I would guess that Serie E is a 52 ring gauge because Series A was 38, Series B was 40 something, Series C was 48, D was 50. I would guess Edmundo.

is the partagas P2 not a 52 RG?

Seems strange that they would go to a narrow ring gauge with the current marketing direction, likely only to get wider.

Also consider that a regular production D5 will not use the aged tobacco of the EL.

If I remember correctly in Min Ronny's book theres' a table showing the various original Partagas Series sizes - A to D denoting ring gauge (D the biggest) & the numbers denoting length (4 the shortest). Assuming the E2 follows this coding then it'll be fatter and longer than a D4 - presumably the same length as a P2 & with a 52 or 54 ring. Don't know what that would make it in terms of these new-fangled vitolas - a Robusto Extra?

Nice one bud...looking it up as we speak..

Bunga bunga! I'll certainly have a go on these. Which reminds me I need to get some of the Serie D Especial amongst other things...

i just hope if it is priced similarly to the PE, it will taste like the LE issue.

D5 is one hell of a smoke, I just love it. its not a better D4, its a completely differerent anamial.

Totally agree with you Sean. Very, very different smoke. Same way the the Edmundo and PE are different...

Price-wise though, I think they'll be much the same as the PE. They're going to be a regular line so (I hope) they'll be priced similarly

Hi Sean. I've seen the D5 EL on quite a few web sites but they're quite expensive. I'm hoping the new D5 will be priced the same as the Monte PE and HdM PR...fingers crossed

For same money as PE or PR? i choose D5 EL all the time, so I doubt the price will be priced as such. No way, otherwise i am get a few boxes hahaa

partagas already have a strong DC market hold with the lusitania, my guess would be "especial", something like a panetela.

Would be nice, but I bet it isn't given this year they discontinued the entire Serie Connaisseur. A new Especial would be like mending something which wasn't broken.
