New to the cigar world and am currently sampling a number of Cubans.
This is by far the best cigar I’ve had so far into my journey, and the only one where I could actually taste the profile of the stick.
A mild smoke that lasted 55 mins which is perfect for after dinner sat in the garden. To my untrained palate it tasted like chocolate from the off, and it was extremely smooth. Paired really well with a glass of Bumbu.
Burned an absolute treat and I took it to within 3/4s of an inch of its life.
100% box-worthy.

Still very new to cigars, however this is definitely the worst cigar I’ve smoked so far. The first third was very very acrid and bitter, not enjoyable at all. I persevered into the second third which became slightly better. Creamy with coffee notes, however the draw was almost too easy and when I looked into the end there was a large hole through the middle of the cigar (which explains the strange draw). The final third the bitterness returned and I had to put it out. I did not enjoy this cigar at all, but after reading other reviews I think I may have just had a poor stick, but based on this experience there is far better for the money

Ive had one of these cigars sitting in my humidor for a couple of months. With great expectations from all of the positive reviews I decided to settle down to enjoy it today. What an anticlimax it was! The initial lighting was as good as expected but I struggled beyond belief to keep it lit and had to re-light a few times.
In the few puffs where it was on song I could certainly taste the sweet nuttiness reported by others and the justification of their positive reviews. For me, the whole experience was marred by the poor burn. I appreciate Im fairly new to the world of cigars but this was my first experience of such a battle to enjoy a smoke!
Sorry Hoyo, I would like to give you a more positive score but cant in this instance.

Smells like a proper Cuban cigar, hay,nutty, barn yard notes as they say . Beautiful cigar , creamy smoke great burn all the way down . I’ve been back smoking cigars quite regularly now and have to say this is my fav, go to cigar . Brilliant

Classic Cuban for good reason! Medium strength, lovely creamy, nutty cereal like taste with a hint of spice. Lovely balance. One of my favs.

First up, I cannot commend the staff at Cgars highly enough, orders have always been delivered promptly and arrive in perfect condition. This box was delivered by hand!
What a wonderful smoke the Upmann Half Corona is! Mild but complex enough to keep you entertained, beautiful construction, quality is always spot on. They can be smoked all the way down to the shortest stub without becoming bitter. Consistent flavour all the way through the stick.
Perfect for a summer afternoon before dinner.
