H. Upmann Magnum 46 Cigar - 1 Single
by Francois
A very nice cigar, it changes flavours with the smoking time. Creamy, chocolate taste at first, it gets spicier halfway through the burn. Quite smooth at first. Even burn, beautiful flavours.

This is the first cigar I have smoked, never thought I would like one as I hate smoking cigarettes but I thought it was worth a try at some point. Anyway this cigar was fantastic, the taste was really nice although I wouldnt know how to describe it really, I suppose like sweet wood. The smoke was so smooth it was just like warm air. Really enjoyable experience I will buy a tin of 5 soon to enjoy on special occasions only! Thanks for the great cigar Cgars! and for the free cutter like I asked! ;)

Easy light, even burn and nice draw.
Thats it.
Cheap looking nasty wrapper with tonnes of veins and knots in it. Its a cheap smoke for a reason.
After one third it tasted like a damp ashtray. Full of tarry flavours and absolutely zero subtlety. I didnt get much further down it because simply put it was horrible. After I put it out I opened it up out of curiosity and I wasnt shocked. Yes its short fill tobacco but thats no excuse for it to look like left over leaves after an autumn sweep up. Considering the other smokes available for a few quid more there really isnt any other reason to buy this other than you cant get to a decent tobacconist or wait on delivery. Save your money ladies and gents as youd be better off wrapping guinea pig bedding in your fiver and smoking that than buying this monstrosity!

First off an admission, Im a new cigar smoker. Ive been smoking a pipe for the past 18 months but never really felt at home with it. The bad smokes outweighed the good by some margin. Ive tried cigars before but due to limits on my personal finances theyve all been at the bottom of the budget ladder. Small, harsh and very hot would best describe them. Then someone gifted me some quality Cuban and New World cigars and I was hooked. Had a kind of where have you been all my life moment. I knew I was a convert but the budget restrictions remained so I had to look for what I could afford. After some research I first tried a Wintermans Corona Sumatra from my local Asda and was pleasantly surprised. Thought it wouldnt hurt to give these a go. Can only say that to my newbie palate they are very acceptable indeed. Low price, good draw, tightly packed, and only really get too hot in the last quarter, and Ive even got around that by employing one of my pipes. Slip the butt in and continue with a very pleasant smoke down to the nub! Sorry of that offends you experienced cigar smoker

This cigar was my first true love as a newbie herfer, way back at the turn of the millennium. Over the years I have smoked many fine cigars and some considerably stronger. However I always come back to the Epi 2 a few times a year and I rekindle that flame I had all those years ago. This afternoon’s one has been in the humidor for a year or so, having been supplied by CGars it is in perfect condition. As always the quality of construction is excellent and a year in the humidor has only added to the subtle complexity of this wonderful cigar.
I can’t say enough about how good this cigar is, so I’m not going to, but I urge anyone who hasn’t tried one to buy one now!

Great smoke! Great construction, amazing burn. Typical Hoyo smoothness with subtle flavours that get a little stronger and more complex in the 2nd third. Possibly a bit weak for anyone who likes a strong smoke, but for fans of creamy smoothness I highly recommend them.
