H. Upmann No.2 LUB May 2014

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 years ore even longer.

Like the Montecristo No.2, the H.Upmann No.2 is a torpedo cigar (52 ring gauge x 156 mm) but I wouldn't envisage that it sells anywhere near the volume of Montecristo No. 2's annually. It's not because of their blend either, the H.Upmann No.2 is a fine-tasting cigar, rather it simply a matter of brand appeal...the Montecristo No.2 is much more well-known.

At 6 and a half years of age, this was slightly more intense in strength than my last H.Upmann No 2, around six months ago. The strength was more akin to a H.Upmann Magnum 46 rather than a H.Upmann Connossieur A or Sir Winston, for example. Unlike previous Upmann No.2s from this box, this cigar had little or no spice or white pepper. The spine of the cigar was more like wood and leather, complemented by a slight honey or licorice sweetness at times. Overall, in comparison to other piramide cigars I've enjoyed in 2020, such as the Montecristo No.2 and Diplomaticos No.2, this H.Upmann No.2 was definitely fuller in strength and body than those two cigars, despite its age.

Not Cuban, but the hexagon shape intrigued me

I’ve been spending a lot more time on another forum lately, enjoying both NCs and CCs alike, nice to alternate every so often.

Still high 80s in Northern CA, smoke from fires seems to be gone forever, enjoying this Upmann Connie B, definitely a celebration cigar.

I have no problem being wrong.  Best 2 cigars I’ve had in last couple weeks have been an Epicure 1 and now this, right after I named both to my Down list.  Funny how little I know.  This kid is cranking on all cylinders.

Water test review weekend smokes:

Partagas Shorts (dry wins (though wrapper fireproof), after long reflection)

Montecristo Edmundo (wet wins)

HdM Du Maire (dry wins)

Dry had crisper more defined flavours. Wet was more muted.

HU Connie B LTO DIC19

smoking beautifully now but i think will benefit from more time down

Not doing the review weekend but decided to dip this in water for the hell of it. Wtf..

I think it will depend on your ambient. Hygroscopy is a weird thing. I'm in 45F 20% humidity

Guess the Christmas dinner and cigars is complete thanks to a good friend from La Rioja !

Cohiba Atmosphere Rioja 2011 Reserva - only 18000 bottles produced - plus 3 different Iberico Ham packages and ERDM La Reina and Bolivar Immensas from 1997.

 

Happy Camper.

Quiet and cool morning. Nice Partagas SPN2.

Going with a NC today as it’s been raining out, find the looser draw on them smoke better with all the dampness.

Quai d'Orsay No. 54 MSU Jul 2018

It's been awhile since I've smoked the Quai d'Orsay no.54, approximately six months since my last one. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck with this 10-count box code thus far and I've gone through half of it periodically over the last two years.

This QdO No.54 began as usual with creamy cedar, ginger and hay flavours. There was little or practically no spice, nor complexity throughout the thirds as I smoked this down, although it was impeccably constructed and smoked very well. Ash was consistent. As usual, this was a very mild smoke, you could easily smoke this first thing in the morning and it wouldn't overwhelm your palate.

In summary, I aim to smoke a QdO No.50 soon to compare it to this QdO No.54 as I want to keep an open mind on these two releases. Hopefully a superlative QdO No.54 is 'just-around-the-corner' for me!

Man I’ve had a helluva crap day.  I’m going to drink all of the alcohols, and hope this guy cheers me up.  Be well friends.
