What is the Partagás Maestro cigar size and ring gauge?

The Partagás Maestro measures 132mm (5.2 inches) in length with a 56 ring gauge, classifying it as a Robusto Extra format. This substantial vitola was introduced in 2023 as part of the Línea Maestra collection, positioned between the Rito (52 ring gauge) and Origen (58 ring gauge) in the three-cigar line. The 56 ring gauge provides an extended smoking duration of approximately 60-75 minutes while allowing the blend's complexity to develop gradually.

What does the Partagás Maestro taste like and what is the strength profile?

The Maestro delivers a full-bodied experience characteristic of the Partagás brand, opening with pronounced notes of black pepper and cedar before transitioning to leather, cocoa, and roasted coffee bean. The second third introduces subtle sweetness with dried fruit and nutmeg, while the final third intensifies with earth and toasted tobacco. Unlike traditional Partagás offerings, the Maestro utilizes wrapper leaves from the highest parts of shade-grown plants, contributing to its refined complexity and slightly elevated strength compared to the Serie D No. 4.

How much does the Partagás Maestro cost and is it limited edition?

The Maestro commands approximately £35-45 per cigar in the UK market and $40-55 in the United States, positioning it as a premium regular production cigar rather than a limited edition. Launched in November 2023 at the Festival del Habano, the Línea Maestra collection—including the Maestro—was designed as an ongoing addition to Partagás' portfolio. Availability remains constrained due to Cuban production limitations and high demand, with boxes of 20 typically allocated to select retailers and Habanos Specialists worldwide.
