Partagas Serie P No.2 (Cuba)
Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos)
Inspect the thick wrapper on this bad boy, and you'll get a good idea of what lies ahead. The smoking experience of the Partagas serie P No.2 starts here. Look at the veins and the oily copper colored toothy surface of this cigar and you know it's going to be a winner, a go to Habano for sure. Unless you get the occasional fluke stick, this cigar will certainly not disappoint, delivering a very rich, satisfying smoke every time.
The pre-light aromas on this one are dark, earthy and chocolaty with a classic Cuban peppery nose. Every time I smoke one of these I just can't wait to taste the delicious wrapper; the peppery spice is oh so good right from the start.
An easy light later, I find the smoke emanating from the foot so aromatic and pleasant. Aromas of earth and leather dominate for sure. Ahhh... I think, this is what an Habano is all about.
The smoke is definitely dense, but perhaps not as dense as it could be. No matter, the initial burst of pepper with leather and light grassy notes is yummy. An inch or so later the smoke gains a more roasted character and the pepper recedes a bit, but the leather is still present. Past the half way mark, the body of this cigar is solidly dark leather and earth with espresso and pepper. This character remains through to the end, with the pepper picking up a bit before the end.
The ash on these is great. The burn may require some coaxing from time to time but it is otherwise good. It smokes generally cool, unless you solicit it repeatedly toward the end, which you my end up doing because of the great smoke it yields. Now, this piramid has a tendency to tunnel in the last inch or so. I would resist the urge to correct the tunneling to avoid a bitter finish; don't sweat it, just let it die with dignity and enjoy a wonderful medium long finish of earth and leather.
I enjoy these smokes thoroughly, and recommend them whole heartedly.
