Worth knowing
The Montecristo ‘No. 2’ and various large Cohiba formats may be better known and have a more glamorous image - but this classic Double Corona has always won the hearts of countless connoisseurs. The blend may have been ‘toned down’ somewhat - as with other Habanos - but it is still one of the best! A cigar for over 2 hours.
Flavours
It would go far beyond the scope of this article to describe the many changes in flavour during the smoking process. Just this much: the ‘Lusi’ is one of those great cigars whose enjoyment is like a flavourful adventure. Fragrant resin, plenty of cinnamon-cedar-like ethereality, beguilingly floral, heavy sweetness, a hint of cocoa on the palate that is otherwise hardly known from Partagás; opulent exotic spice as if from the Mogul cuisine of Persia and northern India; behind this, down-to-earth earth and leather notes with umami roasting tones throughout. Malt and liquorice in the finish. A magical cigar; no longer quite as strongly blended as in the past, but still above average in strength.

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.
