Rub it in Elliot! This is my version:

One of these things is not like the other

One of these things just doesn't belong

Can you tell which one is not like the others

By the time I finish my song?

Petit Punch 08 I think perfect for a little beach stroll

H. Upmann Half Corona EOT Nov 2016

If you've ever wondered what it's like to have a shorter cigar with a little age on it, especially one like the H.Upmann Half Corona, which is intense in flavour when young, then please kindly read on.

I find the Half Corona a great option for a 30 to 40 minute smoke, but I don't reach for them often as I find them very strong in coffee and tobacco flavour when in their youth and light on that quintessential Upmann shortbread. This Half Corona was not like that and I guess 2-and-a-half years of rest saw the coffee flavours recede and the shortbread flavours build. It was very pleasant to smoke it like this. I have three left from a 5x5 tin split I did with some Sydney FoH members (I took one 5-count tin) and I would imagine I'll smoke all three in the next 6 months.

Both of them are my goto H. Upmann cigars! I'd like to say Half Corona shares the elements of Magnum 46 mostly while Connoisseur A is class of its own like others say ?. Half Corona for quick smoke, Connoisseur A for more Upmann experience ?!

Razor sharp burn, earthy cherry goodness.

ERDM CX from OMS SEP 15. Light body and great flavours. Am I the only one that feels these are somewhat like Cohiba, with the grassy thing and a touch of honey? But also something quite savoury / fatty, and really hard to pin down. Crap burn btw, but still a very nice smoke.

To me the mongrel aspect is more of a full or harsh strength. Not the ammonia taste but more of a wow i am smoking feeling. Usually people advise to “lay down “ a cigar b/c it is is more “mongrel” or full and needs rest. In the case of the PLPC it seems common consensus is 5 years. This one smoked smooth as silk ! Not really any bite back or overwhelming puffs to me. Really a pleasure to smoke. This is my definition not sure it’s agreed upon but it’s how it makes sense to me.

Started out slow but picked up nicely as it progressed.

Monte No. 2 ATE FEB 19 2nd one after the first one two weeks ago, I feel like I may need to put these back for a bit for them to reach what I’m experiencing with my NO. 5’s.

Not sure where you are but my view will be like that in Tahoe all week! Certainly need it after a really tough week with a family tragedy.

Gos Jul 18 jl1. Not sure if it’s me but not getting a ton of flavor. Did get citrus, cola and roasted nuts. It was my bday yesterday so could be still hurting from the weekend! Have a few boxes of fresh cigars smoking the house down so this will be resting until probably next year. Pic isn’t downloading ?

19 La Fuerza:

3rd from a recent FOH quarter box. All fantastic. Like a giant El Principe--as it should be. Richer than I recall them being. If this is the quality going forward I'll be buying these regularly.

@JohnS --you would love this. 94 points all day.

I 100% understand. I've had a recent LGR Jun 18 La Fuerza that was all pancake and molasses sweet that I rated as highly. I hope we encounter a few more superlative examples in the near future.
