H.Upmann Half Corona - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on April 9, 2015):

This cigar is dense. Like it'd hurt someone if i threw it at them. Interestingly this didn't affect the draw. While not perfect it was free enough.

The wrapper had a soft leather feel to it. Prelight aromas were heavy on the dry grass and coffee.

Initial flavors after light maintained the coffee and grass flavors, nut and earthy tobacco were added to the mix. The flavors didn't change at all throughout the cigar. There was a change in texture though at about the halfway point. Prior to that the smoke was on the airy side. After the halfway point it became oily.

There was no strength to the cigar and wasn't anymore than mild to medium in body. The burn was perfect the first half but then lost its razor sharpness in the second half. It did need one touch up toward the end.

The smoke output throughout the cigar was plentiful.

The box and date code was ULE AGO14. They do need some more time to acclimate to my humidor and maybe some more rest wouldn't hurt them any.
