H. Upmann Royal Robusto BRE APR 18

Paired with a Bearded Iris Attention Please Hazy Double IPAs

Gift my mom brought back from a trip to Rome...bought at Fincato LCDH

Gorgeous dark oily wrapper

Well packed with good sponge give

Aroma at cold is cedar, tea, library books

Cold draw is milk chocolate and tea

1st third is gorgeous Upmann almonds and buttered toast with sugar

Slight canoe at end of 1st third and draw becomes loose despite being well packed

Retrohale surprisingly spicy white pepper and harsh...too young

Medium full going into 2nd third. Head buzz

Losing that almond and getting loads of leather and coffee in last Third

Finished medium

Showed lots of promise. I’ll leave this box alone for 6 months. Should have legs for 7-10 years.
