About the Partagas Series P No. 2
Partagas has been crafting bold, full flavored Havanas since 1845, and the Series P No. 2 belongs to that proud lineage. Introduced to the regular portfolio in 2005, this Piramide quickly earned a devoted following among aficionados who crave the signature Partagas power. Presented here in protective aluminum tubos and packaged as a trio, it is a tapered pyramid with a closed head that concentrates the smoke beautifully across the palate. The cigar measures 156 mm, roughly 6.1 inches, with a hefty 52 ring gauge at its widest point.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third arrives with the unmistakable Partagas character, leaning into earthy leather, fresh cedar, and a peppery snap that announces a full bodied smoke. As you move into the second third, the profile deepens and rounds out, with cocoa and roasted coffee weaving through a creamy core, while a faint brown sugar sweetness keeps things balanced. The final third turns richer still, layering licorice and dark wood over that distinctive sweet and salty note that has become a hallmark of the marca. Thick, generous smoke carries each transition with poise.
Pairings
- Aged Cuban or Nicaraguan rum, whose molasses depth mirrors the cigar’s sweeter notes
- A peaty single malt Scotch to stand up to the leather and pepper intensity
- Strong espresso or a dark roast coffee that echoes the roasted coffee bean undertones
Aging and storage
Like most full bodied Habanos, the Series P No. 2 rewards patience. Keep it stored at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 65 degrees Fahrenheit so the wrapper stays supple and the blend matures gracefully. The aluminum tubo offers an extra layer of protection against light and fluctuation, though long term aging is still best done inside a seasoned humidor. Given a year or two of rest, the pepper softens and the cedar and cocoa grow more harmonious.
Who it is for
This is a smoke for the experienced palate that appreciates strength delivered with refinement rather than brute force. If you already enjoy bold Cuban classics and want a piramide that performs on a special evening, the Series P No. 2 belongs in your rotation. Newcomers may find the full body demanding, so it is worth approaching after a meal and with an unhurried hour to spare. The three cigar pack and tubos make it equally suited to a thoughtful gift.
