About the Partagas Series P No. 2
The Partagas Series P No. 2 stands among the most respected expressions of one of Havana’s oldest and most storied marcas. Habanos S.A. launched it in February 2005, during the brand’s 160th anniversary, as an expansion of the famed Partagas Alphabet Series that had long been anchored by the Serie D No. 4. The “P” denotes Piramide, the elegant tapered format in which this cigar is rolled, and it earned the distinction of being the first full-flavored Habano offered in this shape. Presented here in tubos within a box of fifteen, it pairs the protective aluminum tube with the bold, earthy character that built the Partagas reputation.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third settles in with a balanced wave of white and black pepper, cream, and roasted nuts, the tapered head focusing the smoke into a dense, velvety stream. Through the middle the cigar deepens considerably, leaning into espresso and black coffee, milk chocolate, and a chewy leather note that sits over a persistent earthiness. The final third pushes toward its fullest expression, where cedar, licorice, and roasted coffee carry a peppery zest that confirms why Partagas is prized for its powerful, savory style.
Pairings
- Aged Cuban or Nicaraguan rum, whose molasses sweetness softens the pepper and lifts the cocoa tones.
- A robust single malt Scotch with peat or sherry influence to match the cigar’s leather and earth.
- A strong black espresso or cortado that echoes the coffee-bean depth running through the smoke.
Aging and storage
This is a cigar that rewards patience. Even with the tubos offering some protection, keep your boxes in a seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Younger sticks show a brash, peppery edge, but a year or more of rest tends to round the spice, marry the leather and coffee, and coax out subtler cedar and chocolate nuances. Stored well, the Series P No. 2 ages gracefully over several years.
Who it is for
This Habano is built for the seasoned smoker who appreciates a full-bodied, complex Cuban and is comfortable with a serious dose of strength. It is an ideal choice after a substantial meal or alongside a digestif, when there is time to follow the cigar through its evolving thirds. Newcomers may find it intense, so it suits palates already accustomed to powerful tobacco.
