H. Upmann Anejado Unknown (VVRW#1)

[Bijan]

Got this cigar as part of a FOH prize pack.

Weight is light and very close to official weight. Went with a 9mm punch, but first punch was off center so punched it twice.

First third: lights up with pure Upmann flavour (don't know how to describe it), then shortbread with some some floral/perfume type flavours for a bit. Then a tiny bit of coffee.

Second third: Still shortbread but with some cocoa and later on some twang.

Final third: Get leather and tobacco at the start of this third, but mainly shortbread again.

4/5 very good even though Upmann is not my favourite marca.

Weather was just below freezing, didn't check the ambient humidity level but it was neither too dry nor too humid.

50 minutes not quite to a nub.

Ash looks very powdery. Surprised it held on so well.

Surprised to hear that you enjoyed HU Anjeados Robustos @Bijan. I had two HU Anejados Robustos before and they were too strong with peppery note for aged cigars compared to other HU CCs and aged 4yr old Montecristo No. 4. Glad that it behaved nicely to you buddy 😂.

The ash on mine was powdery like that as well, and it did not hold on as well as his, FWIW.
