FatPete Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Drat! I got sourdough and black pepper so thought it was a P2 as well. This'll be a revealing competition! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MigsG Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Shocked, just shocked. It was a P2 all the way for me. On 10/1/2019 at 8:37 PM, tigger said: ? I've smoked a number of boxes of HU No.2 over my lifetime. It's a cigar I really enjoy. I really enjoyed this one too...but it tasted nothing like an HU No. 2 to me. It was all sourdough/sour cream and savory spice. C'est la guerre... Congrats to those who got it right! Me too! I'm floored. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackupster Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I thought P2 like many of you. With last year included I'm 0-6!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyxwvu44 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Wow I tasted NO H upman flavors in this one...was way too bitter for the HU's I have had in the past. I was convinced it was a dip 2 but then that bitterness came in which was clearly not dip. Oh well! I still had a lot of fun trying!Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Body was only under to medium, which threw me a bit, but I thought it might have a bit of age. Same here. My guess was partagas. My old man who also smoked one and who was coincidently working his way through a box of h upman at the time said it was a h upman and then changed his mind. It didnt taste anything like a h upman to me. More cream and bell pepper or paprika. My guess was partagas and I still stand by that guess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head83 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Woot Woot, 1-1! Will most likely be the only one I get right. For me, it reminded me of a box of HUPC I finished off earlier in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had a HU2 in a while but they've always been similar to HUPC in blend to me and I got nothing like that. No toasted tobacco, no shortbread. Didn't even get that Mag 46 leather & licorice. I smoke more Connie 1s than anything else in the last 18 months and while I know they're different I just got zero HU DNA out of it. In fact I ruled out HU2 early and it was really between PSP2 and Dip 2 for me, and it didn't have that bready Dip character but it did have some bell pepper, paprika and spice--that's PSP2 to me. I won't be buying any HU2s, that's for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm smoking a fantastic HU#2 right now and it's a totally different animal from the mystery cigar #1 which was undoubtedly a P2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter4alia Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 With all the comments here I now feel a little better with my losing guess of P2. I felt as certain as many of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Cuban flavor profiles strikes again! -LOL Well, I guessed right. I took the number of people who gave a guess, then the numbers that got it right and bingo... 20% I had as good of chance at nailing it as an Upmann and I did not ever try one. Lisa dear, can I guess next time around? I have as gooda chance as the rest of them... ! -LOL The contest needs placebo comparison group. -Piggy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I'm not playing but based on the descriptions yeah, I would have said I was 80% sure it was a P2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meklown Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I'm actually curious to know @El Presidente's thought process behind picking this cigar. Was there a discovery that this box code of upmann 2s taste much like the p2s? Because i noticed or PSP upmann 2s are usually advertised as having a reddish rosado wrapper but my #1 was definitely not that shade! Or maybe that could be revealed after the entire competition is over in order not to compromise the other 4 sticks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbs Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 well, i suppose i'll go against the grain here and say it tasted exactly like an upmann to me, and they're definitely not my favorite. it was a good cigar, but with the exception of the connie #1, the upmann profile doesn't do much for me. that said, i am no expert and do not expect to score well in the competition. -dobbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
