Wil Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I'm really pleased this thread has come up because it's given me a prompt to try a 2nd H. Upmann Robusto from the travel humidor. My 95 point score from last year may have been a little optimistic, but it was certainly a very good cihgar. Wil, I'm glad my postings were of use to you. Cheers mate. Happy smoking, Mark Cheers Mark. They did have a bit of a funny smell at first. But when that dissipated they took on a beautiful white pepper aroma. Fantastic cigar. Glad to hear others are enjoying them too!
Steens Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Upon receipt of these I removed them from the travel humidor and placed them in one of my desktops to rest for a while. About 6 weeks later I sparked one up and it was absolutely delightful. Lived up to the hype from your review with trevor and ended up as one of the best of the year for me. A solid 94+. Had another about a week ago which was equally wonderful. I can't wait until they release the H. Upmann Robusto LE which, I would assume, will be the same blend. Of course we are dealing with H.SA. So if anyone can f#ck it up they can.

markmurase Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Last weeekend I smoked another H Upmann Robusto from the Travel Humidor. I really like this cigar. 93 points. Just as good as the first one I smoked in 2011, although I've been a bit tougher with my score this year. My notes attached. Hope you're all enjoying them as much as me
Lotusguy Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Wow - nice review template and nice review! I also had one a couple of weeks ago and concur - these are still fantastic and I hope the 2012 LE will be the same blend in different packaging.
cgarner Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I've had 3 so far. 2 were outstanding the other was so so. Granted I generally like most H. Upmann blends, so my analysis might be a bit skewed.
cgarner Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Decided to light another one. Half way through and it has been outstanding. I hope the last half is as good. Easily a 92-93 smoke at this point.
cgarner Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Will be burning my fingers soon. great smoke. It got a little heavier towards the later last third but not harsh at all. 93-94 all night long. Wish I could buy more.
