Partagás Black Label Magnífico

The Partagás Black Label Magnífico is the full-size Toro in General Cigar's bold Black Label line — 6 inches by a fat 54 ring gauge. It's the cigar to reach for when you want the line's rich, full-bodied profile to stretch out over a longer sitting.

What it tastes like

The Magnífico is everything the Black Label line is known for, with room to breathe: espresso and black pepper lead, with dark chocolate, earth and leather underneath. The dark Medio Tiempo wrapper — late-harvest leaf aged longer on the plant — brings a heavy, oily richness, while the Nicaraguan and Piloto Cubano filler keeps the strength full. The big ring gauge means cool smoke and a long, even burn.

Who it's for

This is for experienced smokers who like a big cigar and a bold one. Plan on the better part of 90 minutes, eat first, and pair it with something with backbone — a bourbon, a stout, or a strong espresso. Curious how this dark wrapper compares to the light, creamy ones? Read Maduro vs Connecticut. If you want the same blend shorter, try the Black Label Clásico.
