This Partagás gallery shows the cigar brand as many miss it: Interior and exterior shots from the time when the building was still accessible, colourful and well-kept. Corridors, workrooms, details - authentic insights that make the history of Partagas tangible. Today, the building is closed, the colour has faded due to the weather and the facades are weathered - making these photographic documents all the more valuable.
Partagas Cigar Brand Founded 1845.
History
Our photos focus on exterior shots and rooms when you could still go inside. In the picture gallery, aficionadas and aficionados get a small visual impression of the famous building - a nice introduction to Partagas history without historical archive pictures, but with a real sense of place.
