Rows in grey were last read more than 60 days ago: they are history, not quotes, and never count as the cheapest. Listed price for the box of 25 in the retailer's own currency, their own tax included. A box crossing a border picks up destination duty and VAT on top — the "duty paid EU" mark shows the few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market.

The piece

The thick modern Partagás. Same pepper-and-earth profile as Serie D No. 4 in a longer, broader Duke format that hits harder for longer.

Launched in 2010 as Habanos's response to demand for thicker ring gauges, the Partagás Serie E No. 2 is a 5.5-inch cigar with a chunky 54 ring (Habanos calls the shape Duke). It uses the same Partagás factory blend as the Serie D — heavy on Vuelta Abajo ligero, darker Habano wrapper, oilier finish — but the longer, thicker format gives the cigar a slower burn and a fuller body. The result is one of the most-recommended modern Partagás vitolas, and aficionados often compare it favourably to the Serie D No. 4 when they want more of the same character in a longer evening format.

The smoke opens harder than the Serie D. First third is dense black pepper, dark earth and a touch of espresso; the middle blooms into leather, cocoa and aged cedar; the last third delivers a thick, oily finish with cocoa and a whisper of dried fruit. Smoking time runs 75 to 90 minutes. Across Europe a box of 25 sits in the €640 to €780 range: Noblego runs around €680, Cigarworld €695, Cigarmust CHF 750 (~€790 after FX), Italian licensed tabaccherie €700. The €110 absolute spread is one of the wider gaps in the Serie E catalogue, and price-drop alerts here pay off because the Serie E restocks more frequently than the Lusitanias.

    Prices and stock move. Save a price alert and we email you when any retailer drops below your target or the box comes back in stock.

  • Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?

    Only if you live where the retailer is. Every price on this page is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) in the retailer's home country and nowhere else. Buy from a German retailer to a German address and what you see is what you pay. Buy across a border — a Swiss retailer shipping into the EU, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Ireland — and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise and VAT on arrival. How much depends on the destination's excise rate; our import-duty guide walks through the main markets.

    The few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market carry a "duty paid EU" mark in the table.

  • How does Partagás Serie E No. 2 compare to other Partagás cigars?

    Partagás Serie E No. 2 is a Duke, ring 54, 140 mm, full strength, sold in a box of 25. The other Partagás vitolas on the board, each with its own price page, are Partagás Serie D No. 4, Partagás Lusitanias, Partagás Serie D No. 6. Per-cigar price is the fair way to compare them: box sizes differ.

  • Is the price for Partagás Serie E No. 2 likely to drop?

    Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.

    Short-term, prices move at the retailer level — promotions, clearance, a restock at a different price. Where we have a history, the 90-day line on this page shows what the cheapest box in Europe has actually done. A price alert with no target emails you on any drop; setting a target limits it to your budget.
