General Cigar Co. has announced the formal release of the new Partagas Heritage.

The cigar uses a Honduran Olancho San Agustin Valley wrapper from the middle viso primings of the plant. It covers a Connecticut broadleaf binder and three fillers: Dominican piloto Cubano, Honduran Jamastran Valley and Mexican San Andrés.

“We set out to create a retrospective blend that celebrated the very best of Partagas to date, and took great pride in putting together the ingredients, just like coming up with a very special recipe,” said Jhonys Diaz, vp of operations forGeneral Cigar Co. “This was a group effort, with our blenders in the Dominican Republic and Central America working with the marketing team to achieve the final taste.”

The new cigar will be offered in four sizes.
