I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the “Spanish” comes from “Spanish Honduras,” which was the original designation of the country Honduras (as distinguished from British Honduras, which is now known as Belize.) Since the Honduran San Augustin wrapper is the focal point of this cigar… just a guess.

Yup they are the monthly or seasonal blend that started in 2004 with the Octobre, Novembre and Decembre sizes. Those are a bit harder to find.

In 2005 the second release had the Junio, Julio and Agosto.

Jerry – Those are the monthly releases, right? I’ve heard good things about them but haven’t run across them. I’ll have to keep a better lookout.

Lance – I’m guessing that it’s a reflection of the Partagas brand’s heritage. Jaime Partagas, who started the company in 1845, had come to Cuba from Spain.

I’ll let George answer Lance’s question…

Great review George! These are great cigars. If you get the chance try the Partagas Ciefuentes blend. If you like the Rosado, you will be head over hills for the Ciefuentes.

So if this cigar is made up of Dominican, Honduran, and Mexican tobaccos, why is it called “Spanish”?

George,
Thanks for the review. I’ve always wanted to try the Partagas Spanish Rosado, but for some reason haven’t gotten around to it.

Now I’ll have to.
