Is the Partagás Coronas Grandes cigar still in production?

No, the Partagás Coronas Grandes has been discontinued. It was once a staple regular production cigar within the brand's portfolio, representing a classic Cuban corona format for decades. Enthusiasts seeking this specific vitola must now rely on the secondary market, as it is no longer distributed through official Habanos channels. Its removal left a gap in the standard Partagás lineup, pushing consumers toward currently available alternatives like the Partagás Coronas Junior or the wider Partagás Serie D No. 4 for similar flavor profiles.

What is the size of the Partagás Coronas Grandes?

The Partagás Coronas Grandes measured 143 mm (5.6 inches) in length with a 42 ring gauge (cepo), adhering to the standard corona format dimensions. This size is often referred to as a "Corona Grande" within Cuban cigar taxonomy. It offered a slightly longer smoking duration than the typical Mareva format, generally providing a 45 to 60-minute experience. The dimensions allowed for a balanced draw and combustion, making it a benchmark example of the traditional Cuban corona construction before production ceased.

What does a Partagás Coronas Grandes taste like?

This cigar delivered the classic Partagás flavor profile, characterized by earthy notes, cedar, and a signature spiciness. As a hand-rolled long-filler Cuban, it typically exhibited medium to full body strength. The 42 ring gauge provided a focused draw that concentrated the flavors, often revealing hints of cocoa and dried fruit as the cigar progressed. While the blend was consistent with the brand's reputation for robust tobacco, the corona format ensured these flavors remained linear and distinct throughout the smoke, distinct from the broader blends found in thicker vitolas.
