PARTAGAS

If there is one building in Havana that excites cigar lovers above all others it is the old Partagas factory. You can find it at No. 520 Industria Street, just behind the Capitol building, in the heart of the city.

The factory was opened in 1845 by Don Jaime Partagas and was still operational until just a few years ago. It is now closed with plans to transform it into a cigar museum well under way. The Partagas shop on the ground floor however, remains open and is well worth a visit.

A Partagas is immediately recognisable by its deep, earthy flavour. The character of its blend springs from a selection of filler and binder tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo zone and chosen for their unmistakable richness of flavour and aroma.

Partagas come in a wide array of shapes and sizes notably the Lusitania and the 8-9-8, a cigar that is named after the way it is arranged in its box.

But perhaps the best known of all Partagas is the Serie D No.4, the robusto size that formed part of the legendary Partagas alphabet series that dates back to the 1930s. In 2005 a Pirámide, the Partagas Serie P No.2, was added to the range, which has fast become the cigar of choice amongst lovers of full-flavoured Havanas. In 2011 the Serie D No.5 and the heavy ring gauge Serie E No.2 extended the alphabet series once again. 2014 saw the most recent addition to the range when the diminutive D.6 was added.

All sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

ARISTOCRATS

Another addition to the full-bodied Partagas range, a shorter smoke cigar that embodies the premium quality of the brand. Measuring 5" by a 40 ring gauge, this Petit Cetros offers a smoking experience that is both sophisticated and complex. The Partagas Aristocrats is a must try for any cigar aficionado.

No flavour is spared in this shorter smoke - Starting with leather and woody notes, it has hints of syrupy coffee throughout, all wrapped together in a silky smooth wrapper.

87 / 100 

"A well-stretched toothy wrapper adorns this cigar, which has a tight draw and is hard to light. The smoke is leathery and woody, with notes of ginger but a short finish. Medium to full bodied..."
