Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

Before the first draw, the aromas from the wrapper are intoxicating, offering a rich bouquet of cedar, honey, toasted nuts, and subtle white pepper spice. The foot of the cigar emits delicate floral notes, with hints of cocoa and sweet vanilla. Upon placing the cigar on the lips, there’s an immediate silky texture, and the cold draw delivers earthy tones with an underlying creaminess, setting the stage for a complex and refined smoking experience.

Burn/ Draw

A clean cut and gentle toasting of the foot allow the Rito to light up effortlessly. The draw is absolutely perfect, offering just the right amount of resistance for a leisurely and enjoyable smoke. The first puffs deliver a silky-smooth smoke with an even burn, producing thick, aromatic clouds. Despite its size, the burn remains steady, requiring minimal touch-ups—a testament to the cigar’s impeccable construction and expert craftsmanship.

Initial third:

The Partagás Línea Maestra Rito begins with an elegant wave of creamy, well-balanced flavors. Notes of buttery shortbread, floral cinnamon, and subtle white pepper coat the palate, complemented by hints of toasted almonds and cedarwood. The smoke texture is velvety and luxurious, lingering beautifully. The ash is firm and bright white, holding well at the foot. Strength is mild to medium, making for a smooth and approachable introduction.

Middle third:

As the cigar progresses, it transitions beautifully into a richer, more complex profile. The apricot jam sweetness intensifies, harmonizing with salted butter and honeyed graham cracker notes. There’s a subtle emergence of roasted espresso and nutmeg, adding depth. The creamy smoke texture remains intact, and the retrohale introduces a slight spice with hints of floral tea and dried fruit. The strength ramps up to a solid medium, providing a more satisfying, full-bodied experience while maintaining balance. The construction continues to impress, with the burn remaining razor-sharp.

Final third:

In the last third, the Rito evolves into a bold and refined crescendo. The cedar and earthy undertones become more prominent, while the buttery smoothness transitions into a richer espresso and dark cocoa profile. Hints of toasted vanilla and baking spices linger on the finish, making for a deeply satisfying conclusion. Despite the increased strength (medium-full at this stage), the cigar remains beautifully smooth and well-balanced. The burn holds perfectly until the very end, leaving the smoker reluctant to put it down.

The Partagás Línea Maestra Rito is a cigar that exudes luxury, complexity, and craftsmanship, making it a must-have for aficionados seeking a sophisticated and rewarding smoking experience. Rich in character, smooth in delivery, and masterfully constructed, this cigar is perfect for both seasoned smokers and collectors alike. While already exceptional right out of the box, aging for 3-5 years will further enhance its depth and smoothness, making it a worthy addition to any humidor. A masterpiece from Partagás—don’t miss your chance to experience this future classic!
