Partagas - D6 - Box of 20
Partagas - D6 - Box of 20
A box of 20 cigars, the connoisseur's choice for laying down and ageing.
Launched in 2014: the shortest of the Serie D, delivering concentrated Partagás character in a very short smoke.
Founded in Havana in 1845 by Don Jaime Partagás, Partagás is one of the oldest and most characterful Habanos marques. Its factory on Industria Street, just behind the Capitolio, became one of Havana's landmarks; production has since moved to Calle San Carlos. Every Partagás is long filler and totally handmade with Vuelta Abajo tobacco, and the marque is classed as full in flavour: deep, earthy and spicy. The Serie line dates back to the 1930s. The letter denotes the format (D for a 50 ring gauge, E for 54, P for Pirámide), and all share the red-and-gold band. The Serie D No.4 was the line's sole survivor for decades before the range was revived in 2005.
Connoisseurs' notes
Published reviewers commonly describe the Serie D No.6 as having floral and oaky, with peach, walnut and cream.
