The Partagas 8-9-8 is 6.88x44 and is made in the Dominican Republic. Partagas was blended by Ramon Cifuentes using a genuine African Cameroon wrapper along with Dominican and Mexican filler tobaccos and a Mexican binder. The Cameroon wrapper used on Partagas is the key to this great cigar. Partagas is medium bodied, rich and flavorful and has a wonderful character. Tasting notes include cedar and peanuts with a hint of sugar on the finish.
