H Upmann No 2 BRE APR19 (SMRW)

My second one from a FOH quarter box purchase. I have enjoyed both. Good construction, light brown wrapper, medium firm.The cold draw was actually slightly floral.

First half was predominantly tea flavors, very Earl Grey, with the floral undertones. Also had some citrus coming through, orange zest notes if I had to try to give it a description. Had some burn issues in the first inch, but it corrected and was fine the rest of the way.

At the start of the second half got some of the more typical toasted flavors but it went back to tea and some herbaeousness, with a touch of cinnamon spice at the end.

Overall a good smoke, 89/100.
