Partagas Decadas 2021 (6×52 / Box of 10)

The latest edition of the Partagas Decadas series features a wrapper grown in Brazil from Cameroon seed, which is a first for the brand. Cultivated in Brazil’s Bahia region, the wrapper envelops a Connecticut Habano binder and filler blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos. The Partagas Decadas 2021 Toro measures 6 inches by 52 ring gauge. Packed in boxes of 10, each Decadas is presented in its own individual coffin.

The Partagas Decadas line started in 2005 with tobacco vintages purported to be from a 1995 harvest. The idea was to release a cigar with 10-year-old tobacco, as the word decadas is Spanish for “decades.” Production of Partagas Decadas was halted for 10 years until its return in 2019 as a single-size limited edition. Since then, blends and sizes have differed each year, but all Partagas Decadas cigars have something in common—Cameroon-seed wrappers.

The line was formerly distributed by General Cigar Co., but is now handled by Forged Tobacco Co., a newly formed subsidiary of Scandinavian Tobacco Group, a European corporation that owns both entities. Like the core non-Cuban Partagas line, Decadas is made in the Dominican Republic at the General Cigar Dominicana factory.
