Date Added: Monday 11 May, 2020
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...

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.

My first smoke after a 12 year break and what a welcome return! I chose the half corona size because I wanted to ease my way back in. I always liked Upmann in the past for their full bodied flavours and I was certainly rewarded with this small smoke - full flavour, light smoke, warm taste and soft on the palette. The notes stayed with me all day and it was good to be able to savour that all evening long. It is great to be back and I will be adding this little beauty to my on-line basket again very soon.
