A hearty and flavorful cigar from a brand that every aficionado should fully explore, the Partagas 1845 Extra Oscuro Rothschild is destined to be your next new obsession. With a tobacco legacy stretching all the way back to the middle of the nineteenth century, Partagas has been the go-to frontmark for legions of smokers who know taste and quality are paramount. This supreme medium-full stogie is no exception, being stacked with barrel-aged Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan Ligero longleaf filler beneath a rich Dominican La Vega Especial binder and finished with a dark and oily Connecticut Habano Oscuro of unsurpassed character.
The glorious eagle adorning each regal purple and silver band is an apt metaphor, for these sleek vitolas will fly from your humidor with amazing grace and speed once their true deliciousness is discovered. Redolent with the aromas of cedar, fresh hay, and sourwood honey, the Partagas 1845 Extra Oscuro Rothschild will have you and your smoking buddies chomping at the bit as cutter and lighter make the rounds. The easy pulls during the first third come loaded with leather, dark chocolate, red pepper, and cane syrup. Midway through, the creamy smoke provides ample black coffee and mesquite flavors, while the final third pours on the charm with plenty of spice, earth, and even more delectable chocolate.
Pinch yourself if you wish, but you’ll be hard pressed to dream up a better deal for fistfuls of 5 5/8” X 46 Partagas 1845 Extra Oscuro Rothschilds than you can find right here. You know you want some, especially if you’re a fan of other dark and heavy sticks like the Camacho American Barrel Aged or 601 Habano Oscuro. However, even if this is your first foray into something with a little more kick than your usual smoke, you won’t be disappointed.
