Yes, it was quite good. I was expecting that it would lose some of its strength over time but it was still quite flavorful. Some real nice cherry notes about half way through.

H.Upmann No.2 LUB May 2014

If you've ever wondered if the H.Upmann No.2 is related to the Montecristo No.2 (and also the Diplomaticos No.2), the simple answer is yes. They don't just share the same vitola dimensions. When Alonso Menendez bought the Particulares cigar factory in 1935, he was mainly interested in developing the Particulares and lesser known Byron brands. He brought out the Montecristo brand in that year in the now famous Montecristo No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4 and No.5 range. After partnering with Pepe Garcia in 1936, these two gentlemen made another fateful decision in purchasing the ailing H.Upmann factory (and brand) from J.Frankau SA in 1937. The Montecristo range was soon copied for the H.Upmann marca and hence the H.Upmann No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4 and No.5 were born. The H.Upmann No.3 and No.5 were the first to be discontinued in the early 1980s, the H.Upmann No.1 and No.4 were discontinued in 2002.

When Cubatabaco introduced the post-Revolution Diplomaticos brand in 1966, they similarly copied the Montecristo and H.Upmann Nos 1 to 5 range. Another thing that these Piramides cigars share is the doubling of their brand and individual name, hence why these cigars are called the Montecristo Montecristo No.2, H.Upmann Upmann No.2 and Diplomaticos Diplomaticos No.2

The H.Upmann No.2, like its Montecristo No.4-sized sadly discontinued brother, the H.Upmann Petit Corona, can be fuller-bodied when youthful. For that reason, I like to age these cigars to bring out their shortbread cream flavour, but it takes time...typically 5 to 8 years, maybe more.

At six years of age, this was more intense in strength than my last H.Upmann No 2, albeit, that was awhile ago. The strength was more akin to a H.Upmann Magnum 46 rather than a H.Upmann Connossieur A or Sir Winston, for example. The one flavour that exemplified this cigar-smoking experience was definitely the white pepper, which stayed consistent throughout the thirds. The spine of the cigar was more like wood and leather, complemented by a slight honey or licorice sweetness at times. I have a one more H.Upmann No.2 in my humidor and I think I will leave it to rest a little while longer. Thankfully I have a another box of 2014 H.Upmann No.2's resting, which I envisage will need another two to four years to suit my taste.

RG Perlas GOS MAY 18. Tasty little thing, to me better than the RGPC .. just more fiery

My first Media Luna, BSM ENE 20. Really good! Classic Trini flavours, and I prefer this vitola to the Vigia. Pricey for a shortish smoke but very tasty, and perfect construction.

HLP BHK60 from last November. From Hector's humidor in his Vedado casa. His regular smoke.

We smoked a couple together while he was in town.

Thanks @Rupe! Can't wait to review that RyJ Corona Extra ?
