H. Upmann Majestic Cigar - 1 Single

A very well constructed cigar. Draw was perfect, not to tight and not to loose. It was quite creamy wich is my favorite, it also had hints of wood and was nutty. I would have expected a better burn but its not every day you find a cuban long filler hand rolled cigar for this amazing price. Exelent value and i would recomend this as a first cigar.

Very enjoyable. I smoked this while reading a book and it was a perfect compliment to such. Perfect draw, just a little resistance as you'd like and a great burn. The Majestic is very flavourful but isn't particularly complex, however you don't always want that, with a box of these you'd know what to expect. In the first third it was quite mild with a nutty, woody taste. In the second third it built upon these flavours and became slightly more rich with leathery notes appearing and a little sweetness; in the final third this rich leather and woodiness was even more pronounced with coffee flavours becoming noticeable. In the final couple of inches I did notice a little bitterness but I put this down to the cigar being young. Overall, a fantastic smoke for the price and is one I will definitely be returning to.

5* and the reason I hold this cigar in such high regard, is the fact that you would struggle to find any cigar for such a low price with this amount of flavour. With a smooth and enjoyable taste Best enjoyed in my eyes with a nice coffee. Being abit of a newbie this cigar was suggested to me by the instore staff at the Chester branch, I have to say I was not disappointed; the staff are warm and welcoming and are always happy to help.

This cigar was plugged around the band area so I poked a hole from the head and it did sort out the draw though it was still a little tighter than perfect and did cause some tunnelling later on but nothing too bad.The first third was light with Nutty and cedar, second third a sweetness started to develop and I got hints of milk chocolate. Stayed smooth throughout. Nutty and tangy with earth coming in for the final third. Into the final third there was a floral earthy taste which must be that classic Upman 'olive' taste. Though if I hadn't have read about it I probably wouldn't have been able to put my finger on it. Got slightly spicy towards the end. Had it in my humidor for about 5 months but I think another 6 months would have helped bring out the more subtle chcolatly sweetness more. Burn was uneven but was correctable. In conclusion this was a little rougher than I would expect but I am putting that down to youth. I will be buying more to put away for a few years as these have a lot of potential and are good value

Hugely disappointed, I bought a sample pack variation which included 2 Upmann Majestics. One of them had a rougher build quality (flared end and slightly looser than the other) so I thought "what the hell" and took it with me on a walk. From lighting, the cigar gave me a real headache. A severe tunnel formed in the first third causing an irregular burn which hollowed its way through the core. Drastic measures neccesary, so I chopped off some of the cigar and relit it, only to get the same problem again. Tried to correct but a hole was present all the way down the centre of the cigar. Ended up stubbing it out in frustration.. Hope the other one smokes better. A real shame.
