The verdict
The Partagás Serie P No. 2 is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Partagás's Serie P line. It's a Cuban torpedo (pirámide) wrapped in Cuban at 6.1 in × 52.
On the palate, expect earth, cocoa, and leather, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 70 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, aged rum, and red wine. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Partagás Serie P No. 2 is the marca's take on the pyramid (torpedo) shape, built to the exact dimensions of the iconic Montecristo No. 2 — 52 ring gauge by 6.1 inches with a tapered, pointed head. Where the Monte leans elegant, the Partagás leans bold and earthy.
What it tastes like
This is a rich, full-flavored Havana: earth, leather and cocoa carried on a firm black-pepper spine, with cedar in the background. The tapered head concentrates the smoke and lets you fine-tune the draw — clip a little for more, a little more for less. It runs medium-full, classic Partagás muscle, but the pyramid shape keeps it focused and smooth.
Who it's for
If you love the Montecristo No. 2 but want something darker and spicier, this is your cigar. It's an experienced-smoker pick — strong enough that you'll want to smoke it slowly after a meal with an espresso, aged rum, or a glass of red.
