Partagas 8-9-8
Worth knowing
This Dalia, which is extremely popular among connoisseurs and has a smoking time of around 85 – 105 minutes, has been around for around 40 years. It is sold in varnished („varnished“) boxes and should not be confused with the much smaller „898 unvarnished“ produced until 2002. The name refers to the arrangement of the cigars in boxes of 25, introduced by Ramón Allones.
Flavours
Quite old school, this blend keeps the memory of 20th century Partagás cigar flavours more alive than the somewhat altered blend of today„s Lusitanias“. The outstanding feature is the exuberant exotic spice of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove, scented resin and dark woods, which makes the smoke a captivating pleasure. This is joined by an earthy undertone on the one hand, and a plethora of delicate, fragrant-floral and sweet notes on the other. A complex, aromatically rich, also quite strong Habano with the format-typical exciting, „colourful“ smoke progression – the intensity increases steadily until the furious finale. Brilliant!

Partagas
Keine Marke ist so eng mit Kubas Hauptstadt verbunden wie Partagás. Durch die Lage der Tabakmanufaktur mitten im Herzen der Hauptstadt ist die enge Verbundenheit von Havanna und Partagás gemeinsam gewachsen und nach gut 170 Jahren untrennbar. Der große Patron Don Jaime Partagás gab der Manufaktur wie auch den Habanos den Namen – seit 1845! Havanna-Kenner wissen um die Nähe der Manufaktur Partagás zum Capitol, die nur einen Steinwurf entfernt in der bekannten Calle Industria Número 520 liegt. Das beeindruckende Gebäude dokumentiert auf sehr anschauliche Weise, wie lange Kubas und besonders Havannas Geschichte schon vom Tabakanbau geprägt wird.

The term Boveda comes from the Spanish and means vaulted cellar. It is a proprietary humidity control product that has been specially developed for use in cigar cases, countertop and travel humidors. Each Humipak contains a saturated salt and water solution protected by a bi-directional permeable membrane. The Boveda Humipaks offer the user the advantage that he no longer has to remember to top up the humidor's water reservoir, as he simply replaces the corresponding number of Boveda Paks in the humidor every 2 - 3 months. The Humipaks are designed to release treated moisture into the humidor, thus minimising the risk of bacteria, mould or fungi developing in the humidor. They also have the advantage over other humidification systems that they minimise fluctuations in the moisture balance, allowing cigars to mature perfectly. The constant moisture balance preserves the natural oils and sugar components of the cigars, giving them the opportunity to improve with age.
If you've ever tried to roll a cigar yourself at an event, you'll really appreciate the skill of the rollers - but unfortunately there's always the odd ‘Monday copy’. With this ingenious tool, you no longer have to be annoyed by cigars that are rolled too tightly - simply place the drill bit at the cut end of the head, turn it as straight as possible into the cigar until the end of the spiral and drill a little more if necessary. In this way, unwanted leaf pieces are not pushed to the side, but remain in the drill and can be pulled out. The product is inspired by a dentist's tool and makes every cigar draw!
