This was a fantastic smoke! Wonderful flavors, lots of cedar, and even a hint of citrus which I really enjoyed. The draw was a bit snug on this one, but not enough to start poking it, and certainly not enough to pitch. I really love this size, and I mean how can you go wrong with a cuban Partagas?

This was Cigar Aficionado’s #4 cigar in 2011. They had this to say:

“The cigar, originally called the Partagás Pirámide, was released in 2000, scoring in the high 80s in our publications.

The popular smoke was made part of the regular Cuban cigar portfolio, and was renamed the Serie P No. 2, again scoring in the upper 80s. In recent years, however, these cigars have gone from good to great. Versions in 2006 scored 90 points, the scores crept up to 91 points by 2009, and last year the cigar scored even higher. In this tasting, it scored a near classic 94 points.”
