The H.Upmann Regalias is a very good option for a mild to medium cigar when the time is of the essence.

Appearance:

Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
The wrapper has a nice tobacco smell.
Burn/ Draw
Once cut, the draw is on the tight side, but not hindering the quality of the smoke. The aromas at cold are slightly spicy. The cigar lights up quickly and burns well. The first puffs give some aromas of green pepper and wood. The burn line is great and does not require any touch-up. The ash has a nice white color and is holding solidly.
Initial third:
The first third of the cigar is dominated by woodsy flavors and coffee. There are also herbal notes, sweetness, creaminess and some hints of toastiness. The cigar is pretty complex, and the flavors are mild in strength.
Middle third:
In the middle third, the flavor profile is similar to that of the previous third, with the addition of roasted aromas. This middle third is very pleasant.
Final third:
In the final third, some bitterness appears but doesn't hamper the pleasant smoking experience.
In summary, it is a very good choice for an everyday smoke, especially for new comers to Habanos.
Smoking time:
40 – 60 Minutes

Every bit of medium bodied
, 7/29/2022
By Robert - I bought a 5-pack of these last year, and just now bought a full box. I found the write-up a bit misleading. Though these begin delicate and floral, some mid-palate spice makes an entrance by about the first third, and the flavor steadily builds to a balanced, resonant flavor that every bit of medium bodied. Cigar Aficionado rated these 93 in 2021, calling them medium-full bodied and said they "pack a punch". I agree.

Great Morning smoke

By BasicTek - I've really enjoyed these as a mild-medium smoke usually 1st one of the day. The flavor is good and smooth, they build up to a solid medium smoke by the final 3rd. Burn is always good draw can be tight (this may be due to humidor issues). The flavor builds up slowly after the initial mild 1st third and never gets too strong or complex. Overall a great priced medium bodied cigar that could also be an every day smoke.

A delightful, relaxing interlude

By RIck - I don't have as much time as I wish to enjoy a great cigar most evenings. This cigar presents as the perfect size, taste and experience for my lifestyle. I prefer a medium, clean taste in a darker wrapper and this one fits the bill. I greatly enjoyed the box.

Cuban flavor yet mellow and creamy
, 6/19/2016
By Cody - Shocking cigar for the price. If you are familiar with the H Upmann Petit Corona this cigar is very familiar, just turned down a bit. Creamy, floral, naturally aromatic and sweet, undertones of leather, very mild pepper. True cuban flavor without kicking your can. Great for introduction to cuban cigars or for the enthusiast looking for something on the mellow side. Great aging potenial.
