Appearance:

The Gran Reserva presentation is nothing short of majestic. The cigars come housed in a numbered, high-gloss black lacquered boîte nature box of 15 — sleek, elegant, and unmistakably exclusive, with only 5,000 boxes produced worldwide. The box alone signals that this is not a regular production smoke, but a collector’s piece destined for serious humidors. The cigar itself is thick and imposing in its Duke vitola (54 × 140mm), carrying real presence in the hand. The wrapper is a deep, oily Colorado Maduro shade, dark brown with a rich sheen that reflects its five-year maturation. Veins are minimal, the surface is silky smooth, and the construction feels dense and perfectly packed. The classic Partagás band is complemented by the distinctive black-and-gold Gran Reserva secondary band, elevating the overall look to something truly ceremonial. The triple cap is beautifully applied — a mark of master craftsmanship.

Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

At cold, the wrapper releases inviting aromas of aged cedar, barnyard, and deep earth. There’s a mature sweetness present — hints of dark cocoa and dried fruit — that immediately reveal the extended tobacco aging. From the foot, richer notes emerge: leather, espresso beans, and a subtle pepper spice. On the lips, the wrapper feels velvety and slightly oily. The cold draw offers perfect resistance and delivers flavors of toasted oak, cocoa powder, and faint caramel sweetness. There is depth before the flame even touches the foot — a clear sign that this cigar was built for complexity.

Burn/ Draw

After a precise cut, the draw is exemplary — medium resistance with abundant airflow, exactly what you want from a 54 ring gauge cigar. Once lit, the Serie E No.2 Gran Reserva Cosecha 2015 produces thick, creamy plumes of smoke with minimal effort. The burn line is generally straight and slow, reflecting the dense, well-aged tobaccos. Minor touch-ups may occasionally be needed, but overall combustion is consistent and refined. The ash forms compact, firm stacks in light grey to white tones, holding on impressively and reinforcing the cigar’s flawless construction.

Initial third:

The cigar opens bold yet controlled. Deep earth and rich leather dominate the profile, accompanied by notes of roasted hazelnuts and dark cocoa. A measured pepper spice dances on the retrohale, adding structure without overwhelming the palate. The smoke is dense, creamy, and luxuriously textured. There is a subtle sweetness beneath the power — hints of cedar and toasted oak balancing the strength. Body sits at medium-to-full, but the smoothness from the five-year aging prevents any harsh edges. The ash builds beautifully and holds firm through the first third.

Middle third:

As the cigar moves into its heart, the profile becomes more layered and sophisticated. The pepper softens slightly, allowing sweeter elements to shine — caramel, toasted almonds, and a touch of citrus zest begin to appear. Notes of espresso and dark chocolate deepen, creating a velvety richness across the palate. The strength edges closer to full-bodied, but the balance remains impeccable. The smoke stays cool and creamy, and the draw continues to perform flawlessly. The complexity increases rather than sharpens, a testament to the extended aging of the 2015 harvest tobaccos.

Final third:

In the final stretch, the Serie E No.2 asserts its full Gran Reserva identity. Leather intensifies, dark chocolate becomes richer, and dried fruit notes — figs and dates — emerge with warmth. The pepper resurges on the retrohale, delivering a satisfying, spicy crescendo. Despite the strength, the cigar never turns harsh. The smoke remains smooth and substantial, and the burn stays reliable down to the final inch. You find yourself smoking it nearly to the nub, reluctant to let it go. It finishes bold, elegant, and long on the palate.

In summary: the Partagás Serie E No.2 Gran Reserva Cosecha 2015 is a powerful, impeccably aged masterpiece that delivers depth, elegance, and collector-level exclusivity — and with further aging, it is destined to become even smoother, richer, and more valuable over time.
