Habanos S.A. Celebrates the Anniversary of the Partagás Brand

— April 12, 2025 — Marketing
Habanos S.A. has marked the 180th anniversary of the historic Partagás brand with the introduction of a special edition 'Cedros' vitola. The cigar was unveiled during an exclusive event at Hong Kong's Murray Hotel. The launch celebration gathered over 180 guests for a specially curated dining experience that highlighted the cultural significance of this release.

The Cedros edition features a distinctive 50 ring gauge by 135mm format, presented in elegant 18-count boxes containing entirely hand-rolled cigars. These are crafted from prized Vuelta Abajo tobacco, which is renowned for its superior quality. This commemorative release celebrates both the Partagás brand's heritage and the Chinese Year of the Snake, as it symbolizes wisdom and growth through its thematic connection to the wooden boxes traditionally used to preserve premium cigars.

As a limited production item celebrating a major brand milestone, the Cedros represents a collector's piece with inherent rarity value.
