2022-12 H. Upmann Magnum 54 (SOU MAY 2021)

[cabaiguan juan]

This is from a box that I bought a few months ago at the suggestion of some members here. It is a gorgeous looking cigar. Most Cuban cigars look like trash with there wrinkly wrappers and such but this one looks like a typical, well constructed Nicaraguan cigar.
1/3: I get raisins and corn chips.
2/3: The sweetness of the corn has morphed into that of bread and cinnamon and that combined with the raisins makes me think of cinnamon raisin toast.
3/3: Vanilla and sweat grass. I get both of these quite often with Cuban cigars.
This was good but like the JL2, I think this will get better with age.

These need to age for sure, but they are amazing.

There's that sweat grass again.

Now you are singing the song of my people!

Interesting you didn't get any leather. I don't pick up a ton of flavors at times, but always get a bunch of leather from Upmanns.

Leather? Now that will be all that I taste.
