What are the Partagás Rito dimensions and ring gauge?

The Partagás Rito measures 168mm (6 5/8 inches) in length with a 56 ring gauge, classifying it as a substantial double robusto format. This generous size contributes to its extended smoking time of approximately 90-120 minutes. The cigar features the characteristic Partagás band with distinctive gold accents denoting its Línea Maestra status, alongside a secondary foot band. Its substantial girth allows for complex flavor development throughout the smoking experience.

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

The Rito delivers a full-bodied experience consistent with Partagás tradition, opening with pronounced notes of black pepper and cedar before developing into richer territory. The mid-section reveals cocoa, roasted coffee, and subtle leather, while the final third intensifies with earth and spice. Unlike some milder Línea Maestra releases, the Rito maintains robust character throughout. The blend utilizes specially selected tobacco from Pinar del Río, with wrapper leaves aged longer than standard production cigars.

When was the Partagás Rito released and how does it compare to other Línea Maestra cigars?

The Rito debuted in November 2023 alongside the Origo and Origen as the inaugural trio of the Línea Maestra collection, commemorating Partagás's 175th anniversary. It serves as the largest format of the three, with the Origo at 52 ring gauge and Origen at 54. While all three share the same blend composition, the Rito's greater size produces cooler smoke and more gradual flavor evolution. Limited production quantities and commemorative packaging distinguish these from regular Partagás offerings.
