What size is the Partagás Selección Privada Edición Limitada 2014?

The Partagás Selección Privada Edición Limitada 2014 features the Double Robustos vitola, measuring 50 ring gauge by 6 1/8 inches (156mm) in length. This size was created exclusively for this limited release and has not appeared in any other Partagás regular production line. The 50-ring gauge provides substantial smoke output while the extended length allows for a gradual evolution of flavors typical of aged Cuban tobacco.

How long does a Partagás Selección Privada Edición Limitada take to smoke?

Expect a smoking duration of 75–100 minutes with the Partagás Selección Privada Edición Limitada. The Double Robustos format, combined with the extra fermentation process required for Edición Limitada releases, produces a slow, cool burn. The 2014 release contained tobacco aged a minimum of two years prior to rolling, contributing to the deliberate combustion rate that characterizes this format.

What does the Partagás Selección Privada 2014 taste like?

The Partagás Selección Privada 2014 delivers the brand's signature earthy, leathery core with pronounced notes of dark cocoa, espresso bean, and black pepper. The Edición Limitada aging process introduces subtle dried fruit sweetness and cedar undertones absent in younger Partagás offerings. Medium-to-full bodied with a notably smooth draw, the blend intensifies toward the final third without harshness, reflecting the Sancti Spíritus and Vuelta Abajo leaf composition.
