Connoisseur Kim Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 This thread makes me want to get a box of E2 due to its high popularity on FOH! Hope that I can sample that CC in some day.

That said, my good friend (and cigar shop owner back in Tampa) Alex has told me many times that if the world ends and they only make one cigar, the E2 is his firm favorite! I always keep a 5 count box in my humidor for when he comes over to play! 5 ct. packs are almost always available in the Int. store ? 1

It also has tubo version in some B&Ms, which is same as Series tubos. 5ct E2 pops in quite frequently on 24:24 though.
Habana Mike Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Been a go to for me since release. Always have a box in the rotation. 1
Bri Fi Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 These are the boxes I have: 25-Partagas Serie E No.2 UBM ABR 19 15-Partagas Serie E No.2 SMA NOV 18 5(2)-Partagas Serie E No.2 LMB MAR 19 5(2)-Partagas Serie E No.2 UAO MAR 19 Partagas is my favorite marca. I loaded up when everyone was giving great reviews... I haven’t had a good one yet. All have been harsh with little flavor. I’m hoping they will smooth out over time. 3 1

Smoked UBM NOV 18 couple of months ago. It was excellent. 1

KavalanWhisky Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 Interesting to read through the thoughts when it was released. This has been in my daily's rotation for quite a while, always feel that D4 isn't enough and the DC is too much so its the perfect candidate for a 1 stick night. 1
Edicion Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 The best E2s I have had came in boxes of 5 or Tubos with at least 3-4 years on them. I find it complex, powerful and full of taste - which is maybe why for some who are used to smoother profiles might find it overwhelming, harsh or too strong. 1
Tstew75 Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 The E2 is one of the top 10 reg-prod cigars coming out of Cuba, and the flagship of the Partagas marca, IMO. Perfectly balanced, as well as (almost always) perfectly constructed. MSU/TUA/UAO/MAR coded boxes are worth fighting over. I buy boxes every time I see them. 4
guideright Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 For my taste a great cigar. Smooth and refined - a couple years and they’re ready to go. Just enjoyed a ‘19 TOU that was grass, hay, touch of spearmint through the retrohale - perfect burn with a light carmel note at the nub -
Jimmy_jack Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 I’ll get my box out for code and year when I get home. For some reason they have all smoked almost like cigarettes. Just plain tobacco with some harshness. No nuance, no transitions. Very sad to say.
wine65 Posted May 25, 2021 Posted May 25, 2021 Just received a box of MAR DIC 20 from our host. I will certainly partake after a month or two of rest to get a baseline. They sure look and smell wonderful!!! 2

It's off topic, but would you mind to share your thoughts on the top 10 reg-prod cigars coming out of Cuba? Thanks.
Jimmy_jack Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 My E2 box is AMO May 2016. Pretty sure that’s El Laguito code. Just not good though as shocking as that may be. I’ll leave them to hibernate and visit again in a few months.
Bri Fi Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 @Lrabold89 I think I had one out of the 25 count box. I believe the problem with that box is the wrappers are a little fireproof. They are very dark and leaning on the thicker side of acceptable. Still, the flavors were a little better than before and a tad bit sweeter. The cigar I had out of the LMB 5 count box was just ok. But yes, they were better than my original post but the difference is marginal.
