H. Upmann Half-Corona

[rusty]

Have had a a couple of these and been pleasantly surprised .

The draw may be little loose but they pack some punch

These will be a good winter smoke

just smoked one, around a 30-minute smoke for me

first 4-5 puffs, like a pistol shooting out cannons, lots of nicotine kick, black pepper, black coffee, smokiness from a scotch.

getting smoother in the next 10 minutes, able to retrohale now. dark coffee still dominates the flavor, like a shot of Cuban espresso. A little bit of citrus and earthiness emerges - Partagas-kind-of-earthiness with slight hint of pineapple.

Finishes with the standard Upmann profile - herbal, marshmallow, buttery.

Construction is good, even burn, good draw. No nasty taste when nubbing.

I don't like it, the first few puffs are way too strong like a Padron. Too much black pepper and coffee bitterness in the beginning as well.

Nevertheless it is a well made cigar (and good value) and I will revisit it few months later

Most LCDHs and big shops in Europe are out of stock; some of them even didn't get any.

Don't expect to find this cigar at one of the well-known discounters.

No wonder, I checked LCDH too thanks. Rob you should get these, would love to have the tin too.

That tin is pretty cool. Think I need to find me some of these!
