ElPuro Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Just curious of the consensus on the E2. Big fan of Bolivar and Partagas, and thinking about picking up some of these. Worth the coin?
Boss Hog Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Currently smoking through a box (RUE JUL11) and they are simply incredible.
amosnaim Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I love them Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk
ElPuro Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 Wonder why you don't see ppl posting these on the daily smoke thread? They certainly seem to get great reviews.
mk05 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I find Partagas great for winter time. Spicy, deep, dark flavors. Can't do it in summer - I'll pass out.
subport Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 One of my favourite is Partagas. Love me some psd4, shorts, mille fleures, 898, lusitania...and so on and so on. Not a fan of P2's and can't stand E2's though. Never had a decent one. But thats only me. I dont like the format either...not for me. I'll pass.
Lotusguy Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Not a Partagas fan in general but these are very nice.
jdo2110 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Agree with Lotusguy. The E2 taste creamier to me than a typical Partagas. Rich flavor without feeling like I ate a beef stew dinner... which is what I feel like with any other Partagas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Curious if it tasted poorly or if there were specific issues that you don't appreciate.
Carts Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Definitely a nice stick. Can't go wrong with them.
JohnS Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Let me preface this by saying I've not sampled this cigar, but from what I gather, it's one of those that you either hate or love. It was also noted for variations in consistency, both in construction and tasting, when it first came out. It has unique dimensions at 140 mm or 5 1/2 inches x 54 ring gauge (a Dukes). If you love this, stick with it I say! http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=114323
Randolph Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 For the E2's I've smoked they have been excellent. First bought in a box of 5, then three boxes of 5 and they were all a wonderful smoke. Full flavour and ticked all most boxes for one of my favourite cigars. Now have two boxes of 25. One from 2011 the other from 2015. The 2015's I'll store for a few years - when I hope I'll find they were a good box too!
jp1979 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Wasn't my favorite of the Party line up, prefer the 4. There are plenty of guys that love them though.
subport Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Anything in particular you dislike? Curious if it tasted poorly or if there were specific issues that you don't appreciate. First of all the vitola itself however wanted to try anyway. Note also only had 2x fiver wooden box. One from 13 the other is 14... still has 2 in the 13 (PUM FEB) Taste-wise I miss everything what I like in Partagas generally. The sweet cognac like core, the spices. Feels like Partagas without its real soul. Kinda muted. This could be the reason why the other guys saying they DO like it while they dont like partagas in general. Just a different thing. You cant go wrong with a 5er and figure it out for yourself before pulling a trigger on a box.
sw15825 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I have burned through several boxes of them 2011and 2012. Loved them and they are the best Partagas Serie cigars to me. 3
Charltonc Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Love the e2s from 11,12 and 13 I've smoked over 4 boxes of these and I don't like the size. 1
Bartolomeo Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Love them, OR is favorite, a staple in my humi 1
galtline Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I like D's Better seem to be more spicy and better taste.
celtmick1984 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 last ones I had were just so so, but then I wasn't feeling so well myself.
Lant63 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Much more consistent than the d4, tastes better, and a better size in my opinion. 2
nick2021 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I really enjoy this cigar as others have stated!
fabes Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Was intrigued by this thread and sparked up a ABR 13 from a 5 ct box. Very enjoyable. The first I had last year from another 5ct was outstanding, but the rest of that box was meh. Seems that Partagas and I are love it or hate it. Doesn't matter on vitola. They are either mighty tasty or negligable. Exception being the 2014 LE, I really enjoy those.
El Presidente Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 HDM Epicure Especial meets Partagas. Love them. Creamy, touch of savoury spice, complex, smooth as silk.
