Partagas Maduro No. 3 Cigar – Single

The Partagas Maduro No. 3 combines filler and binder tobaccos exclusively from Cuba's Vuelta Abajo zone, known for producing leaves with robust flavor intensity. This cigar belongs to the brand's Linea Maduro series, introduced in 2015, which uses shade-grown wrapper leaves harvested from the top priming of tobacco plants. After air-curing and extended natural fermentation, the Maduro wrapper develops a dark, oily surface that contributes sweetness to the blend.

Measuring 146mm (5.75 inches) in length with a 50-ring gauge, the Partagas Maduro No. 3 uses a Cuban-grown Maduro wrapper aged through traditional methods. The blend incorporates long-filler tobaccos from Vuelta Abajo’s premier plantations, ensuring consistent combustion and smoke output. Flavor progression reveals:

• Initial notes of dark cocoa and espresso
• Mid-smoke transitions to roasted nuts and molasses
• Final third introduces leather and dried fruit undertones

A tight triple-seam cap facilitates an unobstructed draw, while the cigar’s 90-minute burn time allows gradual flavor development. The Partagas Maduro No. 3 maintains Partagas’ signature earthy base profile, amplified by the Maduro wrapper’s caramelized sugars. This vitola targets experienced smokers seeking full-bodied Cuban cigars with layered complexity derived from aged tobaccos.
