H. Upmann Half Corona LUB July 2014: Rocking Jocks Review Comp

[Scrubber]

Well for my 2 reviews I've picked 2 sticks that are "rocking my jocks" almost daily. The first of those sticks is the Upmann Half Corona.

I enjoy one of these about 3 or 4 times a week. Having a young family means struggling to find lots of free time to enjoy a cigar. However, I've found the Half Corona to be perfect to enjoy in the 45 mins or so I have after the family have gone to bed.

It's hard to do a full review of this stick given its size. I've found that the flavours do transition once throughout the stick.

First half: I was smacked with flavour from the first puff. Exactly what is needed with a small cigar like this. I get cedar and toasted tobacco immediately. It's a familiar comfort and allows me to just sit back and relax and unwind.

I do also get some of the Upmann shortbread flavours but it is very subtle.

Second half: At the half way point I get a transition into roasted nuts and toasted tobacco. This continues right down to the nub with the flavours becoming a little more intense. Love it.

This cigar needs to be smoked slowly or "sipped" or it will heat up quickly.

This is a staple in my humidor yet it continues to rock my jocks time and time again.
