Partagas is one of the oldest and most renowned Cuban cigar brands, established in Havana in 1845. Known for their rich, full-bodied profile, Partagas cigars deliver a bold and complex smoking experience. Each cigar is handmade in Cuba using carefully selected tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region - widely considered the finest tobacco-growing area in the world - ensuring exceptional quality, depth, and consistency.
History
The brand was founded by Don Jaime Partagas y Ravelo, who owned some of the best tobacco plantations in Cuba. His dedication to innovation, including experimenting with fermentation techniques and introducing the use of a lector to read to factory workers, helped establish Partagas as a leader in Cuban cigar craftsmanship. After his death in the 1860s, the brand passed through several hands, eventually being acquired by the Cifuentes family in 1900. By the mid-20th century, the Partagas factory had become one of Cuba’s largest cigar exporters - a legacy that continues today at the Francisco Perez German factory in Havana.
