H.Upmann Half Corona MOE FEB15 (HURWR)

[prshah25]

Just in time I received my first box of aged H Upmann HC from PCC vintage program this weekend. I had never smoked these cigars so  I decided to smoke one ROTT for the weekend review. 
I was pleasantly surprised the smoke was not acidic or bitter even though it was ROTT. In fact it was a flavor bomb. I got cream, slight honey and short bread in the first half and expresso mixed in the second half. There was little to no spice. At one point I felt I was drinking a cappuccino. Strength was medium and burn was perfect. I was surprised how slow this burns because it took me 40 minutes to smoke it. I would rate this smoke a 90. Now these sticks are off to sleep for 3 months. This is going to be my winter smoke?

Conclusion - I have never tried a fresh one out of the box but I will highly recommend an aged HUHC any day.
