Last week, The Emory in London became a hub for cigar aficionados as Hunters & Frankau hosted a special event to unveil the new Partagas Línea Maestra cigars in the UK.
The event, held in the hotel’s luxurious cigar sampling lounge, attracted prominent Masters of Havana cigars, who offered their expert opinions on the three new additions to the Partagas collection: Origen, Rito, and Maestro.
Several notable individuals were spotted in social media footage from the event, including Syafiera Rosidi of Sparrow Italia, Dante Gabilo of CGars, Max Foulkes from Davidoff of London, and Nic Barker from James J Fox.
These premium cigars, renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and superior quality, are set to be available in the UK starting in early October. The launch event offered attendees an exclusive preview of what is expected to be a highly sought-after release among cigar aficionados.
The Partagás Línea Maestra was first introduced at the 2023 Habanos Festival in Cuba. As a super-premium addition to the Partagás brand, it follows in the footsteps of other high-end lines such as the Cohiba Behike, Romeo y Julieta Línea de Oro, and Montecristo Línea 1935.
Details of the new cigars are as follows:
- Maestro: Factory name Deleites, 5 3/8” (132mm) x 56 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 20 cigars.
- Rito: Factory name Gustosos, 6 5/8” (168mm) x 52 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 20 cigars.
- Origen: Factory name Bondadosos, 6 1/8” (154mm) x 46 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 20 cigars.
Some UK cigar connoisseurs have already had the chance to sample this cigar at one of No 6 Cavendish‘s cigar nights, as captured here:
