Partagas y Nada Mas Santiago Gordo 6″ x 60 – Box of 20

The Partagas y Nada Más Santiago Gordo 6″ × 60 brings the contemporary character of the Y Nada Más Santiago blend to its largest original format, combining a substantial 60-ring gauge with a medium-bodied profile built around earth, white pepper, and subtle sweetness.

Introduced in 2025, Y Nada Más Santiago represents a new direction for Partagas while maintaining a direct connection to the brand’s Dominican heritage. Inspired by Santiago in the Dominican Republic, the collection was created as a regular-production line designed to combine established Partagas character with a more contemporary approach to blending and craftsmanship.

The Santiago collection is handcrafted at Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic, marking a notable departure from the production approach used for many established non-Cuban Partagas lines. This partnership places Y Nada Más within a factory closely associated with modern boutique cigar production.

The blend begins with a Habano 2000 wrapper over a Sumatra binder, followed by a diverse filler combination of Piloto, Corojo, Ecuadorian, and Broadleaf tobaccos. Partagas officially classifies the resulting cigar as medium-bodied, with an earthy foundation complemented by lively white pepper and underlying sweetness.

At 6″ × 60, the Gordo provides the broadest format in the original Santiago collection. The larger ring gauge increases the proportion of filler tobacco compared with the smaller Robusto and Toro, giving the complex interior blend considerable room to express itself while maintaining the richer influence of the Habano 2000 wrapper.

The experience emphasizes balance rather than sheer strength. Earth provides a consistent foundation, white pepper introduces brightness and spice, and subtle sweetness rounds out the profile. The substantial 60-ring format also encourages a slow, relaxed smoking pace and an extended development of the blend.

Originally released alongside the 5″ × 50 Robusto and 6″ × 52 Toro, this 6″ × 60 format completes the original three-vitola Y Nada Más Santiago collection. Each size is offered in boxes of 20 as part of the regular-production portfolio.

For smokers who favor larger ring gauges without necessarily wanting full-bodied intensity, the Partagas y Nada Más Santiago Gordo offers a substantial yet balanced expression of the blend, combining Dominican craftsmanship with a distinctive multi-tobacco composition and contemporary Partagas identity.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

The Partagas y Nada Más Santiago Gordo delivers the Santiago blend in its largest original format, making it particularly appealing to smokers who prefer the feel, draw, and extended experience of a 60-ring cigar.

Its Habano 2000 wrapper and Sumatra binder surround an unusually diverse combination of Piloto, Corojo, Ecuadorian, and Broadleaf fillers, producing a medium-bodied profile centered on earth, white pepper, and subtle sweetness.

At 6″ × 60, the cigar provides plenty of room for the filler blend to develop while maintaining the balanced character that defines the Santiago collection.

WHO IS THIS CIGAR FOR?

The Partagas y Nada Más Santiago Gordo is ideal for:

• Partagas enthusiasts
• Gordo and 60-ring cigar smokers
• Medium-bodied cigar enthusiasts
• Smokers who enjoy earthy and peppery profiles

PAIRING RECOMMENDATIONS

The Partagas y Nada Más Santiago Gordo pairs especially well with:

• Aged Rum
• Cognac
• Bourbon
• Medium-Roast Coffee
• Espresso
• Dark Chocolate

Aged rum, cognac, and coffee are the signature pairings recommended by Partagas for Y Nada Más Santiago.

Aged rum complements the blend’s underlying sweetness while adding oak and caramel character. Cognac introduces fruit and oak complexity against the earthy tobacco, while coffee reinforces the darker side of the blend and provides contrast to its subtle sweetness.

CIGAR DEPOT’S TAKE

The Partagas y Nada Más Santiago Gordo demonstrates that a 60-ring cigar doesn’t necessarily need to rely on overwhelming strength to create a substantial smoking experience.

Its larger format places greater emphasis on the unusually diverse filler combination of Piloto, Corojo, Ecuadorian, and Broadleaf tobaccos. The Habano 2000 wrapper and Sumatra binder provide the outer structure, while the substantial interior tobacco volume gives the blend’s earthy, peppery, and sweet characteristics plenty of room to develop.

The move to Tabacalera William Ventura also gives Y Nada Más Santiago a distinct identity within the broader Partagas portfolio, connecting one of the industry’s historic names with a factory strongly associated with contemporary boutique production.

For smokers who naturally gravitate toward Gordos and other large-ring cigars, the 6″ × 60 Santiago provides the fullest-format expression of the original y Nada Más blend without abandoning its balanced medium-bodied character.

EXPERT TIPS

Cut Recommendation

A clean straight cut works particularly well with the 60-ring format. Remove only enough of the cap to create an open draw while preserving the structure of the head.

Lighting Recommendation

Take additional time to toast the 60-ring foot evenly before beginning. The larger surface area benefits from a patient, even light.

Smoking Pace

Smoke slowly and allow the large format to remain cool. An aggressive pace can increase heat and pepper while reducing the blend’s subtler earthy and sweet characteristics.

Humidor Recommendation

Store at approximately 65–69% RH for consistent combustion and wrapper condition.

Estimated Smoking Time

Approximately 75–95 minutes, depending on smoking pace.

Best Occasion

Well suited to a long afternoon or after-dinner session, particularly when there is enough time to enjoy the gradual development of a 6″ × 60 cigar.

INDUSTRY RECOGNITION

The Partagas y Nada Más Santiago 6″ × 60 is a recent 2025 release, and there is currently no verified 90+ Cigar Aficionado rating for this exact vitola that should be promoted on the product listing.

The cigar’s strongest documented attributes are therefore its distinctive blend, production at Tabacalera William Ventura, medium-bodied profile, and position within the new Y Nada Más family.
