The verdict
The Partagás Cifuentes Maduro is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Partagás's Cifuentes line. It's a Dominican Republic (New World) double robusto wrapped in Havana Medio Tiempo Maduro at 5.5 in × 58.
On the palate, expect espresso, cedar, and spice, leaning roast. Plan on roughly 70 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, aged rum, and porter. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Partagás Cifuentes line honors Ramón Cifuentes, the legendary cigar-maker who carried the Partagás tradition from Havana to the Dominican Republic after the revolution. Created by Daniel Núñez to mark the brand's long history, the Cifuentes Maduro wears a dark Havana Medio Tiempo Maduro wrapper. This entry is the thick 5.5 x 58 Double Robusto.
What it tastes like
The Maduro wrapper gives this one a dark, slightly sweet richness: espresso and dark chocolate up front, with cedar, spice and earth underneath. The all-Dominican long-filler keeps things balanced and smooth, and the cigar sits at medium-full — flavorful and substantial without being a strength bomb. The wide ring gauge means cool smoke and a relaxed, even burn.
Who it's for
This is for the smoker who enjoys a dark, spicy cigar with a bit of brand history attached. It's a great after-dinner smoke with an espresso, an aged rum, or a porter.
