The Partagás Aliados, which means “Allies” in Spanish, was launched in 2023 exclusively for the Casa del Habano and Habanos Specialist outlets. This cigar comes in a new vitola de Galera called “Delirios,” which has never been seen before. It measures 45 x 167 mm (6 5/8″) and is a type of Double Corona. The Aliados are available in a luxurious wooden box containing 20 cigars, covered with a clear varnish and adorned with decorations on the edge of the box.
The wrapper has a Colorado hue and is smooth to the touch. The construction appears good, and the filling is very generous, almost excessive, since there is no give when squeezed and the draw is a bit on the tighter side.

Partagás Aliados: the cold draw reveals light aromas of hay and spices. Once lit, it opens with creamy wood notes.
Further into the first third, a vegetal aroma is added, along sour dough and hazelnut flavors. The strength is medium-light (2/5).
A pepper note joins the profile in the second half and the strength increases, becoming medium (3/5).
The smoke becomes slightly balsamic in the last third, and the strength remains unchanged.
Overall, the Partagás Aliados offers a smooth and balanced smoking experience with a flavor profile true to the brand. However, considering the size, the flavor profile remains consistent throughout, lacking evolution.
