H. Upmann Mag 46 2008 - Aged Weekend Review


Recommended Posts

 

Mag 46s are one of my favs and I was fortunate to get a few of these in a trade with a great BOTL about 2 years ago. I smoked 1 about a year ago and honestly wasnt impressed compared to newer vintages so we'll see how this goes.

 

Box code USE JUN 08 from a 50 cab.

 

First puff starts out with a touch a cream at the fore and a dashing of leather. Wood intertwined throughout. Very light flavors overall but a smooth smoke. No harshness at all which i love about aged cigars.

 

2nd third is more of the same with the cream rounding coming out more along with the wood notes. Toasted tobacco is good and the smome is still smooth as silk.

 

Last third and i get a few draws of fudge brownie which takes me for a surprise. Just a few, and very light, but very rich. Smoke closes out with nothing fancy to add.

 

Overall, good smooth smoke that may be past its flavor peak. Nothing to write home about and as mentioned, i think i prefer more recent releases of this one. Admittedly, i dont have much aged stock, and most that I have smoked, have seemed flat, like this sample. On the other hand, one of the best smokes that I've ever had was a Mag 50 from 08. Im just glad that i now have a good stock of my own to age and sample.
