The Diplomaticos No.2 is a Piramides size and the only cigar currently produced under the Diplomaticos brand. The sole survivor of the brand’s numbered series, subjected to a long series of discontinuations, which began in 2006 with the No.2 and No.3 and continued in 2010 with No.4 and No.5.
Usually, the cigars are dressed in Colorado or Colorado Maduro-colored wrappers. Almost always, however, they are smooth and without accentuated veins. Construction is good; also thanks to a lower production frequency as distribution is not extended to all global markets.

Diplomaticos Diplomaticos No. 2: woody notes and nuts, with hints of spice, are perceived in the cold draw. The opening reveals notes of hay.
Continuing in the smoke, aromas of cedarwood, hazelnut, and vanilla reach the palate. Strength is medium-light (2/5).
Cedarwood, toasted notes, and balsamic herbs alternate, followed by light white pepper nuances. Strength increases slightly (2.5/5).
The balsamic herbs become more pronounced and become the prominent flavor of this last third. Strength remains constant.
Overall, the Diplomaticos No.2 has a contained flavor intensity, and the complexity does not shine. The smoke is not dense, and something seems to be missing from the only Diplomaticos in regular production.
