Rows in grey were last read more than 60 days ago: they are history, not quotes, and never count as the cheapest. Listed price for the box of 25 in the retailer's own currency, their own tax included. A box crossing a border picks up destination duty and VAT on top — the "duty paid EU" mark shows the few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market.

The piece

The Partagás standard-bearer. Bigger and more peppery than a Cohiba Robusto; the benchmark Cuban robusto.

The Partagás Serie D No. 4 is the cigar most experienced Cuban smokers nominate as the best-value premium robusto on the market. Same dimensions as the Cohiba Robustos (5 inches × 50 ring) but with the Partagás factory's signature heavier, more pepper-forward blend, the Serie D No. 4 was relaunched in 2001 and has been a runaway commercial success ever since. The wrapper is a darker, oilier Habano than Cohiba's; the filler leans heavier on Vuelta Abajo ligero, which is what gives the cigar its distinctive black-pepper and earth opening.

For the buyer, the Serie D No. 4 is one of the best price-spread cigars in the Habanos catalogue. Germany's Noblego runs roughly €524 per box of 25; Italy's licensed tabaccherie list €545; Ireland's James J. Fox Dublin €555; Switzerland's Cigarmust CHF 587 when discounted (~€616 after FX). The €90+ spread between cheapest and dearest European retailer is one of the widest in the standard Cuban catalogue and translates to almost four free cigars per box if you compare first. The cigar ages exceptionally well — three to five years in a humidor smooths the pepper into something closer to a Cohiba's complexity.

Questions

  • Where is the cheapest place to buy Partagás Serie D No. 4 in Europe right now?

    The cheapest verified box of Partagás Serie D No. 4 in Europe right now is at James J. Fox Dublin (since 1881) in Ireland at approximately €1,165 for a box of 25 (about €46.60 per cigar). All 10 retailers we track for this vitola are in the table above, each with the date its price was read: rows marked live were re-read by our scraper within the last fortnight, the rest were checked by hand.

    Prices and stock move. Save a price alert and we email you when any retailer drops below your target or the box comes back in stock.

  • Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?

    Only if you live where the retailer is. Every price on this page is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) in the retailer's home country and nowhere else. Buy from a German retailer to a German address and what you see is what you pay. Buy across a border — a Swiss retailer shipping into the EU, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Ireland — and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise and VAT on arrival. How much depends on the destination's excise rate; our import-duty guide walks through the main markets.

    The few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market carry a "duty paid EU" mark in the table.

  • How does Partagás Serie D No. 4 compare to other Partagás cigars?

    Partagás Serie D No. 4 is a Robusto, ring 50, 124 mm, full strength, sold in a box of 25. The other Partagás vitolas on the board, each with its own price page, are Partagás Lusitanias, Partagás Serie E No. 2, Partagás Serie D No. 6. Per-cigar price is the fair way to compare them: box sizes differ.

  • Is the price for Partagás Serie D No. 4 likely to drop?

    Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.

    Short-term, prices move at the retailer level — promotions, clearance, a restock at a different price. Where we have a history, the 90-day line on this page shows what the cheapest box in Europe has actually done. A price alert with no target emails you on any drop; setting a target limits it to your budget.
