About the Cedar Petacas Partagas Series P. 2
Partagas is one of the oldest and most respected names in Cuban tobacco, a marca founded in Havana in 1845 and known for a robust, full-bodied house style. The Serie P No. 2 sits among the brand’s most celebrated modern figurados, drawing its rich leaf from the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Rio. This Cedar Petacas presentation arrives in a slim cedar petaca holding five cigars, a format built for the road that keeps the sticks protected and gently scented by the wood while you travel.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans into classic Partagas character, with peppery spice, cedar, and a savory leather backbone that settles quickly into balance. Through the middle the smoke turns thick and creamy, carrying cocoa, sweet cappuccino, and a soft caramel sweetness that tempers the pepper. The final third deepens toward roasted coffee bean and dark earth, closing with a long finish of cocoa, faint pepper, and lingering cedar.
Pairings
- An aged Cuban rum, whose molasses and oak echo the cigar’s cocoa and cedar.
- A cup of dark, freshly brewed espresso to lift the coffee and pepper notes.
- A single malt Scotch with light peat, balancing the leather and spice in the second half.
Aging and storage
Keep these cigars in a seasoned humidor held at roughly 68 to 70 percent humidity and around 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The cedar petaca offers handy protection for short trips, but it is not a substitute for proper long-term storage. With patient aging, the piramide tends to mellow its early pepper and let the sweeter cocoa and cedar tones come forward, so a year or two of rest can reward those willing to wait.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the experienced smoker who appreciates a tapered figurado and a medium-full Cuban profile with genuine depth. Newcomers may find the strength and spice a touch demanding, so it suits palates already comfortable with brands like Partagas and Montecristo. The five-count cedar case also makes it a practical choice for anyone who wants quality Habanos ready to carry to a dinner, a round of golf, or a weekend away.
