H Upmann Half Corona ASR SEP 17 (MUPCRW)

[Bucky McSwensen]

This is an ugly stick from multiple nights out where it didnt get smoked.  It's been left in my suit pocket, it's been dropped, it deserved a better life.  Time to put it out of its misery.

Lights up with immediate nuts and pepper.  The retrohale has so much white pepper!  Very enjoyable kick right from the start.

Second half mellows to some salted roasted notes and cakey flavors.  If it were sweeter its taste like a granola bar.  Rich tobacco upmann flavors take over to the end.  Never gets hot down to the nub.

Love this stick.  Even when ugly it always delivers a great short smoke.
