Homebrew Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 H. Upmann Coronas Major LSO ABR 08 I actually Smoked one OTT, which is something I used to never do. All I can say is DAYUM!!!! Awesome little smoke. Great construction, dark oily wrapper, and amazing flavor for such a young cigar. First third This stick was strong out of the gate with a medium body, perfect draw, great smoke production, with a core creamy flavor, with hints of honey and a yet unidentified spice. Very firm Dark grey and black ash, that must be forceibly removed at around 1 1/2" Second Third Still a perfect burn, the honey and cream flavors are getting stronger, and the body is moving from medium to full. Last third WOW I am getting a nice little nic buzz. Burn is still great, and the honey flavor has morphed into a lovely caramel flavor, but the spice has faded away somewhat. What this cigar lacks in complexity, it truly makes up for with the flavors it does produce. All in all, I would rate this cigar a 4.6 on a 5 point scale. I don't see how this stick can get much better, but I have stuck half the box into the long term storage cooler and the other 11, into my ready to smoke humi. Have a great week Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew)
audio1der Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 A wondeful smoke for the money. ROTT and with a little age they are great, however they can suffer from an extended sick period in which they are absolutely lifeless. I can't wait for my '06's to come back to life (what a great year that was for Habanos!)
Lanthor Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I love these as well and agree the 07's I have smoked were strong as well. Perfect golf course cigar, I think.
Martindelmundo Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 A great smoke for me to.. And I'm not the only one I see who got a nic buzz off it
knuck42 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 An often overlooked little stick in my opinion. I've found I really enjoy the flavors, and I've never run across one that was constructed poorly. Definately a great little back up stick for times where I don't know what tp smoke.
El Presidente Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Great review Dave! When on they are as described. Unfortunately these are not always as consistent.
