France is one of the first major countries to market this grand robusto celebrating the Chinese New Year.

Introduced last spring in Hong Kong, the Partagás Cedros (135 mm x 50) is now available in French cigar shops.

France is one of the first major countries to market this special edition, celebrating the entry into the Year of the Snake in the lunar calendar.

It comes in boxes of 18, of which 18,888 were produced – the number 8 is considered lucky in Chinese culture.

Partagás Cedros retails for €81 each in France.
