Following the Cohiba M and La Gloria 8th Street, we have another General Cigar Co. offering being made at Al Titan de Bronze in Miami. These are pricey, it’s not cheap to make cigars in the US. I expect to see a Macanudo made there next. I’ll be honest, my favorite from ETB is the Cornelius, at half the price of most of these. Sadly they are extinct, fortunately I still have a bunch. I may spring for one if I see it in the wild, but I haven’t shelled out for the La Gloria yet, so…
PARTAGAS RELEASES FIRST US-MADE CIGAR IN COLLABORATION WITH EL TITÁN DE BRONZE
Partagas will release its first collaboration in April with Partagas de Bronce, an exceptional cigar handcrafted in Miami by the Cuban expatriate rollers of the famed El Titán de Bronze Cigar Factory.
The cigar’s name calls upon the Spanish spelling of “bronce” in tribute to the origins of Partagas and El Titan de Bronze.
Partagas de Bronce was blended by STG’s Justin Andrews, with Sandy Cobas and the blending team at El Titán de Bronze. Made with a Corojo wrapper, Partagas de Bronce is a medium- bodied Nicaraguan puro that brims with nuances. Cocoa, earth, wood,hints of citrus and an intriguing creaminess deliver a cigar that highlights the heritage of Partagas with the artistry of El Titán de Bronze.
John Hakim, brand manager of Partagas said, “For a venerable brand like Partagas, collaborating with a legend like Sandy Cobas and creating a special, limited edition cigar at her family-owned factory marks an important step in Partagas’ evolution. Partagas de Bronce highlights Partagas’ devotion to old-world cigar making techniques, and its commitment to marching the brand forward through innovation. We look forward to sharing this exceptional blend with cigar lovers across the country.”
Partagas de Bronce will be released in April, when 5,000 boxes, each signed by the El Titán de Bronze cigar maker who crafted them, will ship to retailers. Each box contains ten cigars.
Partagas de Bronce Corona Gorda (6.25” x 46) – SRP per cigar $22.99
