About the Partagas Piramides Edicion Limitada 2000
The Partagas Piramides Edicion Limitada 2000 holds a special place in Habanos history as part of the inaugural Edicion Limitada release, the program that launched in the year 2000 and went on to define what a special-edition Habano could be. Partagas, a marca founded in Havana in 1845, has long been celebrated for its bold, earthy character, and this Piramides channels that heritage into a tapered figurado rolled with wrapper leaves matured for at least two years. As one of the first cigars to carry the now-iconic black and gold EL band, it remains a sought-after piece for collectors and seasoned smokers alike.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans into classic Partagas warmth, with cedar at the forefront and a soft creaminess carrying a gentle sweetness that recalls honey and caramel. Through the second third the smoke gains depth, the cedar firming into a sturdy backbone while nutty tones of almond and hazelnut emerge alongside a measured touch of white pepper. By the final third everything draws together into a rounded, full-bodied finish, the cedar still present but balanced by a deeper earthiness as the early sweetness mellows and lets the nutty, spiced notes carry through to the end.
Pairings
- An aged Cuban rum, whose oak and dried-fruit sweetness echoes the cigar’s honeyed core.
- A peaty single malt Scotch, which stands up to the full body and amplifies the earthy depth.
- A strong, unsweetened espresso that mirrors the nutty roast and lengthens the finish.
Aging and storage
Because the EL 2000 was built around longer-aged wrapper leaf, it already smokes with a settled, mature character, yet it continues to reward patience in the humidor. Keep it at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius so the oils stay supple and the spice integrates further over time. Given its age and limited-edition status, stable, undisturbed conditions matter more than ever, so a well-seasoned humidor is essential to preserve both flavor and value.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the experienced palate that appreciates depth over delicacy. Smokers who enjoy full-bodied Habanos and want a tangible link to the origins of the Edicion Limitada program will find it especially rewarding, as will collectors drawn to a discontinued release with genuine historical weight. Newcomers may find the strength demanding, so it suits an unhurried session with the right drink in hand.
