Cifuentes by Partagas Fancy Tails

Long before Fidel Castro came into power in Cuba, Partagas cigars were crafted by hand in Havana under the direction of Ramon Cifuentes and his father. The last of the great cigar-makers to leave Cuba in the early 1960s, Ramon Cifuentes eventually discovered the ideal place to manufacture the Partagas line, Santiago, Dominican Republic. The Cifuentes Fancy Tail is an extraordinary cigar. Rolled with care by Ramon Cifuentes in Jamaica, these rich, complex smokes are made from a unique blend of three Cuban-seed tobaccos, Cameroon binders and the finest Connecticut shade wrappers. Limited to 150,000 cigars and aged for 2 full years before boxing, the brand has been rated "90" by Cigar Aficionado and "Superior" by Rudman´s. If you like a good Partagas, you’re gonna love Cifuentes! These rich, complex smokes are packed with flavor and expertly constructed. Immediately look for a slightly oily Connecticut Shade wrapper. It’s rolled with just the right amount of tobacco. We found it to burn evenly and offer an easy draw. The Fancy tail is smooth and easy to smoke. We picked up traces of cocoa bean and a slight spiciness. Consider pairing it up with a full-bodied India Pale Ale.
