Purchased one of these along with a few other Inka cigars, but this was by far my favourite one. A great smoke, really easy draw, and a nice big plume of smoke the whole time. I will be ordering this again.

I am sad that the last reviewer had a bad one, I have smoked 3 of these and I will be getting more, as the one thing that DO have is bags of flavour .also a good burn, lots of smoke that tastes so good I don't want to blow it away.
I you love a full flavoured Cuban , as I do, its nice to mix up the humidor a bit with some good new world sticks as well, so I say go on treat yourself.....

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).

Very surprised by this as it was inexpensive and came in uninspiring brown packaging, regardless this was a very smooth and enjoyable smoke. Last me about an hour and kept its taste to the end. Very happy with it.

I'd had one of these in my humidor for about 6 months and decided to try it a few days ago. What a disappointment! Previous encounters with Oliva cigars had always been favourable but not this time. It burnt well and construction was good but they're the only things that this cigar had in it's favour. The first third was very harsh and left an unpleasant aftertaste and the rest was very bland. At times it seemed as if I were just inhaling steam. If you are considering spending your hard - earned cash on a petit corona give this one a miss. There are plenty of Cubans around costing less.

I buy these all the time and they are my regular daily cigar. I occasionally come across a tight, bad draw but a quick bite off the top usually fixes it. They are on the whole very pleasant, slightly sweet often spicy cigars which burn well with a good draw. They are a great quality alternative to supermarket cigars which I will never go back to. If I could afford to regularly buy a tin of five H. Upmann half coronas I would, but as I can't these will do nicely. Great little daily cigar which I highly recommend.
