zeedubbya Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Due to 24:24 today I just realized I have never smoked an H. Upmann cigar, and am shocked by the revelation. Not one. I've been smoking for 15 years (with 5 year hiatus) and have never had one ever. I believe I've tried every other CC Marca. I've tried (what feels like) almost all the NC premium brands. Is this a strange occurrence you think? Anyone have a similar experience--having this much time invested and never had one single cigar from the Marca? What should I expect? Feels kind of like its new all over again!
Fuzz AI Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I have not had a Guantanamera... and if my luck holds, I never will. 3
WhiteMamba Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 you're missing out upmann is my favorite marca 1
CigarSeeker Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Never had an upmann.. Now I feel like I'm missing out o_0
Johanski Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 You guys have to change that ASAP.. Mag 46, petit Corona, Connie 1.. All great cigars! 2
Overproof Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I'm a bad **** for the half carona. I get a hell of a lot out of them for the size. High end of med body. Toast, sweet spice and some earthy wood notes for me, every time! Nicely priced too 3
planetary Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Agree with those who suggest curing this omission at the first possible opportunity! In addition to the recommendations above, I'll add the Connie A and Upmann No. 2. My 2016 smoke of the year (so far) was a Connie A -- and was less than a year old. And El Prez himself has widely sung the praises of the more recent Upmann No. 2, which is rich and interesting now, and has legs for years to come. Upmann just might be my favorite marca at the moment. 1
stogieluver Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I think I remember a thread from last year that revealed that Upmann was the most popular marca occupying space in FOHers' humidor. A bit off topic but found that to be interesting. To answer your question, I would guess there are lots of us long time smokers who have not smoked a particular marca or two or even more. 1
maxcjs0101 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I've still never Tried Cohiba, Diplomaticos, Trinidad and some other brands too..
Guest Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 More Upmanns in my stash than any other brand. Enjoy!
TheMonk Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 More Upmanns in my stash than any other brand. Enjoy! Same here. You definitely need to try Upmann... my current favorite marca!
wabashcr Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Upmann is also my favorite marca. Huge fan of the HUHC, PC, No 2, Connie 1, Mag 46, Royal Robusto, and of course the elusive Sir Winston. The thing is, I like all of these for different reasons. I'm not a big "marca DNA" enthusiast. I'm not even sure what you would call Upmann DNA. To me they all have different flavor profiles, and I enjoy them all. The most notable similarity among them all is the band. 1
MrGTO Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Don't start with the Connie A because you'll be spoiled and broke soon there after 1
Phillys Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I have never tried any Dips or LGC, definitely want to change that. Speaking of Upmann, it's the most represented marca in my humidor, great cigars, all of them! fix that asap.
Smoker Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Diplomaticos had escaped me until very recently, which I suppose is somewhat understandable given that they only have the single vitola these days. I finally tried a Dip 2, and it was absolutely amazing! In fact, I became quite upset at the fact that I would never get to smoke their other vitolas. But then I am a 'glass half-empty' type of person. And also a 'glass one-quarter' empty type of person lol. Best Upmann I've had was a Mag 50 recently.
NJP Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 The other way I only smoked the Cohiba Siglo range for eight years. Not knowing the others never change my enjoyment at the time.
Easttide Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I've got a nice box of 11 Connies, a Mag 46, and Mag 50- up there with my favorites. What are your thoughts on Corona Majors?
BOOIE100 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Smoking a Connie 1 from 2012 from a recent 24/24, really nice!
stigmata Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Same here. You definitely need to try Upmann... my current favorite marca! My decimated stash has a good percentage of hupmanns PCs and Connie 1s..
stigmata Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I had my first Sancho Panza and popped my vitginity with the eslavo
