Great little cigars, mild with nice typical Dutch blend flavours with a hint of spice, they last me at least 25 minutes outdoors so excellent value for money!
I just wish the finish lasted a bit longer.
I rate them 4.9 out 5

I guess you would say that I am a seasonal cigar smoker, that is to say, that I don’t smoke every day and ususally only outside in the summer. So after my winter cigar hibernation,(from which I emerge maybe once on New Year’s Eve for a rather chilly herf huddled around the patio heater), I like to start off the season by aclimatising my pallate with a milder cigar, usually an HdM Epicure No.2. My enjoyment of cigars is usually curtailed by the weather conditions and my ability to sit still and enjoy a cigar without the cold making it a more rushed experience than I would like. After an unusually stunning summer here in the UK and some wonderfully relaxing herfing while in France, the last few weeks of wet and dreary weather had left me hankering for a cigar.
Today’s conditions were as perfect as we are likely to get for some time, so suitably attired, I headed out to the garden with an relatively mild espresso, a tot of Havana Club Especial and a petit robusto.
As with most HdM cigars, the construction is very good, with lovely matte oily wrapper starting to develop after a l

This cigar is quite interesting. It has a number of benefits -
1. Its dry cured so it doesnt need a humidor, though like any dry cured cigar it tastes a bit better IMO after proper humidification.
2. Its pre-cut so it can be smoked anywhere at any time.
3. Its quite a decent ring gauge and length - just shy of a petit corona. It certainly feels like a real cigar rather than a cigarillo like a half corona from Henri Wintermans.
4. It burns well and lights very easily - never had an issue with it burning in strange ways.
5. It comes in a tube despite being sold for less than a fiver, whereas its Cuban competitor Guantanamera is a good few pounds more for a tubos. The tube means it can be stored and protected anywhere.
The main con -
It tastes like a Henri Winterman i.e. relatively cheap, Dutch tobacco. I happen to like the flavour so its not a con for me, but if you like the flavour of Cuban or Nicaraguan tobacco and just cant stand the Dutch mix of Brazilian and Indonesian leaf it wont be for you.
I think this is excellent value for a cigar and it is very useful for

H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single

I want to comment on the H Upmann Majestic’s construction. I had 3 in my XIKAR travel case with a medium sized Bovida humidity control pack and smoked my 3rd cigar today, about a month after purchase. The cigar had an inch of ash all the way to the final inch. Easy draw and so easy to smoke outside in the wind that I think is amazing. Compared to the Romeo Y Julieta Petit Coronas that I found got stodgy half way through the cigars, the H Upmann Majestic provides a consistent easy 30-40 minute smoke, with a faultless burn. What is not to love? 😊👍

H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single
by Simon
After going through the ordeal of being retired on health grounds I haven decided to spend my time enjoying cigars, while my health alliows me. Both my late grandfather’s smoked pipes and used to give me the occasional King Edward cigar. I always found them bitter and put me off. On my 21st Birthday I was given a box of Havana’s that I remember enjoying at the time. Thanks to Callum’s (Chester’ shop) YouTube recommendation saying the H Upmann Majestic is a “anytime cigar” I ordered 3 to try. No bitterness at all and easy to smoke right down to the final half inch. A have a new hobby!!

I finished this stick just under an hour. The construction and draw is excellent. Creamy, sweet and woody. A fantastic morning smoke. I will be buying more of no2.
