Well packed cigar, no soft spots. Dark wrapper, few veins. Good draw, good burn. Flavorful, noto very differentiated but nice and balanced with oak, coffee and earthy notes. Surprisingly strong (medium-full) for an H. Upman. Would smoke it again, but won’t buy a box
A medium smoke with notes of cedar, basic coffee, and some light herbal type spice. Appearance is clean, but the construction feels a little loose. This caused an airy draw with a burn that needed a few corrections.
Very enjoyable. Draw was nice and even. Burned a bit inconsistently but not dramatic. Soft black pepper notes and some chocolate. Not overpowering. Great on a sunny afternoon. Love the look and band.
