H.Upmann Sir Winston Churchill Year:1998 Factory:JJose Marti (Amistad 407, Havana) - H. Upmann Construction: Well constructed Wrapper: Dark Oily and Perfect Draw: just the right amount of resistance Body: medium to full Taste: Spice Woody Sweet Generous Unlit: cedary and of very fine tobacco Reference:JM6VSU The appearance of the cigar caught my soul, dark oily wrapper with well developed crystalization. Needless to say i prepared myself for a smoke of a lifetime. It has been a year since i tasted the last one. Waiting in anticipation I cleaned the crystallization off the cigar with a soft tissue. Punched a 5mm hole on the cap.....first puff unlit cedary and fine tobacco, the resistance was just right. Compared to the last one i had (one year ago) I found the strength has developed more. Lighting with a piece of cedar wood allowing the shadowy dance of the flame to caress the open end of the cigar (sorry!! sounds a bit sleazy) the cigar took the flame well. The first third was smooth with wood and sweet vanilla beans with a hint of dark chocolate. The second third continues to be smooth but turns complex subtly. Still very woody, but lost partial vanilla in it and spice comes and goes. Other tastes are difficult to identify.( Too complex for my taste buds) The last, a rush of spice, wood, tobacco, with slight hint of honey sweetness. I give this cigar 90.

Hi Prince. I dont really know what it is? Maybe mold, maybe plume? Dont really know the differences. Comes off quite easily with a wipe on the tissue.

Therefore the cigar was offered. » a mate in havana has just told me he has been smoking an "85 years » commemorative cigar (Churchill size) dedicated to Don Alejandro Robaina". » the hurricane killed further communication but trying to find out more. is » this familiar to anyone?

Just like to know which normal production line cigar is available in the UK market but not available to the Asian and Australian market?

Yeah Ken purchased a box of these a year ago tried 2 and the rest is in hibernation. Cannot remember much since it is a year ago all ai can remember was it has good burn and has chocolate milk, honey, sweet tobacco flavours.

IMP62 MON62 both are still available better be quick Too bad LIS62 is not available haha

Maverick, There are other alternatives in Australia. Try a Prince GT3000 there are great. Not only can you adjust the gas coming out of the jet you can regulate the air and butane mixture ratio as well, so the flame doesnt get too hot. I dont know where you can get them in Brisbane but if you are interested i can tell you where you can get them in sydney or melbourne. » Does anyone know whether these are readily available in Brisbane? » » Ross...
