Partagas Cuban Cigars

Product Description

Opened in 1845, the Flor de Tabacos de Partagas is the oldest cigar factory in Cuba that is still in operation. It is currently standing at No. 520 Industria Street, just behind the Capitol building in the heart of the city.

Partagas has always offered the largest selection of shapes and sizes under one brand. At the time of the revolution there were a whopping 265 different models of cigars. As late as 2002 there were still over 40 sizes available, and now there are just over half that amount in production. Partagas is known for producing vitolas with a distinctively spicy and full flavour.

The character of the Partagas blend springs from a selection of tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region chosen for their unmistakable richness of flavour and aroma.

Partagas come in a wide array of shapes and sizes. Some of the best known include the Series D No. 4, the Series P No. 2 and the 8-9-8, a cigar that is named after the way it’s arranged in its box.

Most sizes are “totalmente a mano, tripa larga” – totally hand-made with long filler. A few others, including the Mille Fleurs and Aristocrat, are “mecanizado”, or made by machines.
