H. Upmann Magnum 46 Single from mid 16 : Ode to the 43 to 46 gauge review week

[Cmelle]

I purchased this cigar from the robs rotation sampler in mid 16. I've only ever smoked 2 of these and have loved them both. 

The wrapper is a nice brown. Light sheen to it. Draw, burn and construction are near perfect.

Starts off with some nice coffee notes and a toastiness. Nice amount of flavour. 

Midway I get a nice bread/biscuit flavour. Gorgeous mix with the coffee notes. 

I struggled to get any other nuances, but it was a very flavourful stick. 

There was a thread about tooth and those white spots in the ash, and i realized this cigar had it. I hope the pic comes out well. If you told me the white spots in the ash meant flavour, I couldn't argue with you in this case. 

Recent threads about tea pairings got me to try something new this time so I paired this with a double teabag tea. One teabag of Camomile and Lemon, and one teabag of Lemon and Ginger. Added some honey, and it actually worked well.

Hope you enjoyed the review

Great review. I split a box of these with a buddy. I set them in my humidor for a couple months and pulled one out this weekend to smoke while I was kayaking/fishing on the river. It was a great stick. A very strong cigar. Quite possibly one of the fullest CCs I've ever had and I really enjoyed it. There were some harsh edges but I can see myself buying many more of these.

@SloppyJ I agree 100%. Nice and full of flavour. Good for an end of the day cigar, with possibly a glass of rum or whiskey. I think I might have to find a box for myself also.

The Mag 46 is one of my all-time favorites. Thanks for a great review!
