General Cigar Company has announced a new Partagas line extension named “Valle Verde” that will begin shipping as early as July 1st. The new cigar is wrapped with Mexican San Andrรฉs which is a first for the Partagas brand.

John Hakim, brand manager of Partagas said, โ€œPartagas Valle Verde builds on the Partagas tradition of rich, refined blends and calls upon its rich Mexican wrapper to deliver a unique smoking experience to the brand portfolio. It is the ideal choice for cigar enthusiasts who are drawn to well-aged tobaccos.โ€

The line was named after a lush agricultural region called the โ€œGreen Valleyโ€ where the brandโ€™s wrapper tobacco was grown. Valle Verde will launch with three full-time sizes that are packed in 20-count boxes, and a limited edition, box-pressed Belicoso that comes in a ten-count box.
