Tight draw. Couple of touch ups needed. Wrapper started to unravel in 2nd third. Kind of fruity room odour. Lasted around 50 minutes, likely due to how tight the draw was.
First third: Initial blast of pepper. Usual wood and hay taste thereafter. Very smooth.
Second third: Pepper fallen to the background, some nut and creaminess. Hay still there. Finishes slightly fruity. Remains smooth but tight.
Final third: Pepper comes back. Retrohale gives a fruity pepper through the nose. Creaminess and nuttiness still here but less so. Ash fell at this stage. Cigar went out so had to relight.
For me this cigar has good flavour but construction issues marred my experience. Im going to have to try another to see if I had a bad stick

New to the cigar word so I thought IÂ’d begin mild and work my way up slowly. The construction of the cigar was great. It had a tight ash which held for around an inch and a half. It did need a few touch ups but never needed to be relit. The construction was flawless. No real pepper on the retro till the final third. Notes of general nuttiness and cedar with some complexity towards the end of the cigar. A really enjoyable smoke I would recommend.

Had this cigar for the first time today and I really enjoyed it. Perfect mid-afternoon smoke with a coffee whilst watching the football. I’m a slow smoker and I got half an hour out of this. This one is ideal if you are only the occasional cigar smoker, nice and light with that classic Cuban quality. I prefer this to the Cohiba and montecristo equivalent - I do think the Romeo petit royale edges it though.

H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single

Overall a 7/10 stick mainly let down by its poor draw, I purchased two of these cigars and after attempting the first one I assumed it was just a plugged cigar but I then realised that it is just a tightly packed cigar. Despite the draw making it a little bit of hard work the flavours were quintessentially Cuban, definitely on the milder side as you would expect from the Upmann portfolio progressing to medium in the final third at which time I encountered strong peppery notes as the draw also loosened up. Not unsmokable just hard work !
An overall decent stick with great flavours and complexity.

Very interesting pre draw, spicy and slightly sweet leather. Light smoke with a strong flavour of leather and a cedar finish. Somewhat wonky burn but no severe canoeing. First half is a little average but the second half builds the flavour up to the last third being very tasty indeed. Paired with Oban 14 (rather sweet slightly spicy whisky) it goes down very nicely. Heres hoping the rest of the range makes its way to the UK soon.

Theres something quite nice about relaxing in the evening and finding something to do which comes naturally and comfortably.
You can walk through the door after a tough day at work in to the warmth of your living room, settle back in to your armchair and locate the switch on the lamp.
Slowly your feet rise up and rest on the footstall as you adjust yourself further in to a position ready to see whats around you. It may be your chosen book of the week, a copy of the Spectator maybe... Or simply that days newspaper.
The dog is running around and the children are loud and in this time, they are not annoying. Nothing is. The only thing between you and the current world is that reading material and what lays in your clean ashtray - already cut and sitting almost as if in a life of its own, patiently.
You look at the band and possibly think of how happy J.F.K was to order his cigars of the same company. Out comes the lighter or Cedar matches (you decide... No hurry). First burn... Second burn... Light! The plumes of cool smoke surround your face. Some have suggested tastes of
