H Upmann Mag 46 vs. #2

[Wookie]

I'm interested in FOHers thoughts between these two because they are somewhat similarly priced with similar smoke times. I find I get a little more smoke time from the #2. But I think the 46 gives me a little more body on average...maybe the 46 is a better after dinner smoke while the #2 is better for earlier in the day. On the whole I think I find myself reaching for the #2 more often. Any thoughts on these two?

I’ve only ever had one 46 I was pleased with.   Have had several No. 2 and always liked the richness and complexity of that vitola.   I’d pick Numer 2s all day until something in a 46 changes my mind

46, but only because I prefer the size, and the consistency and price,   that said a premo Upmann no 2 is better than a premo 46.   love them both

I like them both equally, however I have 2 boxes of 46 and 2 singles of the #2

Each is a staple of mine.

I'm glad I don't have to, but if I could only have one, it would be the 46. I like the CG size a lot, and find the 46 to be a little more robust and to have somewhat less finess than the No. 2.

Yup.

Prefer the 46 over the 2.

Wild when young, fantastic with age.

Although I enjoy the #2.

Mag46 is a staple in my supply and prefer the format/vitola

I feel that 46 needs a lot of time before you can smoke it.

I love the 46 size but I have had consistently better results with the #2. I do find dry boxing the 46 helps.

The Mag 46 is a "dark" cigar. Earth, licorice, burnt coffee. The No. 2 is more toasted tobacco, milk coffee and some baking spice. 

I'm not a fan of either but I have a lot of bad luck with the 46. I'd pick the No. 2 personally.

Prefer the mag46 vitola but the #2 is consistently better flavor. Personally I will always choose flavor over vitola.

#2 is a more casual cigar.

I love them both but my concern is construction on the 46 at times. Reminds me of SLR Regios where I get some tent stakes.
