Tasting

• One third: It starts strong for an H.Upmann, with spiciness at the back of the tongue. The draw is perfect, but it may show weak burn signs, though the long - standing ash indicates good construction. The draw can be too easy.
• Two thirds: The strength decreases to light - medium. A slight creaminess appears after the bitter and vegetal first part. The vegetal taste may last until halfway but doesn't affect the balance.
• Three thirds: Wonderful flavours like creaminess, sweetness, nuts, and roasted almonds emerge. There's no bitterness, high acidity makes the flavours linger. It has stronger - than - expected nutty flavours and a creamy structure.
