The Partagás 898 – Varnished Box Cigar is a legendary Cuban cigar, celebrated for its elegant presentation and rich, full-bodied smoking experience. This Lonsdale-sized cigar, measuring 6.75 inches in length with a 43-ring gauge, is expertly handcrafted in Cuba using the finest tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region. The “898” name refers to the traditional packing style, where the cigars are meticulously arranged in three rows—eight on the bottom, nine in the middle, and eight on top—inside a varnished cedar box, adding to its sophisticated allure.
Encased in a silky, dark brown wrapper, the Partagás 898 boasts impeccable construction and a slow, even burn. Upon lighting, the cigar delivers an initial burst of earthy richness, complemented by deep notes of cedar, roasted coffee, and dark chocolate. As it progresses, the complexity intensifies, unveiling spicy black pepper, leather, and hints of dried fruit, creating a dynamic and evolving profile. The final third introduces a bold, woody finish with a touch of sweetness, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
Renowned for its exceptional draw, balance, and depth of flavor, the Partagás 898 – Varnished Box is a premium Cuban cigar that offers a sophisticated and deeply satisfying smoking experience for aficionados who appreciate classic full-bodied smokes.
