H Upmann Vintage Cameroon Robusto Review

[radar]

I bought a jar of the Corona's in this line to get a jar and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the smokes. So, I went back and bought a five pack of these Robusto's which came with a nice large ash tray. Again a pleasant surprise!

The review of the Corona's says it all, great construction and burn, sweet rich creamy flavor, and a strong finish. The difference I had between the Robusto and Corona was the finish. The Robusto has a finish that is stronger and richer than the Corona. Both cigars left a great aftertaste. Ithink I paid $24 for the 5er and the ash tray. Can't beat it.

I purchased the robustos in the jar. I was not sure what I was going to get since I don't have a lot of experience with Upmanns. The Upmann cigars that I have smoked in the past were fine, but nothing really special. So, for the price, I figured that fine would be OK. Well, I did not get the shaft at all. Thus far (about 1/2 dozen down), I have yet to have a bad one. Draw is medium to just loose, but not hot. Lots of smoke. These sticks actually have some flavor to them. Burn is even. I would have been happy with these at twice the price!

Hola Aficionados!
Well, I been smoking a lot of Non Cubans lately from my BOTLs!
But this particular Vitola of H.Upmann surprises me. Put it in my humi and set it to rest at 68%RH 75F (Cayman average at the moment) I'll say for about three weeks now?.
It's a very nice mild cigar, lots of cream (first third of the cigar)
I Can't believe the way it burn, Perfecto!!! not ounce that I touch it up, and I'm talking about perfect burn here. Flavourfull cigar, creamy and a little kick on the last third of the cigar.
So far the Padron 5000, 4000 and H.Upmann Cameroon Robusto is my top three non Cubans. For the price of H. Upmann, Good Non cuban Cigar.


Base on my own palate and a very limited experiense with non cubans.


Thanks for a good cigar Jason!

Salud!

Not a bad smoke. Although I agree with Radar on the rich, creamy taste, I didn't get a strong finish. I think it was lacking only in this department. It was flavorful and got more rich toward the end, but picked up some spice at the end as well. Wrapper looked dull and dry. Smoked great. Nice burn, lots of smoke, great draw.

I bought a box of the torpedos and thought they were quite nice. Excellent construction & burn. Smooth taste. A local smoke shop does a 50% off sale in Jan, and I intend to get another box if they have them.
