I am looking for some alternatives to my usual 'everday' cigar and I thought I'd give these a try. I wasn't expecting much to be honest but I am pleasantly suprised. There was penty of cappucino flavour and overall they are a most acceptabe smoke. Good value for money. Will be buying more in the future.

H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Samuel
An excellent little cigar, perfect for me for something to sit in the sun with for 40 minutes. I did have to relight this cigar once but it does happen sometimes, no biggie. Exquisite flavours of rich sweetness, coffee, leather and spice with hints of aged wood and dark chocolate in there too. I would really recommend these.

The cigar looked flawless, smelt amazing and had been stored perfectly. From first light it was nothing short of BRILLIANT. The first 1/3 was fantastic! Not very spicy, more Monty number 2 esc, cream and buttery. After the first third, either the cigar dulled, or I got used to it. The stick turned slightly blander and less exciting in its flavours, but as I say, this could have been me settling into it and taking the No.2 for granted after the initial influx of perfection. The draw was perfect throughout, and the burn: Faultlessly even. Could I buy a box of these? I'd probably have to try a second to be sure, but first I want to directly compare the Regatta this weekend. A Cigar I have smoked many times before, so I expect a close competition. I am not the number 2's biggest fan, as it can be overwhelmingly buttery to the pallet. But as usual, there is a time and a place for a multitude of different smokes. My date last night with the petit was pretty dam good!

Nice cigar, lots of great sweet dark flavours seems to get sweeter as you burn down it. I had a few burn issues due to some quite large stems in the wrapper, but nothing major.

Got a pack of these as a cheaper alternative for everyday smoking, they are okay and pretty much what I expected. 10 -15 mins worth of not unpleasant but not special smoke. For the price they fit the bill. They do get a little harsh towards the end and I did seem to be getting a lot a tobacco bits in my mouth.

On the one hand the construction of this cigar was near perfect and had a perfect burn all the way to the last inch, on the other I found the taste a little bland with not much going on aside from bitterness, grass, wood and some pepper at certain stages of the smoke. Not bad by any means if you enjoy the more grassy and earthy tastes. This would benefit from some ageing. For what it is and for the price I will give this 4/5, it personally wasn't to my taste but to someone else's palate this may be the perfect short smoke.
