H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - Box of 25 by Jason

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.

H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Marco

Decent smoke. Fairly mild flavours, not much complexity until the final third. Starts of with typical Cuban hay/earthiness, develops to a nice bit of pepper near the end. Got too spicy near the nub so had to be put out earlier than I normally would. Construction was good, but as it’s hand rolled (I think?) not as great as some others I’ve smoked.

H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 Cigar - 1 Single by Martin

This one arrived in the Cuban mellow mix sampler. Good job it did! Id previously been trying the Upmann tubed corona and found it a bit of a fight with a tight draw but tasted good when you could get it going. This one, the Connoisseur is totally different, very mellow, flavoursome and looks after itself with perfect draw even burn and no effort to get subtle flavours with a light puff. OK its twice the price but worth it. It is now on the wish list for after pay day...

Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto Cigar - Pack of 3 by David

I love these - I always have a pack of three with almost every order. Its a lovely smoke mild and creamy. This one had a perfect draw not too free and not too tight. Burned very well. A great cigar when you dont have the time for an Epicure no. 2

H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Austin

Ive tried a few of these now from 3 different boxes, feeling that surely I must have just had bad luck at first. Every single one of these little things Ive tried has been bitter and with an acrid note that lingers in my mouth. Some ground coffee and nuts with an old toasted tobacco quality, but otherwise bitter, acrid and pointless. Despite the tiny length I just couldnt finish any of them they were so unpleasant. The last one I left to rest in the humidor for a few more months and carefully lit it on a nice day after a good meal with my palate feeling very fresh. Still it was the same unpleasant flavour. The only cigar Ive had lately that was worse was the aptly named Dirty Rat from Drew Estate, which wasnt just a poor or unpleasant cigar but just outright disgusting. From other reviews there must surely be much better examples out there that are quite different, but I can only rate it as I have experienced it. Very poor.
