H.Upmann Petit Corona

First off, apologies for no pictures and being brief. I hadn't intended to write anything but following having what was a Stella cigar felt compelled to write about it.

I recently went halves on a box of H. Upmann PC's with a friend, just to see if I would like them. They have been in the humidor for about 3 weeks and couldn't wait any longer. So yesterday with a cup of specialty ' Christmas tea that I brewed sat down and lit one up (a good tea is only behind coffee and whiskey as a cigar companion as fas as I'm concerned... U guys can keep your champagne as a pairing)

Anyway back to the cigar, I thought the draw was a little on the tight side for my liking but there was some good flavours of cedar coming through.

After initial lighting, only really got toasted tobacco tastes. However that changed very quickly and all of a sudden got hit with intense good quality espressos and cream flavours.... Absolutely stunning. The only thing our found was that I had to purge the cigar frequently... Maybe due to the tight draw, don't know.

The cigar got stronger as I progressed and had to nub it out with about 2cm as it got a bit to intense (it is quite a young box June 12 as far as I can remember).

What had been a bit of an experiment had proved to be a really pleasant find. Really hoping that the rest of the box have a slightly more draw but retain the flavour. Starting to think I might prefer the PC size to what I thought was my favourite Hermsos no 4.

Would be interested in how others have found these cigar.

One of my favorite PC's, every one that I've smoked thus far has had a perfect draw and that signature Upmann flavor.

Would love to come across one of these one day. Have heard many positive things. Great review!

I smoked a really good one on New Years Eve.
