H. Upmann Coronas Major Tubed Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Wednesday 03 September, 2025 by Richard

The H. Upmann Major Coronas felt like a really classic Cuban experience for me. Right from the start, there was that signature smoothness—cedar, light spice, and a creamy texture that made it very approachable. The draw was just right, offering a steady flow of aromatic smoke. Flavor-wise, it had a nice balance of wood, earth, and a touch of nuttiness. About halfway through, I noticed a floral note along with some sweetness that kept things interesting. The burn line wasn’t perfect, but it corrected itself without much effort. What stood out most was how refined it felt—everything was in harmony, with no harshness or bitterness. Compared to some of the stronger Nicaraguan smokes I’ve tried, this felt more subtle and elegant, though still full of character. By the final third, the flavors deepened, with more earth and spice, but it never lost its smoothness. This cigar gave me a real sense of Cuban tradition and why brands like H. Upmann are so respected. I’d definitely keep a few of these on hand for when I want something classic and dependable. Rating: 8/10

This was my first time smoking one of these, I’m new to cigar smoking so thought this was ideal. Instead it was a bit of an ordeal… Uneven burn and went out on multiple occasions, the last 3rd was particularly poor. Will avoid in the future.

Last of the three tube sampler pack, fortunately this was better than the previous two (minor and J). Lit and drew much better, mild smoke although it took a little effort to keep it going. Frankly a disappointing sampler pack and compared to say the rainy day samplers there was little comparision

I picked up one of these babies at Frankfurt train station on a recent trip to Germany and, having never tried an H. Upmann before, I was pleasantly surprised. The construction seemed almost flawless with a dark, smooth wrapper and an inticing, spicy aroma. It lit easily and held its ash well. The ash dropped off by itself when it was around 3.5cm long. The smoke itself had a lovely smell to it, rich and spicy. I found this to be a very tasty smoke with sweet, fruity earthy notes and a hint of clementine. It lasted me nearly an hour, not including ten minutes I left it and it went out. I’ve read others complaining that these don’t like staying alight but mine only went out when I left it. I really have no complaints with this cigar and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who likes light to medium strength smokes. On my return journey I picked up another three to put in my humidor. Maybe they’ll get even better!

Please ignore my comment of Sunday 21 December, 2014. It was meant for the H. Upmann Coronas "Junior". I haven't tried a "Major" yet, but I'm a lover of the "minor". Sorry for the error. Oooops !

Bought a pack of three to sample. Just tried first cigar. It lit, it burnt, but just didn't draw. Hopeless. Will try another one another day, perhaps it was just a badly made cigar and I was unlucky to get that one. Nothing like the Coronas Minor which, in my opinion, is vastly superior. Perhaps I'm being mean with the rating, but I really was disappointed.
