H Upmann No 2 2019 (C&ERW)

[djrey]

No box code for this particular stick however I know it was box date was 2019. Contruction is a touch tight but more than manageable. We start off with some honey sweetness and a fairly basic light tobacco/woodiness flavor. Light bodied at this point. After about an inch the flavors pick up. Classic Upmann shortbread characters come in along with a baking spice such as cinnamon. It's a gorgeous fall day and these flavors are pairing perfectly. 

Towards the final third the cigar really ramps up quite a bit in power, which I usually do not experience with these. Medium full in body on the final third. Same core flavors with the addition of some milk chocolate and increased tanic woody notes. I actually enjoy this little kick at the end. This cigar smoked a solid 2 hours. Very nice. 

My entertainment today is simply the sounds of nature. Walked to the local park to finish the smoke and had a nice time sitting by the river listening to the water. Nice and peaceful.

Nice review and beautiful view 

I’ve got few young boxes of H.Upmann I’ll probably let them age and hopefully I’ll get more sweetness in them! I like them young but I also like some sweetness.

Yeah I still have some more of these and I can see them going many more years with that tannin structure. Hopefully unveiling more sweetness in the process.
