Description
A potent smoke with delicious notes of sweetness, chocolate, and coffee and a nutty aroma. Its USA Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper cloaks a Dominican binder and a Nicaraguan Ligero and Dominican Piloto Cubano filler. Handmade in the Dominican Republic. The Partagas Black Label uses rare medio tiempo leaves for its wrapper, which are darker, heavier, and richer than most wrapper leaves. These leaves are harvested only after they have been allowed to age on their stalks 50% longer than other wrapper leaves. The Partagas Black Label Piramide received an 88 rating from Cigar Aficionado and a 90 rating from Cigar Insider.
Specifications
- BrandsPartagas Black LabelThe highly rated Partagas Black Label cigar is a very dark, attractive cigar, yet dont let that fool you as it is also as creamy and smooth a smoke as you will ever taste in a Maduro. In order to create Partagas Black Label, Daniel Nuez and his colleagues spent 10 years perfecting the Medio Tempo wrapper and the La Vega Especial binder. Cuban-seed Medio Tempo wrappers are darker, heavier and richer than other wrappers because they are harvested only after they have been allowed to age on their plants 50% longer than other wrapper leaves. These tobaccos and a larger ring gauge translate into a richer, fuller-bodied flavor.
