Partagas • Serie D No.4

 If there is one particularly famous cigar factory in Havana, it is Partagas.  The factory was opened in 1845 by Don Jaime Partagas and it has been making the cigars that bear his name ever since.  A Partagas is immediately recognizable by its deep, earthy flavour.

The character of its 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. The best known are the Serie D No. 4, the Lusitania and the 8-9-8, a cigar that is named after the way it is arranged in its box.  In 2005, it was launched a new vitola in the brand, which came to enlarge the Partagás Line Series: Serie P No.2. This vitola quickly has become in a preference Habano among the faithful admirers of the brand, characterized by its character and strength. Since then they have also released the E2 rubosto extra and the smaller D5 petit robusto. 
 

Partagas is a very expressive line of Cuban cigars. Many say smoking the Series D No 4 robusto is akin to having a double espresso with a hint of cream in it.  They also refer to the P 2 pyramid as the double espresso, hold the cream.  The Lusitania, due to its size, is considered teh Latte of the group.  Notice all have that deep roast coffee reference.  The Partagas Cuban cigars are a MUST for any well stocked humidor.
