About this subject

The Partagás Serie D No. 4 (known as 'D4') is one of the most emblematic cigars from Cuba, produced by the legendary Partagás brand, founded in 1845 by Jaime Partagás in the city of Havana. The historic factory, located in the Centro Habana district, is one of the oldest and most respected in the country, known for its full-bodied and consistent blends. The D4 is part of the 'Serie D' line, which honors thick-gauge robustos, and is considered the gold standard of this vitola.

This cigar measures 124 mm in length with a ring gauge of 50 (19.84 mm in diameter), classified as a robusto. Its wrapper is made from tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region, considered the world's best for wrapper leaf cultivation. The internal blend uses tobaccos from the finest Cuban plantations, resulting in a complex flavor profile: notes of earth, leather, bitter cocoa, roasted coffee, and a touch of pepper. The burn is slow and even, and the smoke is dense and aromatic.

The Partagás D4 frequently receives high ratings in specialized reviews, such as 93 points from Cigar Aficionado magazine. It is a medium to full-bodied cigar, ideal for experienced smokers who appreciate bold flavors. Its production is limited and highly regulated, contributing to its exclusivity and demand in the global market. Many enthusiasts consider the D4 one of the greatest Cuban cigars ever made, serving as a benchmark for other robustos worldwide.
