In the Partagas Series D No. 4, what does the "D" signify? Does it designate the year it was manufactured or is it the 4th version of this blend (A, B, C coming before this one)?

I'm assuming #4 is Partagas' size for robusto?
:dunno:

Partagas uses letters and numbers to describe some of them in length and ring gauge. For instance PSD4 stands for Partagas Series ring guage (letter) and lenth (number). I could only find a couple old examples here, someone with an MRN should be able to post the others:

D = 50 ring guage, 4 = the length 4 7/8" long. this would be a robust size stick.

P = 52 ring guage, 2 = 6 1/8 (I think is length) pyramid size stick

Add to the list:
E= 54rg 2= 5 1/2in
it seems habanos ignored the dimensions from that chart with the release of the Serie D no. 3 then went back to it for the Serie C no. 1, Serie D no. 2, and Serie D no. 1, and now the recent releases of the Serie P. no. 1 and the Serie E no. 2 also do not work with the original chart.:dunno:
