HABANOS, S.A. CLOSES THE 23rd HABANO FESTIVAL WITH THE LAUNCH OF PARTAGÁS LÍNEA MAESTRA
For the first time in the history of the brand and the Habanos, S.A. portfolio, the vitolas of this new Partagás line will be made with 100% tobacco grown in San Luis*, in the Vuelta Abajo* plantations located in the Pinar del Río* region, which gives them a special aromatic complexity without losing the brand's unique character.
The Partagás' vitolario is characterized by a wide variety of formats, with more than 30 in its portfolio, which is constantly growing and innovating. Línea Maestra pays tribute to the unique "Origen" of what is considered the best tobacco in the world, the learning and tradition that turn enjoying an Habano into a "Rito" and to the "Maestros" who make it possible to create a "Master" work for Habano lovers.
Maritza Carrillo González and Luis Sánchez-Harguindey Pardo de Vera, co-presidents of Habanos, S.A., explained that " ".
The Gala Night also featured a Hall of Fame that illustrated the great work of all those "masters" who have made of the Habano what it is today.
