H Upmann Epcures TUO FEB13 (JBWRW)*

[cigaraholic]

Another Marshin sunrise in Northern California. A shift in the wind has brought smoke from fires east of me and 2 days ago a small fire 20 miles away has made it worse. I have a friend recovering from surgery staying with me so I went outside to have a short morning smoke in the smoke. Always kept something small to smoke when time is short, but being retired for many years I haven’t needed a quickie until this morning.

This cigar looks beautiful, smooth colorado wrapper and it’s rolled like a brick 6.4 gr. My kind of roller! Opening flavors are mild shortbread cookie, vanilla and toasted tobacco, draw is perfect....for me. It’s a little under medium body, the burn is razor sharp. Body comes up a little and I have shortbread cookie, caramel and nutmeg, perfect with my ice coffee. A little more body and I’m left with toasted tobacco and caramel, very impressive from such a little stick. 52 minutes, so much for a short smoke👻 Time to go back inside!

I really enjoy these with some age. Do not care for young ones. Nice review!
