Habanos SA has introduced the first Gran Reserva from the Partagás brand, created using tobacco leaves from Vuelta Abajo, Cuba, Cosecha 2007. These leaves are said to have been subjected to a long and meticulous five-year ageing process during production.
The Lusitanias vitola (ring gauge 49 x 194mm in length) was chosen for the production of the Partagás Gran Reserva Cosecha 2007, a size that is said to enhance the richness and aroma characterising the Partagás blend.
The selection of leaves from the Cosecha 2007 for these Lusitanias was carried out by the Ligador Master Blender at the Partagás factory under the supervision of the Instituto del Tabaco (Tobacco Institute). The Ligero leaves used in the blend comes from the San Juan y Martinez (D.O.P) tobacco district, where the rich San Juan soils lend the Partagás brand its distinctive strength. The Seco leaves hail from the San Luis (D.O.P) tobacco district, which provides “an unparalleled aroma” to its tobacco, according to Habanos.
