H. Upmann Anejado RAL JUL 11 (VVRW#1)

[RedLantern]

This is another stick i got via trade with @La_Tigre - thanks!

At almost 10 years old this is by far the oldest cigar I have smoked. Cigar was very box  pressed. Draw was cuban perfect after the straight cut. This cigar toasted up extremely easily when lighting - I'm not sure if this is a result of the aging or maybe the light was just better than it normally is for me, so I could see where my flame was going better. Burn started off a little uneven, but corrected itself any only required 1 brief touch up.  I noticed this cigar had a very smooth smoke, and the main flavor that I detected was strong coffee and espresso roast. Didn't get to much else from that, and I'm starting to think that H.U. might not be my favorite marca, which is not to say that I didn't enjoy this cigar. 4/5  (background is the ruins of my patio, which they started digging up today, as we are having it redone!)
