In about 1993 General Cigar started the Partagas 150 project. The first release was a humidor with 75 cigars: 50 Partagas 150 and 25 Ramon y Ramon named after Ramon Cifuentes the man behind Partagas. The Partagas 150 was the most successful product launch General Cigar ever had. The Ramon y Ramon however, never made it to market. These cigars were rolled in 1995 and tucked away in an aging room. Our owner, Mark Goldman, unearthed them while scouring the aging rooms with the assistance of Modesta Fondeur. Now Modesta Fondeur is not a name that rings a bell to most, but she is in charge of all the production for General Cigar Dominicana. It took a lot of convincing by Mark for Modesta to part with these cigars; so for that reason he named them after her. Available in 5 sizes, these cigars sport a delicious African Cameroon wrapper that is second to none in the world. Medium in body, these cigars offer just enough punch to keep you satisfied, but smooth enough to smoke any time of day. This stash of cigars is very limited. They are first come first serve.
