Partagas Spanish Rosado


In developing the Partagas Spanish Rosado, Daniel Nunez searched for a rich taste that is not currently found in any other premium cigar. The search led Daniel to the San Agustin Valley in Honduras. The Honduran wrapper on the Partagas Spanish Rosado is grown exclusively for General Cigar and offers a unique taste that he desires. The name Spanish Rosado is direct reference to this wrapper tobacco. Spanish describes the country of Spain's influence in Honduran history as well as the homeland of the Partagas founder, Jaime Partagas. Rosado describes the reddish-brown color on this rich, oily wrapper.


Because of the uniqueness of the soil in the San Agustin Valley, the wrapper provides a spicy taste with hints of cinnamon that burns white, leaving a beautiful ash. A Connecticut Broadleaf binder with a blend of Dominican, Honduran and Mexican tobaccos combine to make this medium to full-bodied cigar a must-have for serious cigar smokers.
