The verdict
The Partagás 1845 Extra Oscuro is a bold, full-bodied cigar from Partagás's 1845 Extra Oscuro line. It's a Dominican Republic (New World) robusto gordo wrapped in Connecticut Havano Oscuro at 5.5 in × 52.
On the palate, expect dark chocolate, espresso, and black pepper, leaning sweet. Plan on roughly 65 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, bourbon, and stout. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Partagás 1845 Extra Oscuro is the dark, brooding member of the 1845 family — built around a deep, near-black Connecticut Havano Oscuro wrapper and described by the brand as one of its most full-bodied blends to date. This entry is the 5.5 x 52 Robusto Gordo.
What it tastes like
This is a big, dark smoke. The oscuro wrapper brings dark chocolate and espresso, with black pepper, earth and a touch of char underneath. The Dominican binder and the Dominican-Honduran-Nicaraguan ligero filler push it firmly into full-bodied territory — rich, intense and a little sweet, the way a good dark wrapper should be. It's a slow, deliberate cigar best smoked unhurried.
Who it's for
This is strictly for experienced smokers who want power and a dark, oily profile. Eat first, take your time, and pour something equally bold — a bourbon, a stout, or a strong espresso. Because that wrapper is so dark, it's worth reading Maduro vs Connecticut to understand what you're tasting. If it's too much, the milder 1845 Clásico Robusto is a gentler starting point, and the cigar strength guide helps you gauge the jump.
