H. Upmann Mag 56 EL MEL DIC 15 (BGRW)

[ElJavi76]

Cutter: Xikar Pull out Punch

Lighter: Dupont Defi Extreme

Location: Garage / 45°F and gale force winds outside.

Drink: Respresso Bleu Caffe Borbone ➡️ Macallan 15

Draw: Medium (not firm/not loose)

When I first jumped in FOH I had no idea what an EL or an ER were. So thank you all for ruining my life, in the best way possible that is. Upmann was one of my firsts love in this hobby of collecting, which didn't truly start until I joined you guys. I remember my first Connie A and being blown away. Thanks to Dennis @devildoge9 being a badass BOTL I came to know what a Mag 56 was all about. Thank you again sir. 

First third in a sentence: Upmann. Upmann. Upmann out of the gate. Shortbread/freshly baked cookies, baking spices, and general Upmann goodness.

Second third in a sentence: Stunning! Tilting a bit fuller but more of those classic Upmann flavors. Cookie dough!

Final third in a sentence: The scotch really paired well here... Accenting the chocolatey notes as the cigar piggybacked the finish on the spirits. 

Retrohale: Slightly peppery at times but delivering lots of nutmegy/cloves type notes on the retros. 

SIR WINNY ON STEROIDS!

I wasn't ready to burn one of these today, but challenge accepted Prez. @Habana Mike started a great thread... There's no time like the present! You ain't kidding Mike and I know you've been ripping thru some of your greats during our virtual herfs. Thanks for reading... Give it a like if you like.

Cheers all!

Loved a recent one I smoked, but many, many years ahead for this cigar.

Great review! I was given one of these a few years ago and forgot it was in the bottom of my singles humidor until reading this!

Nice job brother. I like how you describe these as a Sir Winnie on steroids. I thought the same thing.

Best to you, have a great Easter weekend.

Nice review Javi. Only smoked one when they were fresh, and wishing I grabbed a box when Rob last put them up. It was a great cigar.

Great review! I recall seeing these available when I first started lurking at FoH, then read stellar review after stellar review after I joined. They sound epic.

Do it Dennis! LoL Thanks again for helping me procure the batch I do have. I've been chasing a box of these but honestly the price has just exploded. Crazy!
