The Partagas 150 caught the attention of the cigar world thanks to its extremely old Cameroon wrapper leaf. Now General Cigar Co. has tapped remaining stocks of that 1977 wrapper to create the Partagas 160.

"When we debuted Partagas 150 in 1996, the lion's share of cigar connoisseurs sought cigars in longer lengths," said Angel Daniel Núñez, president of General Cigar. "At that time, we had the foresight to set aside a limited quantity of smaller and medium size wrapper leaves for continued maturation."

The cigars will be available in five sizes and hit retail shops in August. They will sell for $18 to $30 each. The binders are Mexican, and the fillers a mix of Mexican and Dominican tobaccos.

Bas,

We hebben het hier natuurlijk wel over de Dominicaanse Partagás...
Maar klinkt net zo veelbelovend als de specials van Manacudo.

Ik heb een kistje van de Partagas 150's gehad en vond deze erg goed te roken. Ik heb er nog enkele over die ik voor een speciale gelegenheid zal bewaren.
