General Information
The H. Upmann Magnum 48 Edición Limitada 2009 is a hand - made Cuban cigar from the 2009 Edicion Limitada series by Habanos S.A. It's a short robusto with a size of 110 x 19.1 mm (4 1/4 x 48), and each cigar costs about $12.
Appearance
It has a dark, oily and soft wrapper with a texture similar to goose bumps. The appearance rating is 5/5.
Construction
It has the features of a great Cuban puro, with a firm touch, an expertly made triple cap and a full and tight foot. The draw is easier than expected but still good. The construction rating is 4.5/5.
Flavor
- One third: Offers chocolate and cream flavors (milk chocolate), medium - bodied, with light spices in the nose. The finish lingers and is a bit bitter. Rating: 4/5.
- Two thirds: Nicotine builds up. It shows flavors of hay, cream and overripe black cherry. The burn is straight, and the finish gets longer.
- Three thirds: Stronger than expected, medium - medium full - bodied. Milk chocolate flavor fades, replaced by tobacco and cooking spices like French provençale mix. Too much nicotine to nub.
Value
It's worth having a box in the humidor. The price is inflated due to the second band, but it's a worthy Edicion Limitada. Value rating: 3/5.
Overall, it's a good to great cigar, recommended for evening smoking or as a second cigar of the day.
