Cigar name pronunciation

As a new member of the forum, I was browsing threads and came across one regarding pronunciation of cigar names. Rather than post in a rather old thread, I’ll share this recorded pronunciation site here.
A few I’ve heard pronounced several ways particularly Partagas.
If you have watched YouTube videos of cigar factory tours, you sometimes get a better understanding of the names.

    I forgot to add, many pronunciations can be different between Cuba, Dominican Rupublic and Central America.

    I pronounce everything like a redneck would. I don't care how it's pronounced in other countries. 'Merica!

    Don't care.
    Pronounce it how ever you want.

    I doesn't make anyone an X-spurt if you know the correct pronunciation.
    X-spurts are irritating, so those people who have to correct people are irritating.
    I love going into a cigar lounge and purposely mis-pronouncing things, just to see them get their panties in a bunch.

    Aw, don't get too down on them, I'll bet you have on occasion made a fox pass or two.

    Ok, I guess, but pronouncing someone's name is not being an expert, or an X-purt or whatever. It's how that person identifies with the entire world. Rather that claiming expertise, all you are doing in trying to pronounce a name correctly is being polite and showing respect for that person.

    Jaime Partagas started selling rolled tobacco in the mid 19th century and built an iconic cigar brand. To me, trying to pronounce his family name correctly isn't being a smarty pants, it's trying to respect him and his legacy.

    In that regard, here's how this family pronounces it's name:

    Cinco Vegas instead of Five Vegas

    I mean it’s the number 5. How did I mess that up

    Half the people I know pronounce it incorrectly.

    Hank el
    hink el
    Hank lee (don't understand that one)
    Hinkley

    Now schmidt. There's a name everyone can pronounce.
