H. Upmann Half Corona 2017 (RGRW)

[StalinisBallinn]

First impression: very neat and tidy roll, clean well placed label, cap was a little rough around the edges

Decided to go with a punch cut, worked well enough, draw was just a tad tight above perfect but still good.

Cold draw: nutty, earthy, maybe some graham cracker, maybe some honey

Got a little bit of a buzz about half way through, flavors continued to get more intense but the level of spice was consistent throughout.

Ash was holding on the entire time. great construction, burned mostly evenly with just two quick touch ups.

Final thoughts: quality short smoke at about 35 mins total. Creamy, medium body with a touch of spice, coffee, and graham cracker.

At the prices I've seen, I could definitely see myself grabbing a box or two and aging them for a while to see how they progress.
