Oh my word what a fantastic cigar. It was so smooth and creamy and really mild. It did burn quite quickly which was a bit sad as I was enjoying it so much and did get a bit warm, but I smoked it until there was nothing left to hold onto. The ash looked wonderful. I really recommend this cigar - an exceptionally good smoke.

H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
Got a couple of these recently for a holiday next month - since they arrived I have been eager to try one after all the positive reviews, and as the wife wasn't feeling too well and decided to go bed early, I did the loving husband thing and took the opportunity to slip away to my man-cave and try one out (or, the official line, to let her get a few hours uninterrupted sleep before I came to bed...)
Wow! What a superb little cigar. The flavour was right there from the start (thankfully, on such a small stick) and I found it evolved constantly throughout the half hour or so it lasted me (I wasn't paying particularly close attention to the clock...)
Burn was perfect, with no touch-ups needed. Draw was a little tight, but that wasn't a terrible thing on a little one like this.
The cigar itself was absolutely delicious. Grass, caramel, dark chocolate, honey and coffee appeared at various points (there were a few draws that reminded me particularly of a caramel latte) Throughout the entire cigar there was also plenty of cream and nuts (at one point, it was specifically walnut).

Hmm, what to say, well, very good. Quite floral at first before finding a shallow but satisfying mix of Cedar and leather. Burn was a bit erratic but I think this was down to quite loose packing, maybe a Friday afternoon effort. A nice cigar, didn't make me go wow but not a lot to criticise about it. I got the occasional hint of something special but just not enough of it. Very enjoyable, perhaps another example may get me a bit more effusive. Who knows, that's the joy of cigars.

H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Joshua
Very good little stick. Smoked well and fairly evenly. The flavour was fairly creamy and moderately intense for a light to medium bodied cigar. The flavour didn't drop and it was easily smokable to the butt of the cigar. Would definitely smoke again, as it is a very flavoursome little stick. Got about a half hour smoke which was impressive for the size.

The Upmann half corona is a all time favourite of mine, full of great flavours and is often paired with a coffee which complements one another beautifully. I have always recommended these cigars not just on their guaranteed creamy flavours but also as a good short time smoke(around 20min) I often add these on my order as my humidor wouldn't be complete without them.
