Wrapper: Mexican San Andres

Binder: Cameroon

Filler: Nicaraguan

Profile: Medium+

The Partagas Valle Verde Limited Edition Belicoso Box Press is a standout release that expands the historic brand into new territory. As the first Partagas cigar ever wrapped in Mexican San Andrés, it transforms a leaf known for power into an unexpectedly smooth, elegant, and cocoa-tinged experience. This box-pressed format is also a first for the Valle Verde line, adding refinement and a cool, even burn.

Beneath the wrapper lies a vintage 2015 Cameroon binder and a selection of vintage Nicaraguan and Mexican fillers harvested in 2020. Together, they create a layered medium-to-full bodied profile that balances earthiness with sweetness, delivering a remarkably composed and fragrant smoke.

Expect a progression of earth, cane sugar, wood, coffee, cocoa, and subtle spice, all wrapped in a creamy, rounded texture. Construction is reliable from start to finish, with an aroma that lingers softly and a draw that stays effortlessly smooth. Many devoted Partagas fans consider this one of the brand’s most impressive modern releases, and it’s easy to see why.
