One of the oldest, original makers of premium cuban cigars, Don Jaime Partagas established his first factory in 1845, the "Real Fabricas de Tabaco Partagas." The "Real" (Royal) moniker in the factory name reflects Don Jaime's status as a supplier of premium cigars to European and Asian nobility; Don Jaime owned most of the tobacco plantations in the Vuelte Abajo region of Cuba, and as a result, could select from the world's finest tobaccos for his cigars. A true pioneer of the modern Cuban cigar, Don Jaime experimented with various methods for curing and fermenting his premium tobaccos, and is credited with the creation of the lector. The natural result of Don Jaime's labours was a marque of impeccable reputation; Partagas enjoyed enormous success, accounting for a quarter of all tobacco goods exported from Cuba by 1958.
Often compared to the Monte Cristo number four, the Partagas Coronas Senior HF is a fuller-bodied and smaller cigar. The wrappers on these cigars are smooth, with minimal veining. These cigars are generally very well constructed, burning evenly and smoking with a stiff but yielding draw. These cigars begin smoothly, with flavours of hay and dried grasses, and increase in body and spiciness into flavours of cedar and leather, and finish very strong and full-bodied.
