In Cuba, Partagas Serie E No. 2 are generally priced lower than in international markets. Cuban cigars typically range from $8 to $90 USD per cigar, depending on the brand, vitola, and availability. Prestigious names such as Cohiba, Montecristo, and Partagás sit at the higher end. There is no real price advantage to purchasing full boxes, as the per-cigar cost remains the same unless you intend to leave the country with more than 50 cigars, in which case proper documentation is required to avoid confiscation by Cuban authorities.
For online buyers, packaging plays a key role. Boxed Partagas Serie E No. 2 cigars require official documentation and customs review before leaving the country, increasing shipping complexity and cost. That is why Partagas Serie E No. 2 cigars purchased online often cost more than in Cuba, largely due to the required paperwork for shipping. Partagas Serie E No. 2 cigars can also be shipped without boxes while maintaining the same quality, and are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee on delivery, offering a more refined and cost-conscious approach.
Advice: Always request a receipt when purchasing cigars in Cuba “no exceptions”. Without proper documentation, cigars especially boxes will be confiscated by Cuban authorities during inspection on your return flight home.
The most seamless approach is to purchase Partagas Serie E No. 2 directly through us online or at our retail shop in Havana, Cuba. Even if your Partagas Serie E No. 2 cigars were not sourced through us, our team can assist in arranging everything for you while you are in Cuba, ensuring a smooth and discreet experience.
When departing Cuba, airport customs generally allow one box and one bundle without a receipt. While some suggest higher quantities may pass without documentation, a more measured approach is always preferred. Maintaining your receipt is strongly recommended.
For those seeking a more effortless experience, shipping Partagas Serie E No. 2 is often the preferred option—particularly when traveling with larger quantities or without full documentation.
Short answer: No. (Consider purchasing online instead.)
Long answer: Yes… if you understand how the conversation is meant to unfold.
When arriving in the U.S., the question is rarely just about cigars it’s about how you answer. If asked whether you have anything to declare, the reply is simple and measured “No”, especially when the total value stays within that familiar $800 threshold, a number that, like most things, can change over time. 95% of the time you will have no issues.
If the conversation becomes more direct, the details matter. If you are arriving from Cuba, the answer should still be “No”, because any cigars or liquor will be taken away if you say Yes. If you say No and they inspect your bags, worst case they’ll confiscate your cigars and liquor, and give you a verbal warning. Do not attempt to negotiate or explain, just say “I didn’t know” nothing more. The goal at this point is to leave with a verbal warning.
Saying “Yes” will ALWAYS result in losing your cigars and liquor.
If you are arriving from Spain or anywhere outside of Cuba, then you can answer “Yes” and simply say you have cigars or liquor from Spain or wherever your journey last took you. Do not say Partagas Serie E No. 2, just keep it simple and say cigars.
Avoid all of this and buy from us, or have us ship it to you if you already sourced your cigars in Cuba.
It’s not about avoiding the truth it’s about understanding how it’s told. Like a good cigar, timing and delivery are everything. The goal is to arrive home and enjoy your Partagas Serie E No. 2.
Absolutely. This cigar thrives alongside a robust, aged rum or a single-malt whisky something with character to match its own. I often pair it with a 15-year-old rum; the sweet warmth of the spirit balances the earthy strength of the Serie E No. 2 beautifully. Even a rich espresso can work if you prefer a quiet, contemplative smoke its intensity complements the cigar’s natural bite, creating a harmony that feels deliberate and luxurious.
This is a cigar you savor slowly. I like to light it carefully, allowing the first puffs to wake the palate without rushing. Draw gently, let the smoke caress your tongue, and notice how the flavors unfold: dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and a subtle, persistent spice that deepens as the cigar burns. The ash holds firm, a sign of excellent construction, and the burn is even if treated with patience. Think of it as a conversation the more attentive you are, the more rewards it offers.
Humidity and temperature are everything with a cigar of this stature. Keep it in a humidor at around 68–70% relative humidity and 18–20°C (65–68°F). Give it space to breathe the Serie E No. 2 is robust, and proper storage preserves both the wrapper’s integrity and the depth of the flavor. If you’re patient, allow it to rest a few months; the intensity softens slightly, the flavors integrate, and smoking it becomes even more rewarding.
The key is consistency. Keep it in a humidor at roughly 68–70% humidity and around 65–68°F. Let the cigar rest in these conditions for at least a week if it’s newly purchased, so the oils and flavors harmonize. Opening your humidor, you should smell the distinctive Partagás earthiness mingled with subtle hints of cocoa and spice. A properly rested Serie E No. 2 will greet you with a smoke that is balanced, smooth, and layered like a conversation that unfolds with depth and warmth.
It walks the line beautifully. Medium-to-full strength, yes, but approachable for a smoker willing to take measured, thoughtful draws. Beginners may find it robust at first, but it’s also an education a perfect introduction to Cuban craftsmanship and the world of flavor that Partagás is renowned for. For the experienced smoker, it offers the nuance and depth that only a truly well-made Cuban can deliver. Either way, it’s a cigar that rewards attention.
This cigar is rich and expressive. From the first draw, you’ll notice earthy tobacco, complemented by cocoa, espresso, and a hint of cedar. As it develops, subtle black pepper and leather notes emerge, creating a spicy yet refined complexity. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving your palate warmed and contemplative. Smoking a Serie E No. 2 is like listening to a classic Cuban son: each note intentional, rhythmic, and deeply pleasurable.
Ah, the Serie E No. 2… it is bold, full-bodied, and unapologetically Cuban. Partagás has a long legacy of crafting cigars with strength and flavor, and this toro-sized masterpiece is no exception. It’s renowned for its rich, earthy character, with notes of cedar, espresso, and a touch of pepper that dances at the finish. It’s a cigar that announces itself strong, confident, and complex but never overwhelming. Every draw tells a story of Havana’s sun, soil, and the meticulous care of master torcedores.
It’s more than a cigar; it’s a benchmark of Cuban craftsmanship. For collectors and smokers alike, it represents a perfect balance of strength, elegance, and history. Partagás has been refining its blends for over a century, and this series captures that mastery in every puff. It’s consistent, reliable, and profoundly satisfying a cigar that leaves an impression long after it’s finished.

Ah, this cigar has a presence. The Serie E No. 2 is a robusto, perfectly sized at 4. 9 inches, but it carries a bold personality that belies its stature. Partagás’ signature earthy and spicy profile shines here: rich tobacco, cedar, dark chocolate, and a gentle peppery bite. What makes it special is its construction it’s firm, evenly packed, and draws effortlessly. Lighting one is like stepping into Havana itself: vibrant, confident, and steeped in tradition. This is a cigar that commands attention, yet rewards patience with every slow, deliberate draw.
The Partagas Serie E No. 2 is a grand robusto (duke) measuring 140 mm by 54 ring gauge. It features a fragile and slightly dry claro colorado wrapper with a firm feel.
The cold draw reveals woody and vegetal notes with a slightly tight draw.
In the first third, the cigar ignites with a slightly green woody flavor, accompanied by thin smoke. Subtle hints of leather emerge within a well-controlled strength.
The second third develops into toasted cocoa notes something not often found in this cigar while the body steadily increases. The combustion remains flawless.
The final third brings little aromatic evolution, maintaining a controlled power level.
Having returned to better form since last year, the Serie E No. 2 still lacks the aromatic depth to surpass four rings. Nonetheless, it delivers a very good overall experience.
