CaptainQuintero Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Loved it as always, get well soon Ken! Maybe if we all chant 'Monte Open' enough times he will recover faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riazp Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Exellent review boys, now watch them upmann 2's just fly off the shelfs in the future lfth's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0z3r Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Great review. The Upmann #2 was the first Cuban cigar that really impressed me, I had only had a few up to that point, one being a putrid Monte #2. Would love to pick up an HQ box from the Czar one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortigan Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Same box code as my PE's Although,I'll say it again,PE or not they are the nicest looking cigars I've ever received,beautiful dark and oily wrappers,which kinda says all you need to know about The C.Czar operation in my opinion! And I completely concur with everything that Rob and Smithy said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac77 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 One of my favorites and I often get that vanilla flavour in this cigar. Ken missed out on an HQ box for the review. You just know that he will be mentioning that next time you review a PE cigar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksblazer Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Great review I've been wanting to see the H.Upmann No. 2 get reviewed. My 2008's are one of my "go to" cigars right now. Sounds like the 2010's are the same. Maybe even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laficion Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Great review guys !!!!! I've had some poor ones and it's one reason why I 've only picked up singles in the last year or so, but recent productions have got me wanting a box again soon.

riderpride Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Great job guys. I picked up the same box code on my last trip to Holguin (in Feb) and I'm lookin forward to firing one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZCUBAN Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Great review as always Guys I agree Upman have really hit their straps of late . Maybe you guys can re visit the Mag 48 and see if they have evolved much one of my personal favorites a really good size when time is a factor Cheers OZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I have the same box code and wasn't nearly impressed with the one example I've smoked so far. None of the flavors you guys described, under medium body, loose draw, one dimensional etc couldn't wait until it was over. I'm chalking it up to being fresh from transit and have no desire to have any more until maybe a couple more months have passed. The only box in my humidor I regret at the moment as premature as it may be to judge. Hopefully the others change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion21 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 One of my favorites. The 2010's are REALLY good cigars. Should age very well and be exceptional in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habanakane21 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Love love the No.2's. This was my first purchase from Czar! 11 down 14 to go!! slowly slowly smoking them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougB Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I love the 2's...can't wait to get a box to start-up my locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedipastor Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I've never had an aged HU#2, but the 2010 #2 I had was a brilliant cigar, even as young as it was. I was blown away, actually. The only other young cigars I've had that compare to that level of awesomeness is the Trinidad Robusto T and (sometimes) the Bolivar Royal Corona. And I suppose the Behike 52, but I don't count that in the same category. The HU Mag46 from '08 is one of my go-to cigars these days, and this box of #2s have every indication of being as good or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
