Partagas
D #4
Some Cuban cigars are so popular they become almost ubiquitous, and the Partagas D4 is one of them. The brand are found wherever Cuban cigars are sold, and the robusto vitola is true aficionado’s favourite. The current incarnation, with the individual Serie D No. 4 band, was released in 1975, but the format itself was already popular among Partagas devotees, having been available from the 1930s to the late 1960s. Most of today’s aficionados will list this among their top 5 cigars, many will have enjoyed it as their first Cuban smoke.
Description
Partagás
The Catalan Don Jaime Partagás y Ravelo (Arenys de Mar, 1816 – Vuelta abajo, Cuba, 1868) was the son of Jaume Partagás (tailor) and Teresa Ravelo. He migrated to Cuba in 1831 and worked for Lloret de Mar businessman, Joan Conill in Havana. Establishing his own factory, La Flor de Tabacas de Partagás in 1845, at 1 Cristina St. in Havana (later relocated to Calle Industria), Don Jaime owned many of the best plantations in the Vuelta Abajo tobacco-growing region of Cuba. Don Jaime’s ability to choose from among the finest tobaccos on the island, and an instinct for blending and fermenting tobaccos made the brand incredibly successful. Don Jaime is also legendarily credited with hiring one of the first lectors to read to and entertain the cigar rollers as they worked
