Partagas Shorts (25)

Le Partagas Shorts is now one of the brand's most popular modules, with its ideal dimensions of 110 mm in length and 16.67 mm in diameter. A relatively powerful cigar, it is a "puro" (100% Cuban tobacco) that expresses itself on rather spicy notes tinged with exotic woody notes.

This Très Petit Corona is perfect for a twenty-minute pase. You can buy this cigar in boxes of 25 or cabinets of 50.

Cuba's oldest cigar factory, Partagas was founded in 1845 by Don Jaime Partagas Ravelo when he left Spain for Havana. As the owner of several tobacco farms in the Vuelta Abajo, a region recognized as the world's «grand cru» for tobacco, Don Jaime had the best raw material to produce excellent cigars. Success soon followed, and many aristocrats of all nationalities were among his loyal customers, so much so that the factory was almost renamed «Manufacture Royale».

Sous l’élan avant-gardiste de son fondateur, Partagas fut la première manufacture à expérimenter les différentes techniques de fermentation et fut également la première à avoir recours aux services d’un « lecteur », rendant le travail des torcedor moins monotone et surtout contribuant à la culture et l’éducation de ses employés. Par suite du décès de Don Jaime Partagas Ravelo, la manufacture connu plusieurs changements de propriétaires jusqu’à être la propriété de la famille Cifuentes en 1940.

Following the Cuban revolution and the departure of its owners in 1961, Partagas remained one of the most important factories, along with Montecristo and Romeo y Julieta, accounting for almost 25% of Cuban production.
