H. Upmann Sir Winston - SCO JUL 01

[Kingantz]

Gorgeous brown, somewhat oily wrapper. Quite heavy in the hand with a solid feel. Slight sponginess when squeezed with no tight spots to be found. After punching the head, pre-draw was of a cool vegetable with a bit of old earth. Once toasted, fire was put to the foot and volumes of smoke developed. A quick burst of spicy pepper from the first draw with a sweetness sneaking up behind. Once the fire settled in, lots of honey and fruit with floral tones. Woodiness….cedar. Earth lingering after the exhale. Complexity builds further in with a rich taste of buttery bread developing. Floral notes continue and bread is baking fresh on the taste buds. Chewy chocolate and hints of something vanilla. Totally amazing. Deep deep dark red fruit. A medium towards full bodied smoke from the start. Towards the end, the smoke strengthens but not overwhelming or bitter. Loads of dark toasty bread with….what could be marmalade taste.

Fantastic cigar.
