The Partagas de Bronce is a limited collaboration between Partagas and El Titán de Bronze, the legendary factory in Little Havana, Miami, founded by Cuban exile Sandy Cobas. The cigar was blended jointly by STG’s product development manager Justin Andrews and Cobas herself, marking the first time Partagas has partnered with an outside factory.
Production was capped at 5,000 individually numbered boxes of 10, with each box hand-signed by the El Titán de Bronze roller who made the cigars. The blend is an all-Nicaraguan puro built around a Corojo wrapper and a three-leaf filler of Seco Corojo, Viso Dulce, and Ligero Medio Tiempo, aged before release.
The wrapper is of a Colorado color, that is smooth to the touch. Construction is good and the filling uniform.
