H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - Tin of 5

Date Added: Monday 14 November, 2016 by paul

After reading the previous reviews thought i would give this a go and has been in my humidor for about 2 weeks, no crunch on the cut and on first lighting found it to be very bitter strong ash flavour wich carried on through out. Burn was not very even and ash didn't stack up very well found it to be lose and had to be re lit 3 times and the draw felt very tight. Not sure if i got a dud one here or my humidity in my humidor is not right for this cigar. did pick out a bit of vanilla and leather here and there though. Wasn't very impressed with this one at all not my cup of tea.

I smoked this cigar last night, being my first ever cigar I wanted something fairly mild that had good reviews. I wasn't disappointed. It had a lovey even burn all the way down and tasted great.

this was my first cigar i have ever smoked. at first it was a little full bodies for me but after a few more draws i notice it was given me show much pleasure. the taste, the aromas and complete relaxed feeling. i was starting to really enjoy it. it lasted a awful a lot of time for me (30 mins) and so had to stop and save it for later. even the next day it was a nice smoke but not as good as the firs time. highly recommended (smoking time 20-30 mins).

I have previously reviewed this cigar but felt compelled to write another review. I smoked another one of these beauties today in the park that I had been saving. It was once again absolutely fantastic. It was a lovely mild, nutty, coffee tasting smoke. It burnt slowly and evenly and produced some lovely smoke and great looking ash. These cigars really are exceptional and for such a small cigar it lasts ages and is super smooth. A fantastic cigar and great value for money. I will be buying some more very soon.

Got a couple of these recently for a holiday next month - since they arrived I have been eager to try one after all the positive reviews, and as the wife wasn't feeling too well and decided to go bed early, I did the loving husband thing and took the opportunity to slip away to my man-cave and try one out (or, the official line, to let her get a few hours uninterrupted sleep before I came to bed...) Wow! What a superb little cigar. The flavour was right there from the start (thankfully, on such a small stick) and I found it evolved constantly throughout the half hour or so it lasted me (I wasn't paying particularly close attention to the clock...) Burn was perfect, with no touch-ups needed. Draw was a little tight, but that wasn't a terrible thing on a little one like this. The cigar itself was absolutely delicious. Grass, caramel, dark chocolate, honey and coffee appeared at various points (there were a few draws that reminded me particularly of a caramel latte) Throughout the entire cigar there was also plenty of cream and nuts (at one point, it was specifically walnut). One other review mentions an almost buttery taste, which I would also agree with. I paired it with a Plantation XO 20th anniversary rum, they complimented each other perfectly. The only downsides was that I got a little distracted towards the end and it ended up going out a touch earlier than I would have liked, but that was my fault. I also wish it was a bit bigger so could be a longer experience! I will certainly be getting some more at some point soon, and will be recommending them to my usual smoking buddy when I next see him
