The Partagas Story
If there is one particularly famous cigar factory in Havana, it is Partagas. 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 whom also purchased many of the finest plantations. His knack for determining the best tobaccos and fermentation processes propelled his business to popularity. Legend says that he was one of, if not the first people to employ a lector. Lectors are known for reading to the torcedors as they work to keep them entertained.
In 1868 Don Jamie was found murdered on one of the plantations he owned. His son Jose would go on to run the business for the next 30 years before it would be sold outwith the family.
A Partagas is immediately recognisable by its deep, earthy flavour. The character of its blend springs from a selection of binder and filler tobaccos grown in the Vuelta Abajo zone and chosen for their unmistakable richness of flavour and aroma.
Peter Liddell –
One of my favourite Cubans. Good strong smoke, tastes amazing with a single malt. Would smoke all the time if my wallet was fatter.
