H. Upmann Magnum 50 Cigar - Cabinet of 10

Bought a 3 pack of these H.Upmann Cigars - Now I smoke nothing else!! The light flavours and textures definetly suit my personal tastes, great construction and an even burn with matches makes these baby's easy to smoke and enjoy! I've tried Churchills, Cohiba's and Punch cigars but as of a few weeks past I decided to make these my only purchase from now on - just the ideal length and ring size, a manly looking cigar but one that won't pete you out like a super Habano. Weather your new to cigars or just want something different, lighter in texture than a hard smoke maybe? - these H.Up mann's are a real treat. Can't wait to order more in the future, this box of 10 are on the top of my wish list.

A friend of mine, who is far more of a cigar connoisseur then I, told me that this is one of his all time favourite cigars. To an extent I can see why. It is a good manly looking size but won't quite take the commitment that a double corona or churchill might take. It has a good dominant flavour whilst not being too strong. For me the underlying taste notes were rich coffee beans in a cloth sack and probably would make a fine companion to oily dark expresso. For me though there was perhaps a little too much of the bitterness/sourness in this cigar which many others may like, but it is the only reason why this cigar for me does not have 5 stars. I acknowledge the fact however that I have a habit of making this last comment about some cigars because I smoke them too 'young' and will be the first one to edit or re-write this review once I have aged the Magnum 50's for a little longer... I am certain that should you like the bitterness of rich dark coffee's then ths cigar will match up just perfectly for you.
