Not a lot in the pre light fragrance. Upon lighting the initial draw was very light and reminded me of a hamlet. Slight sweetness, a bit of a light leathery taste. As the first third continued these tastes got stronger and the sweetness levels reduced. By the end of the first third the sweetness was gone and the taste was slightly bitter. The burn was good and even for the first third.
No surprises in the second third: the taste of leathery tobacco continue. The burn remains even and for the size of the cigar the ash hold together well. One thing that I noticed was that there is not a lot of smoke output from this small cigar.
Into the final third and this cigar has quite a strong leathery taste, the bitter notes are a bit more prevalent. I decided to end this in the final third, I think I could have gotten another 5-10 minutes from it had I persevered, but there wasn't enough taste to make me want to burn my fingers.
Overall this was an OK smoke, the cigar smoking time was exactly 25 minutes for me. It is a bit bland on the flavours, a mild cigar that did get a bit bi

Being new to the world of cigars I am trying various brands. This was my first h.upmann and I found it a real treat, lovely draw, even burn. Quite a mellow flavour but intensified in the final third. Recommend.

Purchased one of these on some guidance they would be a smooth smoke - After review it was overall a pleasant cigar. However, I felt the smoke was a little pokey and the spice of the cedar a little strong to be classes as smooth. 4* as enjoyable but stronger than they look!

Wow, what a smoke. I'm new to cigars so I don't have much to benchmark against but this was the cigar that peaked my interest. It was a very smooth smoke throughout, nice woody and leathery flavours blending into light and sweet spice further down. I found the flavour profile quite complex which kept me interested throughout. Took about an hour to smoke. Will definitely have again.

I've had a couple of these recently and they're let down in terms of consistency. The first was very rich and tightly rolled but happily still smoke-able. The second was far paler and a little too loose for my preference. Neither were terrible but I don't feel that I could recommend them to friends. As such I can't really get excited about them which is a shame as outside of a belicosa the robusto is by far my favourite vitola.

An excellent and good value every day cigar. Well made with a good burn and mellow flavour, Not to be rushed though - a good 30 minutes needed to enjoy.
