About the Partagas Serie D No 1 Limited Edition 2004
The Partagas Serie D No 1 Limited Edition 2004 is one of the most sought-after Edicion Limitada releases to ever carry the Partagas band. Partagas has produced cigars in Havana since 1845, and the marca built its reputation on deep, earthy, full-flavored smokes that reward patient palates. This 2004 release took the celebrated Serie D blend and stretched it into the factory vitola known as Partagas No. 16, a generous double robusto measuring 6.75 inches with a 50 ring gauge. Long discontinued and aged for years in private collections, surviving boxes have matured into something truly special.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans on cedar and a creamy, almost buttery smoothness that softens the cigar’s powerful core. Through the middle the blend grows more intricate, layering toasted nuts such as almond and hazelnut over the wood, with a gentle thread of white pepper running underneath. The final third settles into a relaxed, rounded finish where leather, dark chocolate, and a touch of coffee dominate while the pepper recedes. Across more than two hours of smoking time the cigar reveals real depth, sweetness, and the soul that made this Edicion Limitada legendary.
Pairings
- Aged Cuban or Caribbean rum, whose molasses sweetness echoes the cigar’s dark sugar and chocolate notes.
- A peaty or sherry-cask single malt whisky to stand up to the full body and leathery finish.
- Strong black espresso or a rich, unsweetened dark roast coffee for the contemplative final third.
Aging and storage
This is a cigar that already carries significant bottle age, and proper storage will only continue to refine it. Keep it in a well-seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a steady temperature near 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Stored carefully, the powerful young pepper that defined its early years has mellowed into the balanced, sweet, woody profile collectors prize today. Because the 2004 release is discontinued, treat each cigar as the finite, irreplaceable vintage it is.
Who it is for
This cigar is built for the experienced smoker who appreciates full-flavored Cuban tobacco and the romance of a genuine vintage Limited Edition. The kick and complexity make it a poor choice for a beginner, but a rewarding one for collectors, aficionados of the Partagas marca, and anyone marking a special occasion with a smoke that simply cannot be bought new anymore.

Decent cigar but not my favorite from Partagas. The Partagas Serie D No 1 Limited Edition 2004 VINTAGE has good flavor – earth and leather – but didn’t wow me like other Cubans I’ve had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It’s good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.
