Partagas Capitols Tins

Tasting Notes:

91/100
- Half Wheel

"Although not released very often by non-Cuban manufactures, the Marevas has always been one of my favorite vitolas, and the Partagás Capitols is a  great example of how the size can be utilized to its upmost potential. Rich and complex, the profile is dominated by a distinct sourdough flavor on the palate and a very nice floral sweetness on retrohale, along with a surprising amount of spice that stays at a fairly consistent level until the final puff."

About the Cigar:

The Partagas Capitols are the second release from the Habanos Retro Line, after the Romeo y Julieta Club Kings. Both cigars come presented in vintage style cigar tins.

The full box is a traditional wooden cigar box containing 10 of the tins neatly lined up inside.

The vitola chosen has been seen in the Partagás marca twice before: a tubed cigar named Petit Privados that was discontinued in the 1980s and the Partagás Petit Coronas that been introduced prior to the 1960s before being discontinued in 2002.

This is the second version of the Partagás Capitols; the first of which was a machine-made cigar in a slightly different 5 1/8 x 40 vitola. It too was packed in tins, and was available prior to the Cuban Revolution until being officially discontinued in 2001.
