I was in one of my local shops and they told me of this new cigar. They had some, but only in (expensive) sealed boxes of five (a sampler with only one of these Rosados included). Has anyone had one yet? Just curious as I'm really getting into rosado wrappers.

The following excerpted from General Cigar.

"In developing the Partagas Spanish Rosado, Daniel Nunez searched for a rich taste that is not currently found in any other premium cigar. The search led Daniel to the San Agustin Valley in Honduras. The Honduran wrapper on the Partagas Spanish Rosado is grown exclusively for General Cigar and offers a unique taste that he desires. The name Spanish Rosado is direct reference to this wrapper tobacco. Spanish describes the country of Spain's influence in Honduran history as well as the homeland of the Partagas founder, Jaime Partagas. Rosado describes the reddish-brown color on this rich, oily wrapper.

Because of the uniqueness of the soil in the San Agustin Valley, the wrapper provides a spicy taste with hints of cinnamon that burns white, leaving a beautiful ash. A Connecticut Broadleaf binder with a blend of Dominican, Honduran and Mexican tobaccos combine to make this medium to full-bodied cigar a must-have for serious cigar smokers."

Looks like they make 4 vitolas. The Mitico (7x49), Ramon y Ramon (6 1/2 x 45), Familia (6x54) and San Augustin (5 1/2 x 52).

Hey turnberry, thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I had read that too soon after learning of them. I guess it's still too early though for smokers opinions. Thanks again.

I would like to review these but so far can't find a source other than one stick as part of a sampler.

The local shop has them. I asked him about 858 rosies and he said I must have them confused with the Paratagas. I'll have to check the price now. They sound tasty.
