Partagas - Serie D No 5 - Single Tubed
Partagas - Serie D No 5 - Single Tubed
A single cigar, in its own tube, the ideal way to try this size before committing to a box.
First released as a 2008 Limited Edition and added to the regular range in 2011: the D No.4's character in a shorter format.
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.5 as having cedar and earth with baked apple, cinnamon, nuts and honey.
