Partagas Habaneros

The Partagás Habaneros is the straightforward introduction to the intense world of Partagás – short, full of character and astonishingly versatile. As compact Belvederes, the Partagás Habaneros impress with genuine Cuban power that gets straight to the point: the perfect choice for a coffee break, after work, or whenever you fancy a taste of authentic Habano flair. Thanks to its attractive price-to-enjoyment ratio, the Partagás Habaneros is both a daily smoke and a collector’s item.

Origin & Format

The Partagás Habaneros is crafted entirely by hand (Totalmente a Mano) from Vuelta Abajo tobaccos. The format is a Belvederes (also known as a ‘Short Panetela’): 125 mm in length with a ring gauge of 39 – compact, elegant and packed with flavour. Historically, this vitola was long regarded as an insider’s tip within the Partagás portfolio and is now available as a regular production item in a classic box of 25. The combination of a slim ring gauge and traditional Partagás spice makes the Partagás Habaneros a characterful short smoke with real presence.

Flavours & Strength

On the draw, the Partagás Habaneros reveals a robust yet harmonious profile: cedar and earth form the foundation, complemented by leather, roasted coffee and subtle peppery notes. Depending on the stage of the burn, hints of cocoa, nuts and subtlecaramel/vanilla sweetness emerge, balancing the robust character. The strength ranges from medium to full, yet remains well within control – ideal for aficionadas and aficionados who appreciate authenticity and depth in a compact format.

Enjoyment & Occasion

With a smoking time of around 40–45 minutes, the Partagás Habaneros delivers intense Habano flavours without taking up too much of your time. It pairs superbly with an espresso, a strong filter coffee or – for a classic combination – a Cuba Libre. Whether as a spontaneous after-work smoke, a spicy accompaniment after a meal or a reliable choice for when you’re on the go: the Partagás Habaneros impresses with its character, suitability for everyday use and a price that’s a real treat.
