This isn't a negative review as I have not smoked it yet. If you are relatively new to cigars though it is worth noting that this cigar is very long, basically it doesn't fit in my new small humidor.
(I know, I should have checked)Looks great though.

I bought these as they were recommended to me when on holiday in Cuba by an English chap in the Conde de Villanueva hotel. The size put me off back then which I have to admit was as a result of inexperience. As I assumed the better cigars would have to be the bigger ones.
Oh how I was wrong. I bought the 5 tin pack to test as my 'in between cigars' cigar (hope that makes sense) because I didn't want to keep cutting my cigars off half way due to having to stand outside to smoke. This is a stunning cigar, the smoke is nice and thick and gives you plenty of time to consider its flavours. Smooth subtle honey and a touch of coffee make this little number a really pleasurable smoke which lasts me over 30mins
still new to smoking cigars but I truly had a eureka moment with this one. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

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
