H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 10 January, 2016 by Glenn

I bought these as they were recommended to me when on holiday in Cuba by an English chap in the Conde de Villanueva hotel. The size put me off back then which I have to admit was as a result of inexperience. As I assumed the better cigars would have to be the bigger ones. Oh how I was wrong. I bought the 5 tin pack to test as my 'in between cigars' cigar (hope that makes sense) because I didn't want to keep cutting my cigars off half way due to having to stand outside to smoke. This is a stunning cigar, the smoke is nice and thick and gives you plenty of time to consider its flavours. Smooth subtle honey and a touch of coffee make this little number a really pleasurable smoke which lasts me over 30mins still new to smoking cigars but I truly had a eureka moment with this one. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Lovely cigar, still quite new to cigars but H Upmann is fast becoming my favourite brand. The cigar lit easily and burned well with an even draw, even more so than the corona junior which was also nice, and a lovely flavour with a slightly coffee-ish aftertaste. Went well with an ale while enjoying the midday sun, seems like very much an anytime, any reason smoke.

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.

Very smooth cigar! As a bit of a newbie to the cigar scene I'm not so great with the technicalities but I can honestly say this is one of my favourites so far! Delicious flavours all the way through. Would recommend this little one to anyone

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.
