H. Upmann Magnum 50 Cigar - 1 Single
by Staff
H. Upmann was the first brand I got into and I frequently recommend them for beginners, due to the blend's mild flavour profile. However, the magnum 50 packs considerably more punch than many of the other vitolas, with a surprisingly leathery flavour and sweet, subtle hints of honey. The 50 ring gauge allows plumes of thick smoke from a very easy draw. The increased strength of this stick makes it perfect for people who have enjoyed sizes like the Majestic and Corona juniors, but are yearning for something with a bit more power! -Calum, Turmeaus Chester

I tend to smoke more full bodied cigars than this, but I really enjoy them for morning smokes. A nice easy draw provides copious amounts of thick but mild smoke. Beautifully crisp flavours of sweet honey and hazelnut remain consistent throughout, with just a touch of spice when exhaled through the nose. The finish is extremely clean, making this a perfect first smoke of the day. -Calum, Turmeaus Chester.

I have literally just broke my cigar virginity with these , I was looking for a cigar of light to medium and around the same size as these as I ventured into my curiosity with what all the fuss about cigars are, accompanied with a glass off brandy I relaxed and lit up the cigar, I can't really give an opinion on how good or bad these are but I enjoyed every minute and so begins my journey of experiencing the finer things in life

Good construction nice and light brown wrapper.
Smells earthy with coffee hints in the back.
On the fire up I got a
great draw with a medium body. creamy taste on the retrohale which lingers on the palate for a while. It almost reminds me of clarified butter
My sample burned fairly even. There was one point where I touched it up but it got back to business right away with no fuss.
I really enjoyed this cigar. It lasted around 35 mins or so. Fairly consistent with its taste and performance all the way with only a slight increase in earthy tones towards the end.
Overall a good little cigar. Slightly on the expensive side, but worth trying the once. I'm definitely going try the others in the H Upmann range.

I'll keep it short and sweet. If you like smoking the Upmann magnum 46 & 50, you should try this. Its a very smooth sweet tasting cigar. It has a thick creamy taste with dark chocolate snf coffee taste. The amount of smoke it produces is similar to its siblings. The only negative issue I found was that the burn was not even but saying that, ig built I would say 2.5 inches of ash before falling off. I've still got another one and will see of that has uneven burn or whether it was that specific cigar that had the burn issue. In conclusion, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

This cigar was recommended to me yesterday for my "birthday smoke", and I must admit it was wonderful.
I have not smoked many cuban's and the ones I have were too strong for me but the Epicure Especial is "just right".
No problem with the lighting up, smooth easy draw with even burn and a very pleasant taste.
All in all, this is a mild cigar but mild in a cuban is like medium in other cigars I have tried and for me this was perfect.
Highly recommended.
