About the 8-9-8 line
The 8-9-8 is Partagás at its most traditional. Its name comes from the classic varnished 'SLB' cabinet packing — eight cigars on the top row, nine in the middle, eight on the bottom — a presentation format that dates back generations at the Havana house founded by Jaime Partagás in 1845. Inside is a corona gorda built on the brand's signature Cuban tobacco: the deep, earthy, leathery and lightly peppery profile that has defined Partagás for well over a century. It is a cigar for smokers who want the house character in its purest, unhurried form.
