H Upmann Connoisseur No 1 - LSM JUL 08

[asmith]

Finally a decent review as Ayala is missing and Ken and Smithy go toe to toe.

Disappointed to see you boys didnt pull out the Gran Reservas & X.O for this but another great review all the same These have always been around a 86-90 smoke for me with a bit more light citrus then it seems you had.

[asmith]

After the camera stopped rolling for that review and half way through the next review Ken said that he had some rum and raisin flavours towards the end that really improved the cigar. It was an interesting end to the cigar that was starting to worry me half way through.

Good review I smoked one with same box code that was gifted to me last week and it was a solid 90 it was rich with tons of floral notes also sweet candy flavor with lip smacking rich tobacco flavor I was very impressed.

Smithy whats with the flip flops ?

Smithy whats with the flip flops ?

Jimmy thats my formal footwear here on the weekends, my Pluggers as they are called here. I wear them to the office and it gives Rob the shits.

Great review- relaxed and nothing fancy. Along with the cigar, I feel it has potential but at times holds back. Thanks Ken & Smithy!

Smithy whats with the flip flops ?

I'm sure he's got some 'budgie smugglers' on under the shorts and will be off to the beach

[Jimmy2]

Yes Smithy Over here in the States Grily Men where flip flops and i dont take you as that kind of a person my friend but i see you have a purpose in rattling Rob with them....

[LiLo]

Great review. These cigars are fantastic with a year or two on them. Never had much luck with them young.

They are all we wear in the warmer months ._. Nothing more comfortable, especially around the beach!

Ken... You do know about DVD's??? I couldnt help but notice the antique VCR under your vintage television....... They too get better with age??? lmao? -Mike

[Colt45]

Great work gents! Couldn't help but notice how much more relaxed the panel seemed this review.......

[thechenman]

Thanks for the video review guys. I have to say that the H. Upmann Connie 1 has never really done it for me.

[Warren]

Hey I never said I couldn't make it, you never asked me.

It was only Valentines day so an escape might have been good.

[Ken Gargett]

great music, smithy. love your taste, but if you do ever front in budgie smugglers then the shutters come down and the drawbridge goes up.

and that old machine in the corner is actually a video and dvd player - but just used as a back-up. you don't really think i'd have the good gear near where smithy and rob blunder about?

LMAO... OK I understand now.....

Great review guys...

[Ozz1113]

Love the outtakes...

Great 'Who gives a shi*t' Smithy, very cool of you.

[Smooth]

I have a wonderful 05 box of these that at the same age showed the same good signs... 89 or so then, easily a 95 five years on.

Thanks for the review of a very under-rated smoke IMO!
