Why this cigar

A darker-wrapped take on classic Partagás character—richer, rounder and purpose-built for after-dinner. If you’re reading a Partagás Maduro No. 1 review or looking to buy Partagás cigars UK, this stout 52-ring size delivers depth without sacrificing balance.

Flavour & draw

Immediate notes of dark cocoa, espresso and molasses over sweet cedar and toasted nut, with black pepper, leather and a touch of dried fruit. The maduro wrapper adds velvet sweetness to a long, savoury finish. Burn is steady and the draw confidently easy, producing thick, cool smoke throughout.

Size guide

Compare this vitola: Robusto • Churchill • Toro (by length and ring gauge, Maduro No. 1 sits close to a modern Robusto with extra richness from the darker wrapper).

Pairing & when to smoke

Excellent after dinner with espresso, a dry stout or an aged rum; also superb with sherry-cask Speyside.

Genuine & stored right

For Cuban cigars: EMS-stamped and sourced via official UK channels. All cigars are stored in our London humidors under stable conditions (~65–70% RH).

FAQs

“A dark cigar with the spicy, meaty qualities of smoked sausages. The dry, tannic finish grips the palate leaving a touch of leather as well.” Cigar Aficionado (88 Points)
