About this cigar
Partagás Lusitanias — tasting notes and pricing context
The Lusitanias is the longest cigar in the Partagás Línea Clásica and the most-cited Cuban Double Corona on the market. At 7.6 inches by 49 ring (Habanos calls the shape Prominente, the same as Hoyo de Monterrey's Double Corona and Punch's Double Corona), it's a three-hour cigar built for evenings with no agenda. The blend is unmistakably Partagás — pepper, earth and a dark Habano wrapper that produces a thick, oily smoke — and the long format lets the cigar evolve through three distinct phases.
First hour opens with black pepper, dark earth and a touch of espresso; the middle hour softens into leather, cocoa and a whisper of cedar; the final stretch delivers a long, dense finish with woody, almost balsamic notes. The cigar ages exceptionally well; five-year-old Lusitanias are among the most sought-after aged Cubans on the secondary market. Across Europe a box of 25 sits in the €750 to €820 range at most retailers: Noblego runs roughly €765, Cigarworld around €780, Cigarmust CHF 815 (~€855 after FX), Italian tabaccherie post €795. The €100 absolute spread is moderate, but the Lusitanias is also one of the most allocated Cuban SKUs — pre-orders sometimes beat in-stock pricing by 5 to 8 percent, so a watchlist alert here saves real money.
