H. Upmann Coronas J Tubed Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 23 April, 2017 by Colin

DISAPPOINTED :( after only smoking supermarket cigars I thought I would try and find a cigar that I would be happy with for the occasional leisurely smoke . So I started buying cigars at the cheap end of the market from C GARS LTD , but didn't find anything that I would want to smoke as my go to cigar . It was time to step up to the next level and I bought this upmann coronas junior thinking that the " Cuban quality " would provide me with something I would be happy with , WRONG! . The draw on this cigar was so tight from start to finish it was a struggle to keep it going , in fact I only managed 2/3rds before it was thrown away . Not a good experience . Was it a rogue ? I hope so, but where do I go from here after a bad experience with a Cuban ???.

I love this cigar. The construction was flawless and it had a nice even burn all the way down to the finish. The cigar was smooth as silk and the flavours were lovely, fairly mild to my tastes with prominent creamy, coffee and nutty components. Highly recommended.

This is my 'go to' cigar of choice. If I'm going to an event- the races etc. I pop a couple of these in the pocket and I know I will enjoy a decent smoke. It's not the most refined cigar but it's consistency as a tubed cigar is without fault. Every now and then one is tight on the draw, but it's still more than enjoyable. The aroma alone is delightful and the taste even better. I even had non smokers commenting on how lovely the foot smoke was!

Being new to cigars, I decided to try a sampler pack which this was included in.Really enjoyed the smoke. For a beginner this was my favourite.

I had a bad first experience with HU and therefore, I left an appropriate review. Michelle from CGars emailed me within 30 mins of my review and offered a replacement cigar. This is, to me, first class customer service. It gave me an opportunity to sample a better HU and make a decision about the brand fairly. Within a few days the replacement arrived and immediately I could see a contrast with my first Corona. The cigar had a lovely sheen and a good, solid construction. It lit perfectly and the burn was also immaculate.The cigar was sweet and nutty without too much complexity and the final third had a little element of spice. Good solid ash and altogether a good experience. Thanks again to Michelle and CGars for allowing me the chance to review what turned out to be a decent cigar.

Really disappointing. Pre-light the wrapper had a nice oily sheen, but on further inspection there were quite a few nips and one major crack. I persevered and lit the cigar. Within a few minutes the crack split and the wrapper then preceded to unravel in my hand. A few more cracks then opened up and it began to disintegrate. The draw (as others have said) was extremely tight and so what I thought was about to be a nice relaxing 40 mins turned into a very frustrating 20 mins watching a potentially good cigar fall apart in my hands. My first HU and now I dubious about trying any more HU.
