to me, this cigar is perfect for what it is trying to be: a tasty small cigar. i get that some folks don't like short cigars, but for those of us who routinely find ourselves with a 40-60min window and want to enjoy a tasty cigar, the huhc fits the bill.

Can you even get 60 minutes of duration with these? I wouldn't think so.

i don't, but i generally get 45 without trying. the point though was to fit the cigar to the window of opportunity. a 60min window is perfect for a 45min cigar.

Had just 2 and they were peppery AF. And that's not a good thing for me. Am I the only one that got that?

As for the format, I get the size. A short cigar is always useful in the utility belt. Not to rush. Just to fit in.

No sweetness, nothing though. Just hot pepper. So no. I don't get them at all.

Yet.....

I love these for after work and before bed. I work night shift, so when I get home at 0630, I don't always want to stay up for 60+ minutes smoking a larger profile. These I can smoke in 35 minutes or stretch out to an hour if I want to. They fit my need perfectly.

For me, they are all over the place. 

From a "peppery" cigar to a "straight toasted tobacco" cigar to a "cake/shortbread/toasted tobacco" cigar to a "charred sugar cane/shortbread/cofee" cigar. 

I have been blessed by having the latter of those over the past month. 

However if I were to work it out as a %....from the hip....10% 50% 30% 20%

Consistency at its finest ;)

That is not a "typical" Upmann profile by any means. Yowza!

Great. 110% quality assured then.

I've noticed that if these are plugged and you perfecdraw it - you create a direct tunnel hole & it burns way too hot

like smoking charcoal 

That happens when you go too deep (it's especially a problem on shorter cigars, and generally won't happen on longer cigars unless you go in from both ends).

But what I do to avoid it, is to keep using the perfecdraw on the head, a half inch or inch in, and not going any further. Generally the tightness is at the head and even if it isn't gutting the heard usually helps enough with the draw.
