HURW H Upmann magnum 50 esl April 19

[Kaptain Karl]

This is the first I picked out of the PSP box. Gorgeous cigar! 
It started out with a blast of spices then lots of red fruit. Very rich! However, soon after, disaster struck. The wrapper stopped burning and it started to tunnel. I used the smush technique, then cut an inch off. Same result. The same little band of filler tobacco just shot down the entire cigar. 
 

based off the initial flavor, I’m extremely excited for this box. However, I think the humidity was very uneven in the fresh stick, I’ll try again in a year!

I had a similar issue with a box of ESL '19 Mag 50. Very wet in general. It took about 6 months for them to dry out, but that last one I had was excellent.

Just reviewed the same stick.  It was terrific.  Hope the next one treats you better.

No amount of time down is going to fix constructions issues. That is a bad roll. I have an ESL MAR 19 box which I have not touched yet. Hopefully I get lucky
