A slim, characterful Partagás that builds from toasty and mellow to a rich, sweet, leathery finish in about an hour.
Flavor profile
Roast · Sweet · Earthy
The Partagás Aristocrats is a slender 40-ring-gauge cigar at about 5.1 inches — a Petit Cedros format that flies a little under the radar but rewards smokers who give it a chance. It's a handmade, dress-box Havana with real Partagás character.
What it tastes like
It's a cigar of two halves. It starts slow and mellow, with toasted tobacco, coffee and cocoa, then picks up noticeably in the back half — the smoke output grows and the body climbs to medium-full, bringing leather and a distinctive sweet, woody richness. That evolution is the fun part: stick with it and it gets more interesting as it goes.
Who it's for
This suits an experienced smoker who enjoys a thinner cigar and the journey of a blend that develops. Give it the better part of an hour and don't rush the early third. It's lovely with a coffee or a sweet sherry to play off that late sweetness. For the brand's signature fuller-bodied robusto, see the Serie D No. 4; to place the Havana style next to New World blends, read Cuban vs Nicaraguan.
