H. Upmann Half Corona

Rated 91/100

- Cigar Aficionado

This odd-sized cigar is short and snappy, outspoken and on the uptake. Released in 2011, this is like a jailbird out on good behaviour. It pulls no punches, holds no scruples and, for all that, has earned public trust. With a dark demeanour and a mix of the earthbound and exotic, this is a man of means beyond his measure. Why do time, when you make your own breaks? Cigar Aficionado said in their 91-rating review, "A dark, oily little smoke whose first puffs deliver a bracing shot of up-front salty flavours, which are counterbalanced by walnut notes and hints of orange peel."
