Partagás De Luxe Tubo cigars (2015)

A classic experience of Cuban heritage in a luxurious and lasting form

1. Introduction

The Partagás De Luxe Tubo cigar is one of the most popular and well-known versions of the legendary Partagás brand; A brand that dates back to the 19th century and is still at the top of the list of the most prestigious and best-selling Cuban cigars in the world today. The 2015 De Luxe Tubo, presented in a yellow aluminum tube, is not only a cigar to enjoy, but also a luxury and collector’s item that has attracted the attention of many professional cigar enthusiasts with its design, quality and taste.

2. History of the Partagás Brand

The Partagás brand was founded in 1845 by Don Jaime Partagás y Ravelo, a Spanish immigrant in Havana. The brand’s main factory, known as the Real Fábrica de Tabacos Partagás, was renowned from the beginning for using the best tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region and for the high skill of its roll makers.

Partagás

Soon became one of the symbols of the Cuban cigar industry. After the Cuban Revolution and the nationalization of industry, the brand became the property of the Cuban government and has since been managed by Habanos S.A. as one of the most famous names in the world.

3. Introducing the “De Luxe” line

The Partagás De Luxe line was launched with the aim of offering a balanced cigar in terms of size, flavor and design. Unlike the D or Lusitania series, which are more suitable for special and long moments, the De Luxe, with its smaller form, is designed for daily consumption or shorter occasions.

The distinguishing feature of this line in the Tubo version is the yellow metal tube, which not only protects the cigar from damage and drying out, but also gives it a special and recognizable look. Tubes have always been a favorite of collectors, and the 2015 edition is no exception, with its embossed printing and traditional design.

7. Sensory and taste review

Raw aroma

Before lighting, there is a smell of leather, cedar, a touch of white pepper and a hint of damp earth.

First Third

The initial taste is strong: oak, black pepper, and an undertone of bitter cocoa. The nicotine intensity is revealed at this point. The even burn and creamy, thick smoke make for a pleasant experience.

Second Third

A more complex flavor with notes of espresso, dried charcoal, and a touch of salt in the background. The intensity is still high but in a balanced way.

Final Third

Smoky and leathery notes dominate. Pepper increases but a deep, warm flavor of cinnamon, cedar, and wood ash remains. A strong, masculine finish.

Food Pairings

Best Pairings for This Cigar:

Drink: Strong coffee, Islay or Cubano

Food: Dark chocolate, roasted almonds, or aged cheese

8. Comparison with other versions

Partagás Serie D No.4

Larger, more powerful and suitable for longer periods

The D series is more recommended for professionals

Partagás Petit Coronas Especiales

Similar in size, but with simpler packaging

Softer flavors, suitable for beginners

De Luxe Tubo

With a stylish design and a predictable flavor experience, it falls between the two and is an ideal choice for those looking for a strong but controlled flavor in a short period of time.

9. Storage conditions

To maintain the quality of the 2015 edition, it is recommended to store these cigars in a humidor with a relative humidity of 65% to 70% and a temperature of 18 to 21 degrees Celsius. Over time, the 2015 edition will acquire softer and rounder flavors. Aging this model can reduce the peppery intensity and bring out sweeter notes like honey or caramel.
