H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Toro
H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Toro
54 X 6.00 Age unknown, been sitting in my main humidor for 2 to 3 years. The cigar is nicely presented with the cedar wrap and banding. The Cameroon wrapper was a dandy, medium brown in color and highly toothed. The construction was solid, the pre-light draw being just a bit tight. The cigar lit OK but the tighter draw made it difficult to get as much smoke as I like. The first 1/4 inch or so was NOT GOOD. Bitter and nasty. I almost bailed out, but decided to stick with it, and I'm glad I did. Once it hit about 1/2 inch in the cigar just bloomed. It began to deliver a really nice medium bodied sweet tobacco, cedary smoke. Smooth and creamy. As the cigar burned down the draw started to open up and by mid-point was delivering loads of smoke. The flavor stayed consistent about 2/3 the way through. At which point the cedar and tobacco sweetness gave way to a more earthy tobacco profile and the strength increased a couple notches. Straight burn all the way down. By the time I nubbed it I was sure glad I stuck with it. If I could use only one word to describe this cigar it would be: Pleasant. Once the cigar settled in it fit perfect with my mid morning coffee on the front porch with the newspaper. I'm not going to rush out and buy a box, but I sure won't avoid this brand. A tasty, smooth medium body smoke. It gets the bsk thumbs-UP. |
