Last night’s cigar at our Partner’s Meeting we smoked a vintage Cuban Partagás — part of the legendary Partagás “Alphabet Series” family tied to the iconic Serie D line, including the famous Serie D No. 4 Robusto. The shape, red-and-gold color palette, and “1845” marking are all signature identifiers of this historic cigar.
This cigar came from a humidor I acquired at an estate sale back in 2010. Based on the markings on the band, this particular cigar has been dated to approximately 1977 or 1978.
Experiences like this are just one of the privileges of being a Partner or Founding Member of Ember & Ash.
The flavor was unbelievable — creamy, leathery, and layered with an incredible floral retrohale that seemed to evolve throughout the smoke.
We still have more in the humidor, but space for additional Founding Members is extremely limited.
