, aged approximately 50% longer than most harvested leaves. The result is a bold, sweet, and utterly unforgettable smoking experience. The ultra-oily stick burns sharply and evenly, releasing powerful bursts of white pepper and rich espresso flavors. Sweetness is present throughout, finishing with a lingering and pronounced cocoa note. It’s a classic maduro flavor profile, elevated with additional intensity and sweetness. Partagas Black is not for the faint of heart. As one of the pioneering powerhouse cigars, it remains among the heaviest sticks on the market today. Pair it with coffee or port wine, and never smoke it on an empty stomach. Comparable cigars include Casa Magna Oscuro and La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro. If you’re ready to venture into the dark side of full-bodied smoking, do so with Partagas Black. See the Cigar Aficionado Ratings.
