H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single
by Thomas
This cigar was plugged around the band area so I poked a hole from the head and it did sort out the draw though it was still a little tighter than perfect and did cause some tunnelling later on but nothing too bad.The first third was light with Nutty and cedar, second third a sweetness started to develop and I got hints of milk chocolate. Stayed smooth throughout. Nutty and tangy with earth coming in for the final third. Into the final third there was a floral earthy taste which must be that classic Upman 'olive' taste. Though if I hadn't have read about it I probably wouldn't have been able to put my finger on it. Got slightly spicy towards the end. Had it in my humidor for about 5 months but I think another 6 months would have helped bring out the more subtle chcolatly sweetness more. Burn was uneven but was correctable.
In conclusion this was a little rougher than I would expect but I am putting that down to youth. I will be buying more to put away for a few years as these have a lot of potential and are good value

H. Upmann Magnum 50 Cigar - 1 Single
by Connor
Has Mild to medium flavour and the draw is perfect throughout the stick and delivers a nice coat of smoke on the palette. flavour wise first third is a a straight tabbacco and pepper which gradually faded into a creamy leather note, there's also a slight grass note which underlings the finish which reminds me a lot like the cohiba grassy ness you tend to get from the Siglo line.
Second third still taking the tobacco core pepper has dropped off and has been replaced with the grassy note which had previously been apparent on the finish in the first third now however finish is also stuck with the main characteristics with that creamy leather however there's been and introduction to a slight coffee and coco note which mixes with the cream to deliver a mocha note the only other thing to note is slight strength increase from first light.
In the final third the draw flavours are still the same the only change is the coco has faded off the finish and a salty liquorice has been replaced other than the the finish flavours are the same, also strength has had another increase. Good burn as

Had one of these just last night, and to be honest it wasn't the best, wasn't the worst. To me the quality reflects the price, as it was a rather quick smoke, maybe around 15/20 minutes at a push. If you're looking for a cigar that'll impress you, look elsewhere, but I'd recommend this as a first cigar. Draw to me was effortless, not too much smoke.

Reviews are personal and I know this cigar generally gets good reviews but I was not that impressed. Don't know if I got a bad one or not but didn't really enjoy it. Construction was not great, wrapper had started to peel a bit. Cut was not clean and again wrapper started to peel a little. Taste, it was ok - the first 1/3 was enjoyable but I found it a bit harsh beyond half way. Not great, but not not bad. I will probably get another just to try and see if its better second time round.

Lovely cigar, still quite new to cigars but H Upmann is fast becoming my favourite brand.
The cigar lit easily and burned well with an even draw, even more so than the corona junior which was also nice, and a lovely flavour with a slightly coffee-ish aftertaste. Went well with an ale while enjoying the midday sun, seems like very much an anytime, any reason smoke.
