Variations between vintages and even within boxes make the legendary Partagas Lusitanias a real treat. They’re lighter and more subtle than their double corona size suggests and present excellent aging potential. FInd a quiet place, dedicate some time, and there is unrivaled nuance in this smoke.

Box of 50 Partagas Lusitanias Overview

It takes at least 2 ½ hours to appreciate a Partagas Lusitania. The burn is slow and even, on a cigar that measures 7.6 inches and ring gauge 49. All the tobacco comes from the revered Vuelta Abajo zone and veins in the oily wrapper are a proof of authenticity. 

Smoking a Partagas Lusitanias

These are among the lightest of all Cuban double coronas. Flavors develop deceptively over two to three hours, from yellow fruit and pastry dough, through cacao and cinnamon and then a gradual takeover from honey and sweet spice. 

Partagas Lusitanias soften with age and the final third is a real delight when the cigar is more than five years from vintage. They are velvety and smooth and quite deserving of the adoration received from connoisseurs. 

Partagas Lusitanias Experience

With a good humidor a box of 50 can last for the rest of your smoking life, with the flavor profile developing with each year you keep them. While the smoking experience is on par with more expensive limited editions, Lusitanias have a light to medium flavor profile that also makes them a great upgrade for anyone getting into more complex and serious cigars.
