H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 25 May, 2014 by Asam

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

This lovely little cigar is extremely smooth and is an excellent choice for beginners as well as more seasoned cigar lovers. It is well constructed, burns evenly and draws easily, meaning you can concentrate on the flavour and aroma rather than worrying about the technical aspects of the cigar. It had a pleasant flavour which kept on developing as the cigar burned down. But while the flavour did intensify, it remained mild. The other reviewers said their half coronas became slightly bitter towards the end, but I'm happy to report that was not the case with mine. My only regret? That it didn't last longer. I nearly burned my fingers trying to get every last puff out of my Upmann. Undignified? Yes. Delicious? Most definitely.
