H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Tuesday 21 July, 2020 by John

Still very new to cigars, however this is definitely the worst cigar I’ve smoked so far. The first third was very very acrid and bitter, not enjoyable at all. I persevered into the second third which became slightly better. Creamy with coffee notes, however the draw was almost too easy and when I looked into the end there was a large hole through the middle of the cigar (which explains the strange draw). The final third the bitterness returned and I had to put it out. I did not enjoy this cigar at all, but after reading other reviews I think I may have just had a poor stick, but based on this experience there is far better for the money

Decent smoke. Fairly mild flavours, not much complexity until the final third. Starts of with typical Cuban hay/earthiness, develops to a nice bit of pepper near the end. Got too spicy near the nub so had to be put out earlier than I normally would. Construction was good, but as it’s hand rolled (I think?) not as great as some others I’ve smoked.

Ive tried a few of these now from 3 different boxes, feeling that surely I must have just had bad luck at first. Every single one of these little things Ive tried has been bitter and with an acrid note that lingers in my mouth. Some ground coffee and nuts with an old toasted tobacco quality, but otherwise bitter, acrid and pointless. Despite the tiny length I just couldnt finish any of them they were so unpleasant. The last one I left to rest in the humidor for a few more months and carefully lit it on a nice day after a good meal with my palate feeling very fresh. Still it was the same unpleasant flavour. The only cigar Ive had lately that was worse was the aptly named Dirty Rat from Drew Estate, which wasnt just a poor or unpleasant cigar but just outright disgusting. From other reviews there must surely be much better examples out there that are quite different, but I can only rate it as I have experienced it. Very poor.

My first smoke after a 12 year break and what a welcome return! I chose the half corona size because I wanted to ease my way back in. I always liked Upmann in the past for their full bodied flavours and I was certainly rewarded with this small smoke - full flavour, light smoke, warm taste and soft on the palette. The notes stayed with me all day and it was good to be able to savour that all evening long. It is great to be back and I will be adding this little beauty to my on-line basket again very soon.

Small, mild to medium, sweet and milky coffee notes in the beginning with a peppery end. Perfect for your coffee break. David - C.Gars Ltd Cigar Ambassador

Already bought 5 more :) this is a great cigar! Smooth with a hint of spice on the plate and a lovely sweet woody finish. I paired it with a vodka & sparkling blood orange, this was really enjoyable so a sweet bourbon of scotch would work well. Nice and light stick with a subtle bit of black pepper tones mixed with the woody flavours 20-30 mins smoke ANYTIME OF DAY it’s not a flavour bomb that wants to knock you flat out in your seat. But it is 100% flavourful and interesting. I’ve bought a couple 54 magnums as well due to the fact I loved the taste so much that I want it in a longer smoke also. Buy one and enjoy
