H. Upmann Coronas J Tubed Cigar - Box of 25

on my first from the three pack and the draw is non existent smells like it would taste great but i just cant get a draw

These are very nice cigars but i have to give it one star. unfortunately one of the sticks i was not able to draw from. it was soo tight that i couldn't smoke it. I tried cutting the top to see if it helps but no luck. i had to throw away. fro £8 cigar you would expect more consistency especially from U.Uppmann.

I really would like to add 5 stars, H Upmann is a personal favourite and this one is a regular smoke of mine it's perfect smoke time for most occasions for me and the flavours are perfect for my taste creamy, nut, smooth smoke and with a good puff to it..... Well there's the downfall out of average 25 I get 4 tight draws. It's real shame because they really are good little sticks, I do recommend for the price. It's just one of those you can't trust full heartedly.

I have to admit that as someone who only smokes the occasional cigar I am a lightweight when it comes to my choices. I used to smoke a range of coronas and tres petit, and before arriving at these Upmann's, I would have said my favourite smokes would (at different times) have been: Diplomaticos, Romeo y Julieta, Bolivar, Ramon Allones or Partagas - all in the shorter sizes. I always avoided this ring gauge (36) because I thought they would burn faster and hotter and only ended up buying one as they were available locally and I mistakenly thought they were a mareva. To my significant surprise these don't burn fast or hot and offer a delightfully smooth and flavoursome smoke for a lightweight like me. The are a little more flavoursome than the Diplamaticos and remind me of a Bolivar with a little more edge (towards a RyJ) and have a delightful aroma when smoked. I couldn't recommend these enough, they are great value (especially when you buy 25).

Like the original reviewer, this cigar was my 'Eureka!' moment, too. I'm a complete novice so I'm not going to try and pretend I noticed all the subtler notes in this cigar, but around the halfway mark it hit a smooth, slightly sweet note that was absolutely beautiful. I will definitely investigate these lovely smokes further. This cigar gave me 40 minutes of deeply relaxed, contemplative bliss. 5 stars from this newbie right now. Just about to buy some more.
