H. Upmann Magnum 46 UPE MAY12

[Sir Diggamus]

I get a small window of time while my daughter has her afternoon nap so I thought it would be nice to get in a smoke today. I came around to the H. Upmann marca after some years of enjoying cigars because I think Partagas and Bolivar were my first loves.

 

This wasn't the best looking specimen to begin with, a few bumpy veins and it took somewhat of a beating in the humi (beat up foot and cracked above the band). A little hay smell pre-light. Once burning the draw gave a little resistance and produced plenty of smoke. Flavors in the first 1/3 cream and that Upmann spice,a pungent spice similar to an earthy cologne with an underlying sweetness. The 2/3 brought more spice and hints of leather. The last third opened with more spice but this time it was more a cinnamon and less sweet. As it burned on there were notes of espresso and cream here and there. Medium to full in body and it burned even throughout.

 

I have grown to LOVE an aged H. Upmann. There is a classiness in these cigars that let you know you are smoking something special.

 

A solid 4 smoke rings.

I also really enjoyed my last Magnum 46.
