H Upmann Half Corona MEG ENE16 (HURW)

[cigaraholic]

A good excuse to try a cigar I’ve never had. Got this PSP box from a good friend that made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Being retired with plenty of time to smoke, it’s not really a size that interests me. It’s a beautiful looking cigar, shinny dark colorado wrapper that’s very well filled at 7gr. By the looks of it I can tell shortbread cookies will not be getting out of the box. Draw is perfect, the flavor of the cold draw is incredible, briery marzipan. It’s so delicious I don’t need to light this cigar, I could just puff on this unlit all day. I finally did light it....

Opening puffs are coffee, toffee and forest floor. Medium body, smoke is soft and smooth, lovely mouth feel from the creamy, buttery toffee flavor. I’m already wishing this cigar was 5 inches longer 👻 An inch in, which is halfway to the band, it’s espresso, marzipan and a touch of licorice. I’ll be taking some of these back to Italy with me to have with my espresso and Sambuca. 30 minutes of being reminded that sometimes Cuba can still grow tobacco like they used too🌈
