Measures a length of 5 1/2 inches by 54 ring gauge, The cigar is meant to be smoked slowly, fully allowing the smoker to appreciate its rich and robust flavors. The smoke of the Partagas Serie E No. 2 is full-bodied and robust, with notes enriched by a very intense woody note, followed by floral notes and earthy hints. A cocoa nuance also appears towards the end of the cigar, adding an exciting dimension to the smoking experience.
