Partagás Legado Edición Limitada 2020 Arrives in Spain
The Partagás Legado, the lone Edición Limitada released by Habanos S.A. for the 2020 class, is beginning to arrive in Spanish retail humidors ahead of its global release.
It measures 6 1/8 (157mm) x 48, a size known as the Hermosos No.2, that is not part of the brand’s regular production offerings and has only been used for Edición Limitada and Edición Regional releases, dating back to the Romeo y Julieta Hermosos No.2 EL 2004. It was also used in the Quai d’Orsay Senadores EL 2019. The tobacco comes from the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Rió and is aged for a minimum of two years.
The cigar is offered in 25-count boxes. In Spain, it is priced at €30 ($33.10) per cigar, which works out to €750 ($827.58) per box. That is a notable difference than what had been announced by Tabacalera S.L.U. last fall, when the distributor announced pricing would be €21 per cigar and €525 per box. It had been previewed in Madrid on Sept. 25, 2021 as part of an event hosted by Club Pasión Habanos, a private club of cigar enthusiasts, though it was unclear at that time when the cigar would be available for purchase.
The Edición Limitada series, Spanish for limited edition, contains cigars that are not part of a particular brand’s current production. Unlike other releases, which can only use certain brands, Edición Limitada cigars have come from nearly all pillars of the Habanos S.A. portfolio. Since 2005, every year has seen three Edición Limitada releases except 2015, when the company released two Edición Limitada cigars along with the Montecristo 80 Aniversario, which more or less functioned like an Edición Limitada.

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, the G-League's Valley Suns, 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.
