The Partagás Presidentes is a striking figurado in the unusual "Taco" format — 47 ring gauge by about 6.2 inches — a shape that's genuinely rare across the whole Habanos portfolio. It's a long-standing part of the Partagás range and an eye-catching, hand-rolled showpiece.
What it tastes like
It starts at a medium body but full of complexity: cedar, cocoa and baking spices set the stage. As you move into the second half it shifts up a gear, with espresso and black pepper pushing through and the strength climbing toward full. The figurado shape and long-filler construction give it a slow, even burn and that classic, satisfying Partagás depth.
Who it's for
This is a cigar for the experienced smoker and the collector — both for the flavor and for that distinctive silhouette. It's a strong, evolving smoke, so save it for after a meal with an espresso, an aged rum, or a bourbon, and give it time. New to the marca? Start milder with the Serie D No. 4 before tackling this.
