Glad you had a similar experience! Yeah, these have definitely been tough to find but I hope in time things settle down and they become more available.
Hello lad! Thanks for the review! I got like 4-5 of these a few months ago and one month ago i tried one, it was good but not that good (as many were talking about), can't wait to see what age will do to them. And i am not sure when the box was purchased from i got them, as they were singles. We wll see, it will be for better for sure, also it wasn't crazy expensive. Take care!
Thank you man! Yeah I think these have great potential! If you got them early 2022 they’re most likely mid 2021 or something like that so they’ll definitely open up a lot in the coming years! Cheers!
I haven’t been able to find any of these guys, but I’d like to. I have a stack of the Montecarlo’s though, which are truly one of the best Sunday afternoon smokes I’ve had in a long time. Solid review, like always.
Ah that's a good pick and a timely review for me as it reminded me that it's one of those untried cigars. Light to medium, cream, baking spices, aging potential and affordable. How bad can it be? I should pick some up. Always a little tricky to "test" new releases that need time to prove themselves though. Cheers. PS: BTW did you try a before and after aging H. Upmann No.2 by any chance?
Definitely pick some up if you can find them! Do you mean the Upmann Connoisseur No 2s that I did a review of a while back? If so then no I haven’t actually revisited those but wow I just looked back now and it has been a lot longer than I thought! Thank you for the reminder haha I should go back to those
@@StogieLads Nope, not the connoisseur. Just the No.2, which is from what I understand the only remaining original from Upmann that was a continuation of the numbering model from Montecristo. Exact same vitola too. I hear amazing things about it, EG that it's almost as good new as aged, that it ages exceptionally well and changes character completely when it does. I'm close to buying a box on that description alone. And since you're my resident Upmann enthusiast, I thought I'd ask. I'll grab some Galanes while I'm at it, so thanks for the tip. Never really run out of cigars to get do we?
@@QualeQualeson I like the H. Upmann No. 2 (Piramide) and at 2 1/2 years of age I find it more refined than a Mag. 54. It is easy to be a fan-boy of H. Upmann cream, cedar, wood etc. I would pull the trigger on a box and test them as they age. That is what is fun about Cuban Cigars. I still have one from Feb 2018 that I am cooking.
@@mecklenburgcubancigars Hey. Thanks for sharing your experiences with it, and the endorsement. You're right about the fun of Habanos. I wasn't originally a fan of Upmann actually. Mag. 46 was one of the first boxes of cigars I bought, and my first impression was a strong eggplant note. One of the few edibles I truly detest. However, that idea is long gone by now, and if I don't have any Upmanns at hand today, I find myself missing that distinct bright note that no other marca has, so I always keep at least one box. I'll probably get a box of those No. 2's. I can't see myself go wrong there, but then I've been wrong before :p Thanks again.
hey boss! love your content! I'm a newbie and had a 'maybe dumb' question. Will different cigars in the same brand have the same tobacco blend and the difference be just the size? For example, will the Cohiba siglo 1 have same tobacco blend as siglo 2 or 3 but just be a different size?
Thank you so much man! That's definitely not a dumb question but a very common question actually. The interesting but slightly disappointing answer is that no one truly knows. Unlike non-cuban brands that mostly share all the specifics of their blends, Habanos don't reveal or say anything about what actually goes into their cigars. Partly, this is due to the huge shortage of Cuban tobacco, so they can't keep consistency in the same way as the rest of the world because they just have to use whatever tobacco is available. Unfortunately, the only way to really find out about the differing blends is to try everything and make your own mind up, because we'll never truly get any answers from Habanos!
@@StogieLads thanks! So for non Cuban brands, is the the tobacco the same between two cigars in the same brand? For example Padrón 1926 will have the same tobacco blend as Padrón 1964?
@@alexandercanha2996 Oh no, quite the opposite. With non-cuban brands, blends and lines are very precise. Although both the Padron 1926 series and 1964 series uses all Nicaraguan tobacco, they use different primings and blends. Padron aren't very open in what specifics differ these blends, but the flavor profiles are different for sure and highly consistent between the years. A 1926 from 2010 will taste the exact same as a 1926 from this year. With Cubans, though, you can have a box of Montecristo No. 2s and each cigar will have differences, let alone between lines like the Montecristo No. 1 or 2.
@@hnewman2907 what you recommend fromm new world with that sweet tabacoo flavour that cubans give? my favoruite cigars are H. Upmann magnum 50 and romeo y julieta churchill and could not found this taste in any new world
My top 5 Robusto!
Good review, pretty spot on. I look forward to smoking more, it’s a shame they are harder to find now.
Glad you had a similar experience! Yeah, these have definitely been tough to find but I hope in time things settle down and they become more available.
I got a Feb 21 box recently. Going to wait until the year mark before I try one. The FOH guys really loved it at two years.
That’s awesome! A year is a great benchmark to try for the first time!
