High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Partagas is the name of two brands of premium cigar, one produced on the island of Cuba for Habanos SA, the Cuban state-owned tobacco company, and the other produced in the Dominican Republic from Dominican, Mexican, and Cameroon tobacco for General Cigar, a subsidiary of Swedish Match.The Spaniard Don Jaime Partagas Ravelo had worked in the Cuban tobacco business for years before establishing his own factory, Real Fabricas de Tabaco Partagas in 1845, on 60 Industria Street in Havana, one of the largest of its time. The name, which translates as "Partagas Royal Tobacco Factory," was supposedly chosen because of Don Jaime's status as cigar supplier to various European and Asian nobility. Don Jaime owned many of the best plantations in the Vuelta Abajo tobacco-growing region of Cuba and being able to choose from among the finest tobaccos on the island made the brand incredibly successful. Don Jaime is also believed to have experimented with various methods of fermenting and aging tobacco and is legendarily credited with hiring the first lector to read to and entertain the cigar rollers as they worked.
