Partagas Cigars. In 1845 Don Jaime Partagás opened up this famous factory at 520 Industria Street, Havana. A Partagas cigar dispels all doubts, but one should beware of imitations. The 8-9-8 cigar is probably the most celebrated in this range. All Partagas sizes are recognised by their fragrance and half-strong flavour and their usually lightly coloured wrapper.
