Bought a 3 pack of these H.Upmann Cigars - Now I smoke nothing else!!
The light flavours and textures definetly suit my personal tastes, great construction and an even burn with matches makes these baby's easy to smoke and enjoy!
I've tried Churchills, Cohiba's and Punch cigars but as of a few weeks past I decided to make these my only purchase from now on - just the ideal length and ring size, a manly looking cigar but one that won't pete you out like a super Habano.
Weather your new to cigars or just want something different, lighter in texture than a hard smoke maybe? - these H.Up mann's are a real treat.
Can't wait to order more in the future, this box of 10 are on the top of my wish list.

Cohiba Behike BHK 52 Cigar - 1 Single
by Thomas
A cigar that every aficionado, and at least everyone who enjoys cigars should try and judge for themselves. Okay, the presentation is perfection in a cigar, setting the bar for construction and size. The draw was easy and the aroma spicy and tobacco-listic (if that is a word!)!
Initially there was a hint of nuttiness and light peppers, and exceptionally smooth. It tasted, for me, surprisingly light in strength and medium in body, having the same blandness as a Robusto T with hardly any bitterness, with smoke enough to satisfy your average cigar smoke lover, not too much to overwhelm a room.
The middle portion brought out a roasted, toasty caramel flavour, hints of cedar, and peppers increasing slightly, while maintaining that super smooth kick. However towards the final 1/3 the flavours did intensify becoming more medium to full bodied (for me at least!), bringing out hints of fruitiness, nutty almonds, sweetness, and a thicker smoke. Yet the stick did leave my mouth rather dry and salty.
As for the ash, it did start off smooth with some flakiness, but toward the middle and

The Cohiba Maduro 5 is the cigar that re-introduced back to Cohiba. Too many Cohibas for me are sharp and dry in taste and perhaps not up to the standard they should be. My first Maduro 5 experience was in the smaller size and was a cracking smoke... Normally I prefer a larger ring guage and so purchased a box of the Genios. They did not let me down as they had all the qualities I enjoyed in the smaller size. They have a lovely subtle sweetness to them accompanied by a very moreish saline (salty) taste to them. Its a very smooth smoke but one none the less that should be enjoyed late evening rather then a 'day' cigar. These are on the strong side of medium in flavour. A very worthwhile place to start if you are unfamiliar with the dark maduro wrappers. Enjoy!

Not to my taste; I much prefer a Chinchalero Chico.

Had a couple of these whilst on holiday in Cuba and decided to bring a few back as presents for non-cigar smokers as they cost around £2 each there. The tobacco is not the best but it is at least 100% Cuban, machine rolled so quite loose and inconsistent but relatively even burning if a little quick and stored in unsealed cheap plastic tubes and often not in humidores so often a little dried out. It's a good cheap souvenir cigar for the tourists who otherwise wouldn't bother. If a fiver is your budget then you are better off with a smaller but better quality cigar.
