Cuban Cigars

The Partagas brand appeared in 1845 and it has had the name of it's founder, Don Jaime Partagas, who entered the cigars industry in 1827. Shortly after his death, the brand was acquired by Ramon Cifuentes in 1889 and was owned by Cifuentes y Cia.
Partagas cigars won gold medals in at least three international expositions between 1867 and 1884. There are no doubts about the fragrant and intense flavour of this line, which is still produced in the Partagas factory, renamed Fernando Perez after nationalization.
The Partagas range is very wide and it would be hard for a smoker not to find a Partagas which would fit his/her preferences in size or shape.
Buyer beware: the 8-9-8 selections vary greatly in size and strength; identification is made by whether the box is varnished or not.
