H. Upmann Majestics - The Worst and the Best

[MontrealRon]

Two cigars, from two boxes received this week.

First, with a poorly stamped code, apparently '13s, sourced in Canada.

Havana House seals, not grey market.

Bad construction, raunchy rough filler, asbestos wrapper.

Utterly disgusting, surely wins the worst of the year award.

Second, Dec. '11, sourced from the czar, received and smoked today.

( I strictly follow a 3 hour rest period.)

Lovely smooth colorado wrapper, perfect construction,

and an amazing virtually hypnotic aroma and flavour, totally delightful.

In the running for best of the year!

What more can I say?

With Majestics, you can get both in the same box!

Care to share the box codes ? I'm still smoking '11's but need to get more soon. Might just avoid the ones you mentioned first.

Smoked some '88s and while they can have a metallic finish, rich tobacco and lingering Magnum profile.

You could say "Thanks Rob!"

You could say "Thanks Rob!"

You should !

I bought some loose stick 10-pack from a well known cigar bar-lounge-club here in Melbourne about 4 years ago.

As I recall, they were very appealing at the start, then turned feral for about 9 months, then switched back on.

It could have been a humidity problem due to change of seasons.
