General Cigar Co. Announces Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas 2020
Next week, General Cigar Co. will begin shipping the Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas 2020, a new limited edition release highlighted by aged tobaccos and a Cameroon wrapper.
The wrapper leaf dates back to the 2008-2009 growing season, while the binder comes from Mexico’s San Andrés region during the 1997-1998 growing season. The fillers are aged as well, with more of the Mexican San Andrés tobacco from 1997-1998 along with proprietary Dominican piloto cubano from the 2009 crop. The company says that the profile is marked by a complexity that shows notes of cedar, earth and wild honey.
“Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas 2020 brings our venerable Cameroon tobacco to life in an intriguing way through an exclusive blend developed solely for this release,” said Matt Wilson, senior brand manager of Partagas, via a press release. “For cigar smokers who appreciate the depth of aged Cameroon wrapper and who seek extraordinary smoking experiences, Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas 2020 is the ultimate super-premium indulgence.”
The cigar is being released in a single vitola, a 6 3/4 x 43 lonsdale called Dalia. Each cigar is packaged in crystal tubes with hand-applied wax closures, and is priced at $17.99, before taxes. General Cigar Co. has produced 2,500 boxes of 10 cigars at the General Cigar Dominicana factory in Santiago. The company said that it will be sold exclusively through brick and mortar retailers.
Shipping will begin on Monday, Nov. 2.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
