Storage Instructions
Store PARTAGAS SERIE E NO. 2 (25) in a dedicated humidor set to a steady relative humidity of 68 to 72% and a temperature of 68 to 70ºF (20 to 21ºC). Use a calibrated hygrometer to monitor conditions and a reliable humidification system or two way humidity packs to maintain balance. Keep the cigars away from direct sunlight, heat sources and strong odors that can be absorbed by the wrapper. If the cigars arrive in their original cedar box you may place that box inside your humidor for an added layer of flavor protection. Avoid refrigeration or freezing as rapid temperature and humidity swings can crack the wrapper and damage the smoke quality.
Care Tips
Handle each PARTAGAS SERIE E NO. 2 (25) gently by the foot to preserve the oily Cuban wrapper and avoid pinching the shoulder when cutting. Use a sharp guillotine or V cutter for a clean draw and rotate cigars in the humidor occasionally to ensure even humidity exposure. Allow newly shipped cigars to acclimate in your humidor for 1 to 2 weeks before enjoying them. For collectors who prefer a smoother, more integrated profile consider aging the cigars from six months up to a few years under stable conditions. Finally, smoke when you are ready to enjoy the full character of the cigar and store any remaining sticks upright in a stable humidor environment for best preservation.

History and Heritage
Partagás is one of the most storied names in cigar history, founded in Havana in the mid 1800s and widely respected for producing robust, flavorful cigars. The Serie E line fits squarely within that tradition, built on old world craftsmanship and tobaccos chosen for intensity and balance. Expect classic Partagás traits, such as well aged filler, a slightly oily wrapper, and a construction that rewards both new smokers and experienced collectors. A 25 count box is a collector friendly format, offering great potential for short term aging and consistent batches for pairing and cellaring.
Tasting Notes
The PARTAGAS SERIE E NO. 2 (25) is a decidedly full-bodied Robusto that opens with an assertive burst of black pepper and earthy, sun‑dried tobacco. Mid‑palate notes reveal dense leather and rich espresso, layered with dark cocoa and a touch of cedar that lends a refined backbone. Aromas of toasted nuts and a faint molasses sweetness emerge as the smoke cools, while a silky, oily smoke texture carries a long, peppery finish. Overall the cigar is powerful yet balanced, evolving from bold spice to deeper, more nuanced cocoa and woody tones.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged Caribbean rum, its caramel and spice notes mirror the cigar’s molasses and pepper, creating a harmonious, warming finish. Italian espresso, the concentrated roast and bitter‑sweet crema cut through the cigar’s richness and amplify the espresso and cocoa facets. 70% dark chocolate or a cocoa‑forward dessert, the bittersweet chocolate echoes the cigar’s dark cocoa notes while softening the peppery edge for a decadent finale.
