H. Upmann Magnum 46 Porcelain Jar with 30 cigars

After enjoying the other magnum sizes I gave this a go. Well, I know it is just bad luck but this was completely plugged and unsmokeable. I tried to revive but ended up removing a lot of the filler with perfect draw and still no smoke getting through. I am currently smoking the Lcdh royal robusto which is amazing from the first light. These things happen!!!!!!

This cigar is very nice, can take a while to get going due to its length. But overall it is a nice slow burn cigar.

Very good cigar, nice length. Excellent flavour.

A very nice cigar, it changes flavours with the smoking time. Creamy, chocolate taste at first, it gets spicier halfway through the burn. Quite smooth at first. Even burn, beautiful flavours.

Reviewed by Steve Smith Introduction: This head spinning tasty stick arrived via stealth bomber when I made a wish from across the Ohio river. Thank you DonJefe. Anyone want to buy some really nice domestics cheap? This is ridiculous I have been smoking cigars for 20 years and feel like an idiot not going dark earlier. Pre-Light Ruminations: Smelled nice a lot like the permanent resonant smell from my mustache. No matter what I do always that cigar smell in the short hairs. This kind of flavors any pre light thoughts. Looks like a rough triple cap. Nice firm cigar - but without exception in my limited experience Cubans seem firmer than the domestics. Pre light draw was slightly tight but good. Initial Thoughts This stick started out raspy and settled in after about a ½ inch. For its ring size it was not as strong as I expected medium to full with a little sharp nose. Kept my interest, got some twang, not ethereal, but good at this price point. Mid Burn Experience Settled in to that nice leather, coffee zone got a little 3D as the buzz set in. Burn was great. Stopped at a Walgreen's for more nicorette and left the stick on the mirror. This yappy little dog in the car next door shut up and just stared at the smoke. Was still staring when I came back out. I felt the same way. Got that nice subtle nutty flavor and more so a what the hell is that flavor kind of feeling tying to put to words the sensation. Last Third Got a bit stronger towards the end. Spice came forward. Not ultra smooth but good. Nutty spice some tongue twang and a real good buzz. Smoked it to the nub. Conclusion Nice smoke a little different than the ones I've had so far. Liked it, seems like a decent value and deserving of some more attention. More on the way. I don't think we needed to know about the moustache effect on the aroma of cigars. A little to innocuous but some good comments in between the by play. Overall Rating: 6/10 Reviewed by: Joe Mazloom After an interesting (?) start that almost switched me off, this review settles down to a really nice straightforward set of easy to understand descriptives completely different from the previous two. Good work. Score: 8/10 Reviewed by: Richard Whitwell An good review. This would be my second place choice. The author organized the review well; however, he did not pay attention to the details in this cigar. He could have left out the part where he went into a store and left the cigar burning in the car.
