About the Partagas Serie E No.2 Gran Reserva Cosecha 2015
The Partagas Serie E No.2 Gran Reserva Cosecha 2015 is a flagship expression from a house that built its reputation on power, depth, and unwavering Cuban character. It belongs to the prestigious Gran Reserva category, meaning every leaf was drawn from the exceptional 2015 harvest and then rested for a minimum of five years before rolling. Presented in the muscular Duke vitola at 5.5 inches (140 mm) by a 54 ring gauge, this is a full-bodied robusto extra built for collectors and seasoned palates. Production was strictly limited, with roughly 5,000 numbered boxes finished in black lacquer, which keeps the release firmly in the realm of the rare and the sought-after.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third settles in with the classic Partagas signature: earthy depth layered over toasted cedar and a backbone of black pepper. As the cigar moves into the second third, the extra aging shows itself through a rounder, sweeter core, where notes of dried wood give way to a touch of ripe fruit and leather. The final third builds toward the full-strength crescendo this marca is known for, with concentrated spice, espresso, and a lingering mineral note that rewards slow, deliberate puffing. Across roughly an hour and a half of smoking time, the blend evolves rather than tiring, which is the hallmark of a well-rested Gran Reserva.
Pairings
- An aged Cuban rum, where the cask sweetness echoes the cigar’s ripe-fruit undertone.
- A peated or sherried single malt Scotch to stand up to the full body and spice.
- Strong black coffee or espresso for an afternoon smoke that mirrors the cigar’s roasted notes.
Aging and storage
Although these cigars already carry years of factory aging, they continue to reward patience in the humidor. Hold them at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and a temperature near 18 degrees Celsius (about 65 Fahrenheit) to preserve the wrapper and let the blend marry further. Because the boxes are numbered and increasingly scarce, many owners keep one box sealed for the long term while drawing from a second. A well-seasoned humidor and a reliable hygrometer are essential for protecting a release of this caliber.
Who it is for
This is not a beginner’s cigar. The Serie E No.2 Gran Reserva suits the experienced smoker who appreciates a powerful, layered Cuban and has the time to give it. It also appeals to collectors who value limited, numbered Habanos editions tied to a specific cosecha. If your taste runs toward medium and mild blends, save this one for after a full meal when your palate is primed for intensity.
