Partagás 175 Aniversario Humidor
A new vitola and an exclusive humidor for the 175th anniversary of the Real Fábrica de Tabaco Partagás.
Built in 1845, the famous Real Fábrica de Tabaco Partagás, located in the heart of Havana behind the Capitolio, celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2020. This plant is probably one of the most renowned and oldest in Cuba that is still active. As it has every five years since 1995, Habanos celebrates the event with a commemorative humidor: the Partagás 175 Aniversario Humidor.
This humidor, presented in 2020 at the XXII Festival de Habano, contains a new special release vitola, called Tropicales.
The Tropicales is a vitola with generous dimensions, with a 54 ring gauge and a length of 175 mm to coincide with this 175th anniversary. Only slightly longer (5 mm) than a Partagás Serie E No.1 (Duke No.1 - 54 x 170 mm) from the 2013 edition of the Habanos Collection, the Tropicales belong to the Double Robusto family.
To this day, no more cigars are produced with this length. In the past this size was reserved for the Panetelas Largas, a long and thin vitola such as the Medaille d'Or No.3, which has completely disappeared from the current Habanos catalogue.
450 humidors have been produced, each containing 50 Tropicales which are manufactured from the prestigious Vuelta Abajo tobacco leaves, giving us a total production of 22,500 cigars, hand-rolled by the most experienced Torcedores. To reinforce their exclusive character, a special foot band with a golden frieze has been added to the brand's standard presentation.
In recent years, commemorative humidors have become one of the most eagerly awaited specialties among enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Commemorating the brand's long history, the Partagás 175 Aniversario Humidor is a worthy heir of a line of five humidors and thus a valuable collector's item for the brand’s aficionados.
The interior of the humidor is made from authentic Okoume and cedar wood from Cuba's most occidental province: Pinar del Rio. This unique wood species is known for its beautiful aroma and flavor, which it offers to Habanos. The exterior is made out of Bubinga, an exotic wood with a fine grain of light and dark brown shades.
The design, both classic and modern of the Partagás 175 Aniversario Humidor, features a very fine craftsman’s wood work, revealing a delicate trellis that gives depth to the façade of this exquisite Humidor. Once unfolded, it reveals a first tray containing eight Tropicales and two drawers of the remaining 42.
This masterpiece is the work of a group of truly talented artists, passionate about Cuban culture, called DeCuba "Arte en Maderas", and specialized in fine wood work.
