H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Tuesday 19 May, 2015 by Staff

First of all I would like to say how well this cigar burnt, had no problems with re lighting or bad draw. The cigar produces a beautiful thick smoke and those first few draws have a subtle coffee taste. About half way through it starts to get a slight nutty flavour and a fruity aroma but that might just be me. If you are going to try this cigar I recommend going all the way to the end as there is a really nice fruity taste with a hint of amaretto at the end. A really perfect cigar for any occasion, definitely worth a try.

I found the H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar an absolute delight. It's deminutive size led me to believe it's flavour would be less than it's H.Upmann peers (a brand that is quickly becoming my favourite). It smoked well, and tasted fantastic, all the way down to the end. I think the other reviews capture it's flavour well. Definately a recommended smoke.

Good construction nice and light brown wrapper. Smells earthy with coffee hints in the back. On the fire up I got a great draw with a medium body. creamy taste on the retrohale which lingers on the palate for a while. It almost reminds me of clarified butter My sample burned fairly even. There was one point where I touched it up but it got back to business right away with no fuss. I really enjoyed this cigar. It lasted around 35 mins or so. Fairly consistent with its taste and performance all the way with only a slight increase in earthy tones towards the end. Overall a good little cigar. Slightly on the expensive side, but worth trying the once. I'm definitely going try the others in the H Upmann range.

Excellent draw but the burn was uneven although this may have been my fault when lighting it due to my eagerness to taste it. Good ash until I removed the wrapper to smoke it to the nub. The initial few draws were quite harsh and unpleasant however it quickly mellowed into a delicious smooth smoke with flavours of spice, leather and cocoa. Overall a great little cigar which will definitely become a permanent addition to my humidor. Highly recommended!

Can't be faulted on flavour, this was delicious and smoked right down to the nub. However the burn was uneven and this doesn't feel like great value given it's size.

This was my first smoke since giving up cigarettes 16 years ago. A very gentle reintroduction to the temptations of tobacco. Drew well. No overwhelming nicotine. Remained very pleasant all the way through. No bitterness. Very enjoyable - would be a very good beginner smoke
