The Classic Born in Exile
The Partagás name was born in 1845 Cuba—but like all exiled icons, its rebirth came with resilience. After the revolution, Partagás was reimagined in the Dominican Republic by General Cigar Co., maintaining its core identity while evolving into something distinct and enduring. Today, the Dominican-made Partagás Classic is a celebration of rich tradition wrapped in one of the most elegant leaves in the game: African Cameroon.
This is a cigar that doesn’t scream for attention—it earns it. The Cameroon wrapper gives it a delicate, toothy texture and a flavor of sweet spice and warm cedar. Inside, the blend of Dominican and Mexican tobaccos creates a perfectly balanced medium-bodied experience—no gimmicks, just grace. It’s the humidor’s anchor. The one you return to when you want comfort, quality, and a little bit of history in your hands.

Why It Belongs in Privada
Privada is about honoring every layer of cigar culture—from the edgy boutique upstarts to the brands that laid the foundation. Partagás may be mass-distributed now, but this Dominican classic carries the legacy of one of Cuba’s original greats. The wrapper is rare, the construction is elite, and the flavor is proof that you don’t need fireworks to leave a lasting impression. For collectors and newcomers alike, this is a standard worth revisiting.
